NFL Week 6-Revised Bounty Suspensions.
 

Yeah, many more weeks of discussion about the tragic injustice that has been hoisted upon Jonathan Vilma

Steelers and Titans on Thursday night. It would be great to see the Steelers take a poor Titans squad to the woodshed.

Good for the Commish.

Tragic injustice??!!?? Vilma and the others got off easier than they should have.

Forgot to include the mocking air quotes around tragic injustice.

Fuck Vilma and the Saints.

While I agree these players got off easier than they should have, Goodell wields far too much power.

Not sure how Goodell has too much power. The union and owners deemed him the sole arbiter of punishment. Vilma finds a sympathetic court who define conditions and authority. Then Goodell reaffirms using different language. I think it's fine how it works. Slapping 10k in cash on a table to encourage injuries is pretty low.

Don't the other sports leave discipline to single individuals? Not sure who handles appeals, but it's not like discipline is overturned very often.

Donald Brown had his knee scoped and is out 2-3 weeks.

Funny part is that I got an email from my brother on our fantasy football email chain about this a couple hours ago before anything broke. One of those "I work with a guy who knows a guy who is friends with a girl who is like a sister to Donald Brown..."

So what are the chances of the NFL banning all blocking below the waist?

Drew Brees needs to just stop already.

Drew Brees slams bounty probe

The color commentator on the NFL-owned network actually uttered the words "Dude, that's a great throw!" a few minutes ago.

You mean the league that doesn't allow you dive at a QB below the waist, but has said you can do that to a defensive player, as long as you don't start from too far away before taking out a knee?

I hope Mike Wallace teams up with RG3 next year.

Blocked punt. Crap.

Jesus Christ, Chris Johnson cant get one freaking yard

Chris Gardocki would never let that crap happen.

God created Chris Johnson to troll fantasy players

These are the good refs?

Dola-Brown play wasn't even close. This one is most likely a tuck situation

So. Good refs=horribly not even close wrong on 2 straight plays.

Probably it's time to give them another raise then.

I miss the good ol' days, when the Steelers had defensive players that made plays to shut down those last ditch drives. Carnell Lake, Woodson, and young Troy P. used to almost always come up with a turnover or a big play that shut down last minute drives.

Shitty kicker strikes again.

Awesome Dick Lebeau 4th quarter D

Ninja timeout before the ninja kick.

Right, because 54 is so routine

If Ben runs for the three or four yards he could have easily got, the kick would have been good

I am so disgusted with sports right now. Baseball, football, curling, it doesn't matter. Nothing is going right.

54 is rapidly becoming a chip shot.

They should have gone for it or punted and gone for OT. Suisham doesn't have that kind of leg.

He's 9-9 before that kick. Tomlin has to reconsider that kick. The miss gives Tennessee the ball at midfield.

The only thing I'm surprised by was Tennessee didn't just throw passes deep down the sideline to get another two DPI calls and put them inside the 20.

I do agree Tomlin shouldn't have kicked it from 54, but if your kickers range is around 50, and you have the chance to run for 4-5 yards to get him inside that range, you have to know that.

Ike Taylor is so awful.

But they have the media on their side now so no big deal made about it.

However, Goodell will soon have the ability and pool of backups to replace guys who aren't calling things right.

Kevin Gilbride...really? You're gonna be that guy?

You don't make Jim angry. You won't like him when he's angry. :lol:

Dolphins willing to give three fans 10,000 if they can make a FG. From the 50 yard line.

Well Dan Carpenter has been pretty bad this season....

What a bad set of 12:00CT games today.

Dallas/Ravens maybe...

NFL Redzone channel to the rescue.

I'd love...LOVE to see the 49ers just pummel the Giants today. Something like 42-10. Just complete domination in every phase of the game, not unlike the 49ers last two games.

Then I'd like to see Gillbride blame the loss on Justin Smith holding onto his O-linemen, or something else equally minuscule.

My beloved Cards take on the Bills at home today. Cards have no offensive line-sacked 17 times in last two games. They have no running game-#1 Beanie Wells is on the Injured Reserve/Can Return list until late Nov. #2 Ryan Williams is now on Injured Reserve.

Bills got absolutely stomped in their last two and a half games. I predict Arizona wins in the desert 56-40. :)

I'm torn on starting Alex Smith or Kevin Kolb. Do you really think Kolb is going to light up the Bills secondary like that? I'm especially cautious with him because of that paper-mache O-line.

Haha. I can see it if it was for 50 million or something but for 10K, lol.... Tightasses.

3 yards shy of the NFL record for 10k.

Tough week for the Niners kicks off today as they begin their portion of the two games in five days part of the schedule.

I expect today's game to come down to the final two minutes.

Ahh, so you foresee a defensive game, eh?

Romo romoing it

I know he was written off as a bust after the 2nd quarter of the first game, but Tannehill might be okay as a starter for the Dolphins.

Claiborne decked by Smith, called for pass interference

THERE WAS A SECOND LEFT!

The only thing Kolb will be able to do is throw the ball-no line to protect him and no line to make holes for whatever running back they use. I'd probably still go with Smith cause he's at home and out for revenge against the Giants.

Knowing how my predictions normally work, wouldn't surprise me if Arizona wins 3-0 in OT. :)
