Suspension reduced to only one game, BS. ððĪŽ
Yep, NFL BS.
That's why they gave him two. They knew they were going to reduce it to one.
All about player safety my ass. If someone kills a guy on the field some day with this type of hit, they might get 2 games. Might.
Both blatant kill shots on Davante result in a wrist slap. The league doesn't care about concussions, clearly, neither does the union. This is becoming like the NHL, where goons try to take out the star players. The golden goose is getting choked pretty hard.
TSR86FREE, I agree and It does truly blow my mind that the union stands up more for the players who are being suspended than they do for the players that are getting hurt. Anyhow, I truly think the NFL and the union together have to do something about these types of hits.
they hafta implement the college targeting rule. and I'll keep hammering on the idea that if you take a player out with an obvious illegal hit you sit until that player can play again. about the only thing that will make a lot of them change their approach.
The college targeting rule is too weak for the NFL. The NFL needs to implement mandatory suspensions and fines. In college you only get ejected for the game if it is in the first half and if in the second half then the player misses the first half of the next game. NFL players don't care, they know they might get a 15 yard penalty. If they knock a player out of the game, it helps their team.
per the NCAAâs rulebook:
- Making âforcible contact against an opponent with the helmet crown,â or the top of the tacklerâs head.
- Making âforcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent.â
A targeting foul is an auto-ejection, and if it occurs in the second half, it includes a suspension for the first half of the following game.

I completely agree that it needs to be implemented like yesterday and I don't feel that way just because it happened to a Packers player. I have said the same exact thing you said in that if you want it to really make an impact if you concuss someone on a dirty hit you sit out as long as they do. You get guys missing 4-6 paychecks and I bet you don't lead with your head anymore.
I also think that they need expand targeting to blocking a defenseless player even if they don't use their helmet and stopping players from piling on when a play is obviously over. How many times in the NFL do you see a play is dead an a player will come flying in and put on another hit on the pile of players?
I can't escape the feeling that since the league let Barr go, the players should mete out some street justice tomorrow.
It seems like like the only recourse, and it is more than just revenge: Barr set the blueprint on how to end the Packers season. If the league won't do anything, the Packers should, as a deterrent. It's self-preservation.
Send a message to Barr, the Vikings and the entire League: Fix this or there will be ugly.
I used to be about the high road, but I don't really care any more.
No one else cares, why should I?

I care
Then you're a better man than I, Gunga Din.
I could care less.
If I had the time
Alright then, got you down for a Joe Theisman with audio.
