    One Game Suspension For Gronk

    This seems about right - no way a 2 game suspension to keep him out for the Steelers game would not have been reduced

    New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has been suspended one game by the NFL without pay for his late hit on defenseless Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White in Sunday's 23-3 victory.

    Not ejecting Gronk from the game is yet another example of how random the officiating has become - we can count on several major screwups in the playoffs

    It's a good thing, since I want to beat the Pats at full strength...I want no excuse.

    Fuck that - let them have 20 guys with broken ankles going into the game. As long as they lose, they can have all the excuses they want.

    If he commits another similar PF he should get 4 games next.

    Guys got suspended one game for late hits . This was an intentional late flagrant attempt to injure. Should be two games or more. I hope someone returns the favor to him. Screw him and his cheating ass team

    That's a fact when you play better QBs you have to disrupt some timing

    Ask me after the league decides what to do about JuJu - if Gronk only got one game for his assault it will be hard for the league to do anything other than fine JuJu for his hit on Burfict

    But given the reactions to last night's game I expect the league to play PR by suspending JuJu too

    Not only being obviously late, defenseless player and such, but he puts his Barry Bonds protective elbow into the back of dude's head like something out of WWE. Makes it more egregious, imo... don't even know why he's gonna appeal, but he will.

    Which, when he loses, he should get another game just for thinking it was worthy of the appeal system.

    What they should do is ban him from wearing any braces when he returns

    The NFL has absolutely no grounds to suspend JuJu for that hit. Crackback blocks happen every week in the NFL and there isn't a single player who's ever been suspended for it. JuJu has no prior history so all of this talk about a possible suspension is just pure bullshit.

    I agree with you but given my cynical view of the league office i am not the least bit surprised JuJu was suspended - maybe he would have received more lenient treatment if he was more similar to Gronk - if there is a way to fuck up a disciplinary action the NFL finds a way to do it

    It's what happens when the NFL is allowed to do whatever the hell they want. That would never have happened in a real court where there's actual law.

    Thank the NFLPA - it would not happen in major league baseball or the NBA, in which the players are represented by a real collective bargaining rep, either.

    JuJu was standing flat footed and hit Burfict in the chest. Iloka launched right into AB's helmet.

    Once again the NFL office has no clue about these issues I can't understand the hit on Brown by Iloka got reversed. Then JuJu if anything maybe should be a fine.
