Complete bullshit. Another knee jerk reaction like Concussion Sunday.

They have absolutely no case for suspending JuJu. No player has ever been suspended for a crack back block. That would be absolute b.s. The only reason that they're even talking about it is because of Gruden.

They did. 1 game for Juju. I'd appeal this nonsense.Originally Posted by GBMelBlount

Fuck the NFL!!!! That's complete bullshit! Where was the suspension for Richard Rodgers for his crack back block last week against the Steelers???
I'm seriously very close to being done with this shit.

I'm sure he'll appeal
Array title="AtlantaDan has a reputation beyond repute">
He will - Exhibit A for the appeal will be how this fits with America's favorite overage frat boy only getting one game for his assault in the Bills game

I told you so.
So juju gets suspended for a one time hit, but barfass as a repeat offender kicks roosy nix in the head and gets nothing. What garbage. I guess barfass is one of gotohell's favorites and if you dare hit him too hard you get suspended. All this while he is allowed to be a barbarian and injure people
Burfict is the only reason why the Steelers-Bengals are out control

He's not going to win. This is the NFL telling him to forget about playing Hines Ward football in todays league.
If they are honest, they would add not named vontaze burfict at the end, because he can just kick who ever and get away with it

Show me where 1 single player has been suspended for a crack back block in the NFL. It hasn't happened and the NFL can't just start changing the punishment for the same act because Gruden was crying about it.
What Gronk did was 10 times worse and he got the same punishment.

The taunting is what did it. And there is no way to appeal that. What is he going to say he was swapping holiday recipes with him?

AJ Green turned UFC on Jalen Ramsey and no suspension.

I don't have to show you anything, it's the Roger Goodell show, making things up on the fly. He needs more pension money and full use of a business jet.
True, but its worth a try.

Exactly. This is what I loved about Watt with his hit last week. He just walked off the field because he knew it would draw unnecessary to himself.

LMAO!

Yep and that was much worse than the football play that JuJu made.

Don't like it considering the comps out there for 1 game suspensions, but I'm not at all surprised. This will hit the rookies pocket for his game check even if Brown picks up the tab on the fine. Hopefully, the kid uses this as a learning opportunity as far as the "unsportsman-like" taunting. I think that was basically the tipping point for this vacation.
He did probably just endear himself even more (if that's possible) to every Steelers fan out there though...
Array title="AtlantaDan has a reputation beyond repute">
Has anyone been suspended before for taunting?
Gronk only getting one game for his assault the day before raises a legitimate issue of either Gronk getting off too easy or JuJu getting penalized too harshly
If this would have happened in an early Sunday game that was not nationally broadcast no way there is a suspension. National media picked up on Grunden's comments this morning and ran with how the game got out of control. Goodell reacted accordingly with a PR response.

JuJu just sold a bunch more #19 jerseys.
All Defense!
Clean, vicious hit IMO. The taunting brought more attention to it.....hence the suspension.
Array title="Shoes has a reputation beyond repute">
The NFL is covering themselves by calling it a safety violation. That being the case Burfict should be out of the league with his history.
Array title="Craic has a reputation beyond repute">
You're exactly right. That last sentence is very telling.
Array title="SteelerFanInStl has a reputation beyond repute">
You said that he wasn't going to win. Previous appeals have often been won by the player due to prior precedent. If the same play has been punished a specific way repeatedly in the past, the NFL can't just all of the sudden change the punishment. If I were JuJu, I'd appeal the shit out of this and take it as far up as it can go.

But according to WineyBengalsFan, he's just misunderstood and everybody "baits" him... Going all the way back to his college career.
