You just know he's going to go straight for Edelman.

What a pointless exercise suspending him was.

$100K fine, though, so not chump change.

And another dirty hit would pretty much guarantee a suspension.

Dashon Goldson ban overturned


Dashon Goldson of Tampa Bay Buccaneers has 1-game suspension overturned by NFL - ESPN

Not surprising at all that it got overturned. Look forward to watching the WRs compete against him but hope there's no dirty hits or injuries.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

here comes a concussion for a pats RB or WR...

 

[PatsFan2]

Well if we had signed him we wouldn't be in this predicament.

 

[shmessy]

The flip side is that he may be tiptoing through the tulips this week and paranoid as hell about the next one being a season suspension.

Yeah, what a "predicamnet"!

The Pats could be 0-2 like HIS team with a LOSS against the Jets like HIS team!!!!!

Post of the Year, PF2. Advantage: Tampa Bay Front Office!!!

15 times we you've made an illegal hit?

Our bad.

Everyone deserves a 16th chance!

Just keep giving head shots and paying your fines. Nothing that really matters (missing games) will happen to you.

Unless he appeals it again. Apparently, all you have to do in order to get a suspension overturned by herr Goodell is appeal it.

YUP! Mother*****

You think the fact he plays the Pats has anything to do with the overturn?....

 

[JMC00]

Interested in what made them overturn it. Because the hit on Sproles was clear.

According to Alex Marvez, the suspension was replaced with a $100K fine.

So I'm fairly sure the idea was "How is it Suh gets a $100K fine, when he's been suspended in the past, but I get suspended for a game, and I haven't been?"

And "I'm playing the Pats on Sunday Roger"

Oh well, hopefully we can avoid injury and have a few drives extended by stupid penalties.

 

[Gronkowski123]

Bad news.

Brees struggled against Tampa, and he has better weapons than Brady.

How are we going to get first downs, let alone touchdowns???

13-10 pats. Unless the D collapses and we get blown away. lol

Edelman winced at the news.

This was my first thought too.
