Not his best moment

 

[goheels22002]

No question that this is a cheap shot by Edelman.

Totally agree with the fine. (Too bad it wasn’t more.)

But where do these absurdly precise numbers come from?

Looked clean enough for buffalo

Jk

Totally deserved the fine, especially with the NFL trying to protect players heads.

The numbers are so precise so that we can be certain Goodell just pulled it out of his ass.

He made a bad hit.
We see these hits, and much worse, EVERY WEEK!

Sure, it was cheap, but it wasn't an "I'm going to end your career" hit. He was penalized, and fined. He deserved it.
We watch the Pats get dirty hits (much worse) on them every game, and hope for retaliation.
But the team shows restraint and professionalism.

But to say he should be ejected is WAY over the top. IMO.
How many ejections do we see?

We have/had individuals in the league, who have been repeat offenders almost every week.
Burfict, Suh..etc. They've been doing VERY BAD THINGS for years.
They're still here.

I love the comments in the tweet.:
"If I was the Bills, I would break Brady's legs next time they meet." (Paraphrasing).

So you complain about hurting guys, and recommend hurting back???
Yea, nice logic.. Not too biased?

Everybody is so freaking jealous of the Pats continued success. .

I'm gonna miss the attention, when it's gone

Bills deserve every shot we can give them. I never forgot all those games back in the 90s. Good for Jules.

I think they're based upon a percentage increase from year to year.

I would not mind seeing burfrict tossed for good. Still loved that shocked look on his face when Floyd cashed him out

Either your a homer or you advocate brain damage. Hint, the advocate answer is the lesser of two evils. It would also seem to reason that you were ok with Gronk's dirty hit last year?

Schedule of fines for the 2018 season

The original schedule of fines in 2011 was collectively bargained and it goes up by 5% each year.

 

[bormio]

I really like Edelman. I did not see that part of the game last week. That hit was downright dirty.

 

[Brewskies]

I really like Edelman, always have. However, this was a cheap shot, unlike him.

The fine is a joke to these guys. The price of doing business. I don't think he should be suspended because that hasn't been the practice. Maybe it should be, every fan and team would pay attention and just maybe these stupid stuff would stop, maybe next season. It teaches young footballers the wrong way to play.

On to GB

Go Pats

I blame the league for Gronk's meltdown last year. A guy can only take it so long before he snaps.
