Do these fines really even matter? These players spend that much on dinner

what they should be doing is banning them for 3 game minimums with no pay, I would bet my left but things would be taken seriously real fuging quick

but then the NFL ‘brand’ and dirty teams would suffer and may put revenue at jeopardy

NFL always trying so desperately hard to find that small tiny grey area between giving the illusion of a goal they’re serious about safety with the main goal protecting revenue just assuming/hoping no one notices by mass, hallow marketing advertising ‘they care about player safety’

what a joke

We been too busy trying to be the "good guys" in our division, while all our rivals turned us into their bitch, played dirty, and took cheap shots.  And look where it got us.  Hopefully Rhule sees this and the attitude shifts.  We need to be the aggressors from here on out, bc they're gonna keep doing it.

The main problem is this---if you have a WR going over the middle and a Safety earning $12m per season is making a hit, he does not think of the $50K fine.  A player making $600,000 per season, on the other hand, would forfeit 8% of his gross salary on that one hit.  They do not make the hit.  Money as a punishment in the NFL is a dumb way to enforce rules.  There is no equity in salaries.

yeah but it does show a pattern and can build to suspensions if the individual players don't stop, like with burfict.

Right---but if Player A makes 10x higher than Player B, Player A makes several dangerous hits before it enters his head during games--if money is the deterrent.  Player B loses a game check--before taxes---he is less likely to make the hit the first time.  It changes the playing style based on the player's ability to pay the fine. 

So if it take 2-3 dirty hits to get where it impacts Player A, is it a deterrent?  No more than a limit during deer season discourages hunting.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
