Sherrod Martin fined 40K by the NFL

Getting as bad as NBA officiating.

They won't let guys like Harrison play the game.

Guys like this, MADE the NFL into what it is. Guys like Buckus, and Singletary. Now you want to change it into flag football?

Some of these fines are really, really nitpicking. Most people can tell when a play was meant to happen or not.

I dont think the NFL should be able to fine someone if the ref did not give a PF on the play. Its just not fair to the players the way its set up. So punching a guy in the face is fine as long as your winning but if you hit someone not the Gooddell way its 100,000 out of your paycheck. Yea makes complete since.

Was this the goal line penalty of his? It'd be one thing if what he was doing was done in a menacing or overtly aggressive way, but damn.. How about when Jstew got his concussion a few weeks ago? Yea Stew wasn't a defenseless receiver but that hit was late and aimed directly at his head, just dirty really, and that dude didn't even get a penalty, much less a fine.

They need to make these fines percentage based; guys like Martin can't afford the ridiculous officiating of 2010. And how about priorities as well? A boxing match on the field nets you 25k, while playing the actual game is almost double that? Insane.

    • Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`. 
    • Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something? 
    • At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
