It does seem unfair to me that a guy making what Alosi makes gets fined 25k and is suspended for the rest of the season while a guy making what Brayton makes gets fined 15k with no suspension.

I don't want to see Brayton suspended, but this is pretty bad...

Wow. LOL That was hilarious. Also LOL @ everyone on our sideline pretending like that never happened.

And for everyone that said he was dirty, the thing that amazes me is that when he came out, I remember he was actually viewed as being quite athletic. I think he ran a 4.7 40, numbers similar to Peppers, but maybe he's lost some of that and resorts to the dirty stuff instead? Because when he's in space he looks like he's stuck in quick sand quite often.

That happened off the field. Brayton should be arrested. Definitely should be releases from the team. I would think an incident like this would allow for a termination of his contract. Punishment should be something like Vick received. Suspended from NFL and the matter turned over to the police to prosecute as the law allows.

lol, it was pretty vicious and seems to violate that unspoken rule in the NFL among players that you don't intentionally try to injure another player... BUT, maybe there seems to be another unspoken rule that if a guy gets too far on your sideline and doesn't get off, anything goes???

It's my understanding that this kind of thing happens all the time (although not this blatantly) but most times it's not caught by the camera or discussed because the other team wants to do it to you just like you did it to them.

With the Alosi thing and this, I think the NFL is going to start cracking down on this kind of thing BIG TIME...

i think its ridiculous and the panthers should discipline him pretty hard.

Get over it. The falcons player decided to run out of bounds and sometimes things happen. Deliberate or not crap like that is going to happen in a violent game. He got fined so move on. I guess our players should start to offer to wash the opposing teams socks after every game as well so they can all be gentleman and such in a further effort to make us the door mat of the NFL. Im just glad you have no pull with the organization or we may be in danger of having a team of some of the nicest tackling dummies youve ever met on the field.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
