When did Webb get an unnecessary roughness penalty?

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not so sure that's all that's gonna happen to Talib.

This isn't exactly his first offense, and his "yeah, I meant to do it" comments are no doubt an embarrassment to the league.

[Skydivingcows]

no suspension even after his comments.  Wow.  I think the league is setting an example that it's ok to be wreckless. 

I hope they put in the rule for ejection, but not the way he currently proposes it.  Make it where the player has to sit out the rest of the current drive and the opposing team is rewarded significantly.... such as 15 additional yards, if within 15 yards to endzone, auto first down, ball at the 1, and ball placed at 15 on the following kickoff if opposing team scores.

So much for "player safety," huh Goondel?

 

What a crock of horse poo if nothing else happens to him.

Don't think that's settled yet.

Suspensions tend to take longer, and it wouldn't be effective till next season anyway.

That'll teach them

good job Goodell

[truthjuice]

These fines are nothing to these guys. 

When did Joe get called for unnecessary roughness? I don't remember that. 

[KillaCamNewton]

This is why Goodell and the league are a joke. How is what Talib did any different than Burfict. Both made no sort of football play and instead deliberately tried to injure another player. It just so happened that Philly got up after the play and Antonio Brown didnt.

For those asking when Webb got an unnecessary roughness penalty, it was on the last play of the game.

[PandaPancake]

Didn't we lose enough?

DENVER - The Broncos defense played on the edge all season, blurring the lines between intimidating and penalties.

Super Bowl 50 featured a dominant performance with a cost. The NFL fined cornerback Aqib Talib $26,044 for separate incidents involving a facemask on receiver Corey Brown and taunting, our partners at The Denver Post learned Friday.

The ruling means Talib is not expected to be suspended after the league reviewed his actions.

I'd really rather they didn't suspend Talib. It was bad and he admitted it was intentional and I get that but I really don't want the NFL to start going down the road where basically every personal foul is a suspension. Burfict getting 3 games was extreme. He should have gotten 1, maybe 2. Now they're considering a suspension for a facemask? Can't wait for roughing the passer to be an automatic ejection and 1 game suspension.

It's not going to make anyone feel any better or help us in any way.

suspend him and players like him wont consider the 15 yard mark the start of "free pass" territory. I don't know why that's hard to comprehend.
