Possible one game suspension for Woodson?

[R0ck0]

Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan duked it out last year and didn't get suspended. It's not just a GB preference.

NFL didn't want to suspend the game's best receiver and couldn't suspend Finnegan if they didn't suspend Johnson. My point is there is no consistency when it comes to dolling out punishment in the NFL.

Adam Schefter just explained that he will only receive a fine, the NFL will not suspend him for some mistake they made (not ejecting him from the game)

So if he would have slit his throat and the officials didn't see it, then the NFL wouldn't do anything? I don't really buy that logic. Why didn't he just say you don't get suspended for throwing a punch. No need making it complicated.

yes, they were both kicked out of a game (which hurt/punished their teams).

Woodson's Packers get got off the hook......which IMO is a double standard.

Of course I don't know if we experienced this kind of situation in the Goodell era before. To protect the shield, Goodell may pull the trigger on this one. Yet as one who likes competition, I can't say I want Woodson suspended. It would be a great opportunity for Cam to experience a great defense at full strength.

Our win record says otherwise.

What about the other mistakes made in that game, the Hawk penalty, the spotting on the punt, is the NFL going to fix those too?

Id take a win over playing a powerhouse team at full strength any day

He'll be fined, that's it.

Does this mean every player gets one shot at another player? *Smitty sighs in relief*

Last night when he threw a punch, Collinsworth said by rule he should have been tossed out of the game. Do any of you think Goodell will try to correct the error of the refs, and suspend Woodson for our game?:D

Maybe they were afraid he would use his

on them?

Of course, I'm kidding... because I don't think the guy who got punched even felt it. He didn't move that I saw.

I wish someone would have thrown Collinsworth out of the game.

Or punched him in the solar plexus with a Falcon Punch. GOD DAMN I can't stand him... he says to Al, with ~6:30 left in the game... "There's no need to rush. There's plenty of time for New Orleans to come back" (they were down 15 at that point). FAIL.

And fugin Al Michael's had the audacity to brown nose him and say he is a all star replacement for Madden. PFFFFT on that poo.

Not sure if the refs saw the uppercut. I was watching the replay and it looked like, from the refs standpoint, that Woodson just pushed him away. Even though it was clear from the other side that he punched.

What about players who get ridiculous fines for hits that they were never even flagged for? Surely a personal foul could warrant a suspension afterwards.

The way I see it Goodell has to suspend him or he is condoning the behavior. A fine could work as well but we've seen what the players say about being fined and it not affecting their actions.
