Steelers @ Browns...Round 1

Jussie was here.

As Bengals fan

1. Glad we weren't involved for once.

2. Pouncey should be gone the rest of the season. 5 or 6 punches and a soccer style kick to the head.

3. Garrett should obviously be gone for the year.

4. Rudolph should get at least 3 games.  

Rudolph should be banished to where he belongs....the XFL.

Bring on Duck!

I would say 3 games for Garret (after all he hit him with the padded end of the helmet); 2 games for Pouncey (punching is ok, but kicking is out); and 2 games for Rudolph (for instigating and a kick to the nuts).  That way they all three miss the rematch in Pittsburgh in two weeks, and all without pay.  It’s a rough sport, let’s not go completely overboard, we have pussified enough of everything else.

Swinging a helmet at someone's unprotected head has nothing to do with the sport being rough. It's psychotic.

The "legal" action aspect is stupid though. He got punished, leave it at that.

As a baseball guy and a StatCast fan I want to know the speed at which Garret hit Rudolph and was it with more force than any of Rudolph’s 8 tackles

I don’t remember what I was trying to type but it was not “buff”

I meant buff like this: 

A buff is someone who has a strong, special interest in something. For example, someone who loves jazz music is a jazz buff. Someone who is deeply interested in the American Civil War is a Civil War buff.

Like YOU are a sport buff.

I just counted 20 different posters on this thread.

Totally agree, unfortunately.  But.....it happened and posters who don't post much wanted to post.  So that's a good thing.

BTW, I'm a stat buff.

It’s the only thing on twitter and FB too, whole Sportscenter. The overreaction to everything sucks and this one is bad. Everyone has their opinion but Jesus there are dumb ducks out there that believe Rudolph deserved it and there are other dumb fucks that believe Rudolph did nothing and people showing receivers swinging punches with their helmet on saying it’s the same.

It looked bad and it was bad and everyone except Rudolph and NFL has handled it very well once the smoke cleared.

My biggest beef is that Rudolph's skating by and most Steeler "fans" on social media (I'm sure not any of you Steeler guys on here, as you seem sensible) crying about how the Browns are "dirty." Apparently they have selective memory over the Browns punter getting cleated by AB, Harrison knocking out 3 Browns players with helmet to helmets (ending one's career),a morbidly obese QB hitting one of the Browns DL in the nuts (not Rudolph, separate incident) and a HC who tried to trip an opposing player on a return. 

No doubt the Browns were head hunting. I’m not crying about it. They’ve been getting beat on for decades. I like seeing some spice back in the “rivalry.”
