40 plus grand for this. I am sure Mr. Bloom approves.

Seriously though, doesn't compare to this, and the other one, that took 1/9th of Warren's salary.

One guy protects QB's, the guy that fines protects pencils.

Need to find a different view of the first one. Can't make out anything there. Second one warren should not be launching his helmet into Donald's chest.

"Launching". 50 grand for that is a joke. Donald moved last second, he's adjusting in real time, it's fractions of a second. The NFL is not doing this right. If you agree with fines like that, please don't ever say you side with the players. Players certainly don't agree with most of these. He's a UDFA who is having a large portion of his salary taken away for something that simply isn't egregious at all.

If the players don’t agree then they should change professions. Lowering the head and striking with the crown is flat out dangerous play - both to the attacker and the attacked. The players know it - because they’ve had to watch safety films from Pop Warner on about it, the league knows it, and the NFLPA knows it, It sickens me when the Union defends players who engage in willfully dangerous play. In the olden days the rule for good tackling was “watch your facemask go though the numbers”. Thankfully that’s gone and now tackling is being taught with putting the facemask on the opposite hip pad, or as I always preferred, putting the facemask through the football.

No one wants to see any player carried off unmoving on a stretcher, and we sure don’t want to see someone die on the field. It’s their profession. They know the rules and they know proper technique, and they’ve known both for a long time. If they are that careless with other players’ health and livelihoods as well as their own, they can either learn by incrementally more severe fines up to suspensions and then expulsion, or they can quit and find another way to make a living.

Yes, I’m passionate about this. This was always one of my lines that you don’t cross and my guys knew it.

It’s no different than the safety rules and regulations (and consequences) of any other profession. Take construction for example. OSHA is there to try to protect idiots from themselves. Take enough shortcuts, and you will eventually get caught and hit by some big monetary fines…or your remains will be shoveled off the sidewalk and put into the back of an ambulance.

Guess Pop Douglas is done for the day. Fumbled the football on a KR. That puts him on Belicheck’s bench.

Nope out there and 3 catches now.

[Bronco Billy]

Looks like Baker got hurt. Return status unknown.

Looks like he’s back in.

[Bronco Billy]

Shaheed just got tweaked. Looks like an ankle and he’s in serious pain on the bench.

Headed to the LR but walking there at least

[abloom]

Carr finally told to throw to Olave

Drive the Carr to the Olave garden!

Woot Woot!

Ridder can’t read a D to save his life. Has no idea that the D is showing that the designed run is outmanned at the PoA and doesn’t audible out so the play is dead before the ball is even snapped. Sheesh.

And now near the GL misses a 5 yd pass to Bijan so badly the Bijan can’t even reach it to touch it and it gets picked easily.

Falcons players look just disgusted walking off for the half.

Last minute decision to keep Mac Jones at QB looks horrendous at thus point. Zappe has to start Q3...

[alewilliam789]

Pretty inexplicable that Jonathan Taylor has l4 carries when Minshew has looked erratic and he’s run the ball really well.

I don't know, losing to the giants seems like a smart move for the pats

Yeah, Jones’ level of regression is disturbing. Don’t know if it’s predominately on him or on Belicheck or some of both.

[Bronco Billy]

Zappe 6/6 on his first drive in Q3 ends in a TD.

[Bronco Billy]

Olave came down hard on a high throw. Shaken up.

lol can’t make that crap up.
