OT: NFL 2019

I did, and I'm glad I did.

The 49'ers kicker has to be kicking himself for shanking that field goal that would have won the game.

Very good.

Meyers, the Seahawks kicker, missed two FGs shorter than that last week, as well as an extra point. He just about missed the game winner.

Monday Night Football was a staple for me for decades. Kind of gotten away from it. Glad that I watched last night. Now if they could just get rid of Thursday night football. Short week, bad games for the most part, higher risk of injuries.

I agree. I never understood why MNF went to cable, where I never see it. Get rid of TNF and put MNF back on network TV. If ABC doesn't want it I am sure FOX would love to have it.

More than just Garret, also the Pittsburgh player who was kicking Cleveland players in the head. Maybe they should institute NBA rules and anyone who left the bench should get a game suspension? Well, if that were the case Pittsburgh would have about 10 players next week though.

It's one thing to whack a guy with your helmet, but to whack a guy with his own helmet? That's just mean.

Yeah, and then give him a wedgie!

Garrett gets an indefinite ban which is for rest of season at minimum, Pouncy (Pittsburgh) 3 games, and Ogunjobi gets one game. All three players also to be fined and both teams fined $250k The door is open for more especially for players that left the bench. Rudolph may also get something for attempting to rip the helmet off Garrett before Garrett's actions for attempting to rip the helmet of Garrett and kicking him in the groin.

At least no one went up into the stands like the melee in Detroit several years ago in the NBA. The longest NFL suspension before this is when Hanysworth ripped the helmet off the Dallas center before punching and kicking him. I think the punishment fair, as it is akin to hockey players using their sticks in fights and should be more than Haynsworth's 5 games.

You touch a QB and they throw a penalty. You whack a QB with his own helmet, they're going to roll out the firing squad.

Man, Pouncey was going to curb-stomp Garrett...

What I hope doesn't get lost due to the fight, the helmet to helmet hit on a defenseless receiver earlier in the game. There could be a fine for it too, but I hope it isn't forgotten as the player was ejected.

This melee is one of the lowest moments in NFL history. I watched the video below, which is littered with ads, but I really enjoyed the interviews.

Rudolph hasn't received any punishment yet, but he kicked Garrett in the groin and tried to pull his helmet off. While that doesn't make up for Garrett's reaction, it's what started this mess. After listening to the interviews, I was stunned at how Garrett seems like a perfectly nice man, who genuinely regrets his actions.

I think the suspensions handed down so far are appropriate, but Rudolph should at least get a hefty fine, and preferably a suspension.
