Justified fine but last year earl Thomas didn't get anything for his helmet hit on Mr.Rednose. The fine system is flawed so until our boy the "rog" retires,.......... Nothing will change.

Thanks Justin for the write up, I'd missed this bit of news had you not.

The fine $ system is collectively bargained Drink. It’s only changing if the union allows it. What should be used is a strike system per season. After 2 strikes, 1 game suspension, 3rd strike....3 game suspension, etc. Tolling suspensions for the players who have a habit of doing it. (Suh, Burfict, Thomas, etc.)

Losing game checks gets players attention.

The similar call against the Steelers was a ****** joke. It was a gator roll that started in the field of play. I guess laws of physics should have been avoided.

I hear you IKE but I was more referring to how the "rog" controls how a game is called and how heavy the penalties are. There is a review board on the finess as you said but the rog influences that board. Just saying.

I know it's not a perfect system and you may have hit the nail on the head by using a strike system, money or taken money talks and some of these players don't listen unless their pockets are hit. The NFL will never hire an independent board of review. ALL things are internal or football influenced and no other than the "rog" has the greatest influence.

game suspensions...that is when you will see change. It isn't just the loss of check, but sitting at home and watching knowing you are letting down your team.
