Bengal Maniac Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I read an article on this last night from cbs sports that predicted this. It states usually would take into account if a player was ejected or not. Stating if a player is ejected that the NFL looks as that as also missed game time and may be more lenient on a suspension or not since they already missed some of a game due to the ejection. At the same time it's why the article predicted Evans could be suspended since he didn't get kicked out of the game and have to miss game time. My guess this is exactly why the NFL went this way with its actions. Plus considering Green has had no previous problems, what the refs said, and what maybe they looked back at on video. They may have viewed missing half a game and a fine was a fair punishment. I'll try to find the article because it ended up being pretty spot on with what the NFL ended up doing. This makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reasoning seems bizarre to me. Do something egregious enough to merit an ejection and the "games missed penalty" is more lenient than if you didn't get ejected?

But if I suspended a student from school for 3 days for fighting and he/she left at 9:30 that was the first day. If it was a one day suspension, that was the day.

GrizzlyAdams Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 First off, I'm super happy he will play against the Titans. I need him to go off and torch them. All that aside, the fact that he isnt suspended is absurd. Take off the orange colored glasses for one moment and think about it. AJ Green got behind Ramsey, put him in a choke hold and slammed him on the ground. He proceeded to throw 3 punches at his head. The NFL is saying there is no repercussions from that other than a small fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggclfan Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 He should be suspended for sheer stupidity. Why on earth do players punch guys wearing helmets? I have never understood this. When you throw a punch, you know you will get kicked out AND you may break your hand/finger...as stupid as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What if OBJ did this? Media would crucify him. Definitely would have gotten suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurecoach Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What if OBJ did this? Media would crucify him. Definitely would have gotten suspended. Agreed but also would be his 2nd or 3rd time involved in something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Am I the only one that loved what AJ did? Now AJ totally lost his cool, and probably deserves a suspension, but I love the fact that AJ stood up for himself and pretty much told the punk CB that he ain't taking his cheap shots anymore. I love the fight and emotions I saw out of Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRCW Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Now every CB will get in his head. Nah he'll be fine. He's handled playing for the Bengals for 7 years without snapping prior to Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don't believe the take down deserved a suspension, but the second punches were thrown, that should have sealed his fate. Him and Evans both deserved at least one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
