2013 NFC North/NFL Thread

[ChicosBailBonds]

The whole 49er team is on PEDs.

Their OT taunted him.

Don't forget the cheerleaders and the pubic relations department as well....all of them on PEDs

Chicos, I realize that this was in jest. 

But, would breast implants and plastic surfer be considered a PED or just the equivalent of weight lifting for the athletes?

[Dish]

Hell of a game so far.

It's been a good one, really thought the Pack were going to get beat soundly.

Not looking like a W, but happy with the results.

Clean up the penalties, looking at you Sitton, and they may be better than I thought.

I was hoping for a little redemption with a hail mary at the end.  Didn't work out.  Agreed though great game.

I assume you meant surgery and surfer?

I'd call breast implants performance enhancing....perhaps a drug for men, but not sure for the chicks.

Really didn't think Boldin had that much left in the tank.  I was misinformed.

Can't believe Baltimore didn't want to pay him and keep him. Great hands.

I'd say Mr. K looked pretty good.  A kid who had never thrown for 300 yards in a pro game throws for 400 yards is pretty impressive.

I wondered the other night if the Patriots were having the same resignations about Welker.

Surgery, surfer, don't they mean the same thing?

Good call on it being a PED for men instead.

[ChicosBailBonds]

I can't believe that bum on Denver Thursday night on the defense is going to cost me a win in both of my leagues.  #(&#@

[Dish]

Geez-us.

[MerrittsMustache]

So, who gets the harsher punishment from the NFL: Matthews or Suh?

Clay's action was worse but Suh's got quite a rap sheet built up. Should be interesting.

Both will get fined, neither will get suspended.


I would also not be surprised to see the Bears Maneri get fined for his hit on Burfict. (Even though it was legal.)

I believe that was the recently-released Kyle Adams who hit Burfict (after the INT, I assume is what you're referring to). Either way, that would be a tough, unwarranted fine but I wouldn't be surprised to see it.

[tower912]

Suh will get the larger fine, as a habitual offender.   If you take the play completely out of context, take Suh's jersey out of it, then you see that the call on the field was correct and it would merit a small fine at best.   Being Suh, with his history, the fine will be larger.   He's a smart guy.   He needs to learn to control that stuff.    I would like to see the debate comparing Calvin Johnson's catch being called incomplete vs Victor Cruz's catch being ruled a touchdown.

Yea my bad.  I thought it was Adams, but when I didn't see him on the depth chart I guessed Maneri.  I agree unwarranted, but the NFL likes to show people up.

[MerrittsMustache]

Suh fined $100 grand by the league. Don't think Clay's late clothesline is going to top that.

His punch/slap should

[Spotcheck Billy]

His punch/slap should

the team should fine him $100K for his stupidity alone

[MU B2002]

And then McCarthy should pay half for taking the 5 yarder that put them in that spot.

[Hards Alumni]

His punch/slap should

I don't see why.  Suh is a proven dirty player who has been fined by the league on multiple occasions.  Matthews?  Not even remotely close.

[forgetful]

His punch/slap should

I really don't see much there.  Staley runs in grabs Mathews around the collar/pads.  Matthews swings in a pushing motion to get him off.  Staley continues to hold on to the pads and push him around, Matthews keeps on trying to push him off.  Both are involved in a scuffle and should have been flagged.  If you fine Matthews, you have to fine Staley.  Nothing there amounts to a punch that would command a larger fine. 

The most eggregious punch in the ordeal was by Boldin, who ran in from about 30 yards away, when pushed turned and threw a closed fisted punch at one of the D-backs of GB.  Actually should have amounted to an ejection. 

I wouldn't be suprised to see a fine though as the NFL seems committed to make it appear as if the mistake didn't hurt GB, but rather was coupled to a second blown call.  They also came to the rescue last year in Seattle. 

[Jimmy B is the Man]

His punch/slap should

In that case Boldin should be fined too...
