Nice...

Gomes isn't afraid to smack a guy in the mouth, maybe MNF will be his real debut.

I have a hard time believing there's no "consensus" opinion at this point, and probably months ago, among the specialists. This is the kind of thing I wish was more public. Has he been told the surgery is the best option but still refused? I think in those albeit rare cases salary should be forfeited and added back to cap space.

That's encouraging. It was thrilling to see how Garcon played against Dallas. His toe injury has probably gotten a little better.

Fined only 30K for this, while he ended the dude's season? That should have drawn a suspension to say the least.

Ross Tucker was talking about this hit this morning on Sirius and made, what I thought, were two good points:

1) suspension/fines have to be based on intent/action, not on what the opponent's condition is, because a legal hit can often have be just as damaging- he expressed it more clearly

2) Jared Allen may not really have ever had the new rules clearly explained - certainly they wouldn't have drilled the new rules in, simply because his position group rarely deals with that specific style occurrence. How many times do defensive lines practice INT return drills?

Reminds me of the Clifton/Warren Sapp hit. Its cheap and should be a suspension. Goodell has no clue what he is doing, the model of inconsistency.

The intent here is to hurt. The launching of his body at the opponent's head. The forearm and extension upon impact. Not knowing or understanding the rules is no excuse at all. He hits people all the time. Had he done that to a QB, he knows he would have gotten at suspension for it.

1. Makes sense

2. I don't buy that at all

Hey, look here. Another future idiot trying to get into the NFL. I'll be surprised if he gets drafted at all.
