Sendejo receives 1-game suspension...

what?  Was it really that bad? 

I call BS. It was an awkward angle that caused the helmet to come off. 

More NFL bullshit.  Refs absolutely suck and they suspend players for playing hard.  He was trying to jar the ball loose, guess that's not allowed in today's NFL either.

If he gets up or goes to sideline, nothing happens...but he acts like a QB
after getting hit, goes fetal position, calls out Sendejo...sucks his thumb and cries to mommy

Fuck the NFL.  I am cancelling my directv next year and streaming from now on.  

No more money to these assholes.  

WTF?  Is burfset or however its spelled going to recieve a year suspension?

IMO...  It was "similar" to the Trevathon hit on Davante Adams...  WR "wrapped up" but starts going to the ground right before the defender hits him.

I think it's bogus...  Trevathon successfully got his 2-gamer reduced to 1 game.  Maybe Sendejo wins his appeal and just gets a fine?

Zimmer disagrees with refs.

It is CYA by the league. Nothing more.

They are trying to take away the focus from how much the refs suck with this one. Straight up bs. 

Anyone wonder if it's actually retribution against the team for Rodgers? I suppose that sounds pretty paranoid.

they should watch all the tape of him lighting up his own teammates lol, they would see its unintentional on his part

You can't judge these plays in slow motion IMO. 

Things are so fast / bang, bang....but no...slow it down so it takes five minutes for Barr to hit Rodgers, or for Sendejo to hit Wallace, and everyone cries foul.

if you don't want to get hit, go down or step out of bounds...if you fight for more yards...you're gonna get cracked. 

I think it boils down to the term "necessary "  the ball carrier was stopped and sendejo came in for the kill shot.  The game is evolving in the name of player safety and the players have to learn how to play at a high level without taking those shots.

From what I saw, Zendejo was going for the ball; and- he was successful: he knocked it out of Wallace's hands.  Wallace didn't magically drop the ball from getting hit in the head.  Z knocked it out... which means that he couldn't- simultaneously- be trying to hit Wallace in the head.

Player safety is a serious concern, but the nature of the sport is violent, dangerous, and will probably wreck your later years. You can't escape that. Suspending Sendejo for a game is  PR move to show they care.

This league is run by short-sighted retards. 

I think the league will do anything they can to try and. keep greenery in contention so we better get use to the bs calls this year

this was a bad callby the nfl for sure there was no intent to harm on his part
