General AFC North thread

What a dumbass result.   If this is what it is going to end up like then avoid this circus all together.     Either kick trash like Watson out of the league OR do nothing and throw the responsibility back on the justice system.    These half ass measures that Goodell has embarked on since 2007 is a clown show and hurts the league's reputation more.

What incredible back bone by the league.   They took a player they believe used his stature as a NFL player to sexually target women.  Goodell took a brave stand against evil and declared 6 games was not enough.    "Hey Rog,  what about 5 more games?"   Yep that makes it alright.

What the fuck?  

It also looks like Watson could be starting vs. Texans when he returns.   It also looks like each AFC North team will have 1 game with Watson.

Again,  there will always be a certain low percentage of dirt balls in this world that can play football really well.  If the NFL and NFLPA are not willing to take drastic steps to remove this from the player talent pool then don't address it all.

In the real world IF you are sexual predator found guilty you serve jail time and then have to register years afterward.    Watson just misses a handful of games and his employer attempted to structure his compensation to help him out.

The NFL should do 1 or 2 things.    Point to the US Criminal Justice system and/or take steps to have trash like this removed from the league. 

The problem is and has been for years is you have a bunch of lawyers and PR guys in the NFL league office that are completely reactionary and we see this EVERY facet of the game.

Look at the joke concussion protocol.   It would not be hard to instruct your refs to only flag blatantly obvious head hunting or use of head.   Then you take your technology after the game and review each snap and start assigning safety demerits or whatever.   When it reaches are certain level an escalation of warnings, fines, suspension, dismal is enacted.      Give a fast track for the Burficts of the world that blatantly try to injury and are successful. 

They are now in bed with gambling.  Eventually that's what this game will be about.   So you can't have the eye in the sky taking start taking players off the field during a game and expect the gambling crowd not to be outraged.  You can't have these horrible roughing the passer calls.
