It’s not the league - its the NFLPA. Like it or not, they’re going to fight whatever the league does and the league knows it. If the league comes out with a moderate punishment, push back will be light. Punish for a season - NFLPA will go bananas because of the precedent set (1 season for 1 on-field incident, no matter how egregious).Garrett should be done for the season with no pay. Hell he should be done a full 16 games so part of next season as well. The league is pure chckn sht though so they wont do it.
How quickly y’all forget. This fight featured body slams, head stomps, helmet swings, etc. Major difference was Garrett did his deed in isolation instead of in the midst of a melee.
That’s the one swing we can see. No telling what else happened. Point being, this is really bad but we’ve seen other, similar versions of really bad in the recent past.Yeah but the guy swinging his helmet was using his own and I’m pretty sure hitting guys who had helmets on.

They have to at least set a precedent that you can’t stomp on a guy’s head, retribution or not. I don’t blame him one bit, f*ck Garrett, but the NFL has to nip it in the bud.

I don’t agree. I think if somebody takes off a helmet and whacks your QB in the head, you can beat his ass.
It doesn’t have to be the same punishment across-the-board. I think you can take each situation into consideration. I think they should just fine him.
At least gonna get one game?Garrett should be done for the last 6 games of the season, the head stomping isn't Haynesworth level (4 game suspension) but it's at least gonna get one game especially because the ejection was with 8 seconds left in the game.

Twitter all upset that the instigating QB not suspended.
The quarterback instigated Garrett into taking off a helmet and bashing it into his head?
