yea but the poll asks what it SHOULD be, and I think using equipment as weapons in sports should set an example and put him in jail 6 months to a year. Assault with a weapon. Isn’t someone here a cop or retired cop? Would that charge hold up and be legit @Bonky
football field is sacred, men going at other mens throats for 60 minutes

what Myles did was way over the top as I stated many times, but bringing up criminal charges would unlock pandoras box and change the game.

As a flagship franchise the Steelers do not want to be that guy
 
Garrett should get the season (6 games)
#53 for Pitt should get 3-4 games for punching and kicking
Rudolph may need a fine for the instigation. That could send more of a league message considering how often refs catch retaliatio

Pouncey shouldn't get any punishment. Maybe a wink and nod "fine" but he shouldn't get suspended.

Many agree with you, but he will miss time.

Im sure the league doesnt want any participants of the brawl available for their rematch in a couple weeks
 
Can you imagine the damage that would have caused if it would have been a direct hit? People die from stuff like that.
 
Anyone know if there was any damage to Rudolph's noggin'?

I wonder if they tested him for a concussion after?
 
What Garrett did is unacceptable and cannot be justified by any means. He deserves 6 game suspension.

However, if I understand it correctly, the Steelers QB committed the first personal foul by grabbing and twisting Garrett's facemask in the pile. Then DeCastro and Pouncy came in as things were escalating and started grabbing and shoving Garrett.

My point is that there is a reason that Garrett doesn't have a history this sort of thing. He knows he lost it, knows that is unacceptable. But the Steelers shouldn't be coming off like Garrett wasn't provoked by Rudolph to begin with and that DeCastro and Pouncy are blameless in the escalation of the situation. Without the two of their behavior, no way this escalates into what Garrett did.

I counted 2 punches and a kick from him.
Absolutely should be suspended. Retaliation is not grounds for game on trying to fight.
 
I think what Haynesworth did was worse, he stomped on a guy's uncovered face with his cleats. But this is a softer era.

eh, this was a helmet coming down on a dude's head, could've caused spinal injury

bit worse than a cut face
 
Worth pointing out Larry Ogunjobi is a punk for leveling Rudolph from behind when he had no helmet on, hope he gets suspended a while too

Steelers in general also have a long history of being the cheap-shot dirtiest team in the league.
That’s a separate issue but I think tomlin absolutely encourages that crap.
 
There is good video at around the 6:30 mark. I dont see Rudolph doing anything to cause that. Myles was roughing him up on the ground and that alone should have been a personal foul, then grabs him by the facemask as he is getting up.

And from that angle (which is pretty clear) there was no nut kick. Looks like he was using his foot to push Myles off of him.
