Forge Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Quote The Seahawks can be fined up to $150,000, although it's unclear what their penalty will be. That seems like a surprisingly light penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I think the penalties are specifically set out in the protocols. This is the fine for a first violation and it goes up for subsequent violations.

Brady, who knows but there isn't any evidence he had one so you can't punish hi...what am I saying? This is the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only being punished because the media caught on to it when it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyBradwater Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm not sure I see Wilson getting punished for this. It's on the team to tell him that he needs to sit out, and force him to if necessary. I also see the league coming down hard on the Seahawks. It feels like we get a story every 6 months about the Seahawks violating the rules, and the league will need to be harsh to get Pete to stop thinking he can ignore the rules all the time.

B) Brady's wife makes an offhand comment on a morning TV show months after the season is over. NFL Spokesman Brian McCarthy Quote The NFL and NFLPA have conducted comprehensive evaluations of the Concussion Protocol as it applied to Tom Brady during the 2016-17 season. This review included an examination of all game film from every Patriots’ game last season, every report from the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultants and Booth ATC Spotters assigned to those games and Mr. Brady’s medical records, which were produced pursuant to a release signed by Mr. Brady. This review identified no evidence of any deviation from the Protocol by the Patriots’ medical staff or the Unaffiliated Neurotrauma Consultants assigned to Patriots’ games or any indication that Mr. Brady sustained a concussion or reported signs or symptoms consistent with having sustained a concussion. We appreciate the cooperation of the Patriots’ medical staff in conducting this review. But yeah, definitely the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Think something will happen. Probably a fine, Wilson won't get suspended IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see what the NFL does, for sure. If it is just that monetary penalty, it will be interesting to see if other teams "forget" about the concussion protocol because that's even less than a slap on the wrist, tbh.

B) We see on a nationally televised TNF that they skip the protocol after the official sends him off the field to go through it. Not even close to the same thing.

Jakuvious Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yeah, the violation has nothing to do with whether or not Wilson had a concussion or not. It's purely in regards to whether or not the team and player followed the protocol or not. That's the difference between this and Brady. They were supposed to go through the protocol here and didn't. Even if it was just to clear him to play, that's still important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Oh no a player lied about an injury...It's not like every single player hasn't done that before. This is a non-issue but the seahawks should get fined/lose a draft pick because the NFL has to keep up the appearance they "Care" about player safety. Not because it's the right thing to do, to act like they're doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcurtain29 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Sadly, they won't do much. If the league truly cared, they'd suspend Wilson and would massive punish the league. Players can't be filing lawsuits over head injuries then act like they're a papercut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
