If Fournette was in we'd have a touchdown by now.

Am I doing it right?

They say integrity is doing the right thing even when no one else is looking. It is also doing the right thing even if it costs you something. 

In this case you either discipline the guilty party or you don't. A free pass does nothing except tell that person and everyone else that the rules don't really matter, or they only matter when applied to this person or in that situation. In that case you have nothing. 

So you guys keep whining if you want to, I am glad Coughlin and Marrone have shown integrity here. Lessons will be learned from this. No one (in this case Fournette) and no circumstance (winning a game at the expense of bending the rules) is above the rules.

So he skipped a training session, and a team workout! Little worse than a photo.

---

I the question we need to ask isn’t “should he be dropped for breaking team rules?”

The question is “should the punishment for missing a team photo and some medical appointments mean you are dropped?”

I think a lot of people would feel that’s a self-defeating over-reaction and some common sense should have been used.

Probably would still have the ball anyway.

Where the heck is 4nette?

---

he got suspended for missing a team meeting? ouchQ

---

He didnt follow rules so don't play. That's fine with me. My child doesn't listen he's grounded. Too bad not to many parents who disapline kids around here.

Ugh this is rough, hope he learned his lesson and we move on next week.

This is the NFL, not your backyard. You fine players not ground them.

Exactly.

Why the hell is Ramsey is ejected? These refs should be suspended for the rest of the year.

1 day. I'm fine with whatever they want to fine him, that's how we do it in the adult leagues.

Hard nosed team, hard nosed coach.

Generals have been known to execute a man just to get everyone focused.

Hey if you’re going to have rules you have to enforce them.

This decision would’ve been in Fournettes favor had we lost. I’m very glad we won. its Important that our team doesn’t have the perception that we NEED a particular player to win.

---

Aaaand we won without him. Honestly I like that we know we can win without him and it gave other players the chance to make plays and it stressed the coaching staff to deal with losing a major player right before a game and to adjust accordingly. If y'all can't see the positives then I don't know what to tell you.

---

I'll admit I was frustrated by the benching. Glad to see that they didn't need him this time.

Hopefully this will be the last time we have to hear about this happening.

---

Well deserved. Respect the rules, or stay on the sideline watching your teammates having fun kicking the Bengals's [BLEEP].

Ivory deserves some credit for his good game today.
