I just saw the video of that altercation. Brutal assault by Green. I guess the refs ejected Ramsey since he pushed first which led to the assault. That's the only thing I can think of. I think it would have only been a flag on Ramsey if it had not escalated.

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.
I agree completely, this was big for the long term culture of the team. Gus would have dropped the ball on this and let it slide. We saw how that turned out.

All that and, it’s a long long season, and Fournette just got an extra game of rest.  So there’s that also.

Back to back games without Fournette and back to back games Bortles plays well. Coincidence?

Hard to believe anyone objected to Marrone's action, especially from a few who regularly criticized Gus Bradley for being soft.

This was all Marrone, not Coughlin, and my guess is he earned respect from his team, including Fournette.

Team's are better in the long run when leaders do the right thing. Respect for Marrone here.

Love the message they sent to Fournette and the team. Message Sent, Tom and Doug don't play. This was the best call of the day imo

Even better that we won because now Fournette also saw we can win without him so it will knock him down a peg (if that was his issue)

I think our offense did pretty well. 

Bortles was 24/38 for 259 yards and one TD. And NO interceptions.

149 rushing yards.

Average gain per offensive play was 5.2 yards.

Time of possession 40:14.

Best of all- we won. We won without Fournette and losing Ramsay for half a game. I live out of market too, but I am never not going to watch a game just because of one player, especially one who chose to let his team down and force the coach to sit him.

It was what Vic would call a baby seal clubbing. The Jaguars have 5 baby seal clubbing belt notches this season.

This is a bush league move.

That 7 year old learned that rules matter, and no one member is more important than the team.

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

In the adult league, adults are treated like adults. They break rules, they suffer the consequences.

Doug Marrone scored points with his team, and the snowflakes melt.

Maybe they miss the sprinkles.

Marrone killed two birds with one stone. He had ulterior motives for this one game suspension. This was also a warning shot for Marcell Dareus who has a reputation for being a slacker and a scofflaw. Both he and LF learned that homie don't play.
