Garrett is done for the year. Not sure if they'll extend into next year's regular season but I think they should. Skip Bayless made a good point along with Shannon Sharpe about possibly carrying it into at least the season opener of 2020 to remind the rest of the NFL that it's not tolerable behavior at any level. Especially in the NFL.

Pouncey getting three games for essentially defending his QB seems a little steep. Any offensive lineman should react that way in regards to their QB. Throwing a few punches and a kick on Garrett there seems fair. I would give him just a 1 game suspension there. Not 3. . .

That other guy that shoved Rudolph down from behind like a punk should honestly get at least 2. . . pretty cowardly.

The fines for both teams seems weak. $250K is a fart in the wind for those owners. I would fine Garrett over $1M for this [BLEEP] too. Just to make a point. Rudolph absolutely should face a hefty fine as well. He DID try to take Garrett's helmet off. And I understand it was a long game for him back there. He was getting whacked left and right throughout the night. But he DID instigate that [BLEEP]. I would say a $750K fine is fair there in his case. I wouldn't have made either team pay a fine though. Make the players pay. . .

Rudolph kept pursuing and attacking...at the time he was hit... three Pittsburgh players and one  browns player Garrett were in the mix....if Rudolph didn't continue to attack.... their would have been no reason to have to defend him....the Pittsburgh players should have been holding Rudolph back....but instead all went after Garrett....all I'm saying if Rudolph didn't try to tear off Garrett's helmet.... Garrett wouldn't have torn off Rudolph's....if Rudolph didn't keep going after Garrett he wouldn't have gotten hit by Garrett... correct....it's not like Garrett just happened to rip off his helmet and started beating him for no reason.... Rudolph deserves a suspended also no doubt...he was in fact no doubt instigated it and kept it going
