    BJ Finney step right up

    Garrett suspended indefinitely AKA rest of this season

    That is a little ridiculous for Pouncey. I could understand him getting one game. But three? For protecting his QB who just got assaulted? Nah

    the kick probably got him an extra game or two.. whatever.. well justified. this season's going nowhere anyhow. tbh, the entire roster should have been going after Garrett at that point.

    Best comment I saw: Letting Rudolph play is more punishment to the Steelers, than not letting him play.

    I think POuncey should and will appeal.. I think when all is said and done he gets 2 games.. one for the punching and kicking and one for playing as bad as he did last night..
    But I do respect him and glad he stepped up and protected (as much as he could) his QB... Decastro really didn't do much but push him to the grown...kind of..

    I am glad Pouncey came to Rudolph's defense but he should have stopped prior to trying to kick a downed player in the head. At that point you are getting revenge, not protecting your QB.

    I think Decastro was trying to defuse the situation and keep Garret on the ground more than giving him the business.

    I don’t like it, but I get it. At some point Pouncey went past the point of defending his QB and into an attack on Garrett. The NFL can never send the message that it’s OK to attack an opposing player - no matter what he’s done to deserve it. I can just see the decision makers in the room watching the film, and secretly cheering Pouncey on, but saying “yeah, but we’ve got to do this even though Garrett had it coming.”

    I think the kicks are what sealed it. Pouncey was justified in reacting and defending MR but it crossed a line at that point. The league had to do something to make a point.

    The entire world was watching the NFL and waiting to judge how they handled this incident.

    The punishment for Pouncey seems right considering the kick to the head alone.

    Not that I'm criticizing Pouncey. At. All.

    He also may have received 3 games so if he appeals, it goes to 2 games - but he still isn't playing against the Browns again. ;)

    Sitting here at work in my Pouncey jersey and if the 3 games are upheld then it is 3 games well earned. I love what Pouncey did

    I agree. With that said, i'm surprised at 3 games. I thought 1-2 games. I didn't think the punches were worthy of a suspension at all, so I figured the 1-2 games would be due to the kick. I think 3 games is a tad too much and can see it being reduced on appeal, but at the same time, I get why the league did it

    Yes there’s definitely a point where self-defense are defending another crosses the line into retaliation. With that said I’m fine with what Pouncey did.

    He may be able to appeal it and get it reduced to two games

    More than I was expecting, but I guess I'm not surprised.

    I think that is the point with that suspension. To keep him out of the Browns game.

    I'm actually not mad about this, for a completely different reason. Pouncey had played like crap this year. I don't know what is up with him but he can't even snap the ball consistently. Maybe Finney will play better.

    I wish Pouncey would have connected more with the kick to the head, Garrett is a dirty player (not his first incident).
