Will Aaron Donald Get Suspended?

[jetplt67]

He will get fined, but suspended, no way.

Come on Donald!!!....................He put his helmet on before he went out there.

A real man wouldn't put his helmet on! :rolllaugh:
John Wayne would be ashamed of you Donald. :boxing:

 

[socalrams90]

No way they suspend him with the mega MNF game coming up.

 

[Ramzheart]

I don't know,very concerned about that, not very happy with his behavior, I love the guy and understand being ticked at the dirty ass pigeons but you gotta just let your play do the talking

Yeah very disappointing after his big payday! He kind of reminded me of some of Suh's past behavior.
I thought the mantra was
We not me!

 

[CanRamFan]

maybe it's the hockey fan in me but I really don't see anything particularly wrong with what he did (stuff like this happens after every whistle in hockey). If he wanted to start a fight he would have started a fight. He was obviously just letting him know that what he did was wrong and trying to embarrass him. The pearl clutching about how awful and stupid this was seems a l ittle over the top considering what we see every single Sunday.

I agree. I'd like to see football go back to it's rougher ways. It's getting so ridiculous, like a non-contact, contact sport. Same goes for hockey. These are all grown men, let them go at it.

Justin Britt better get an equal or greater fine, if player safety is the NFL's priority. AD was so far out of bounds and that hit was completely unnecessary. It would be one thing if Britt had bumped him on sheer momentum after trying to pull up, but what he did was completely intentional and was in a situation where there was plenty of time for him to try to pull up.

 

[Big Game]

Nobody's gonna suspend Donald right before we play the Chiefs in what they have panned as one of the biggest games of the year.

The Seahawks players were trolling the Rams fans and team in general. There was one instance after the Squawks had scored, their players ran around high-fiving their fans. But apparently there were more Rams fans there (like 98%) to the Squawks (2% fan base), their attempt to mock the Rams "Whose House" failed. The noise from Rams fans screaming back was deafening.

There were a lot of trash talking done by the Squaks OL. I was not surprised when AD almost crushed the Russell Wilson when the Hawks were near the endzone and RW had to threw the ball away resulting in a FG for the Squawks.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

/ thread.

The incident was not on the live television feed so little to no chance there will be a suspension. POSSIBLY if it happened during the live game broadcast.

 

[Raptorman]

As someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight, here's the problem. Donald put his helmet on and went straight for him. Contact then ensued. It would not surprise me if he was suspended for one game. And the NFL don't care who you play next.

 

[Ramstien]

I like seeing our guys not letting these cheep shot dirty Seachickens push them around and now are the more physical team, which I like.

 

[HitStick]

Never understood players that get angry when they recieve an extra bump, push or hit after the play is over on the field or when they're out of bounds. Obviously this is a contact sport and hitting is involved, but you're wearig pads and other gear anyway and stuff happens. I never got mad when I played and that happened. Just look for the guy the next play and beat 'em.

Okay obviously if the guy is riding me into the stadium wall like they do the turnbuckle in pro wrestling that would get me ticked, but these are just simple hits or pushes that last a few seconds. Like Dryer said in a past interview "sometimes in football you end up on your ass."

I was shocked at his initial reaction, even more so at going after the guy when the game was over. Not "act like you've been there" but act like you won.

Donald plays angry, and I can guarantee you that it wasn’t just the late hit out of bounds. Britt was probably playing dirty all game long, because he has to, because he can’t guard AD. The late hit was just the tipping point.

 

[MTRamsFan]

This was after the game, and no punches were thrown, just some light head butting and trash talk. If he gets fines/suspended for this, I will lose my own sh*t. I'm sure the league will relay to the Rams to keep him under control going forward.

By the way, if a guy drilled me out of bounds well after the play was over, I'd react the same way as AD. Britt is a piece of dog sh*t. He is a mediocre player and AD has owed him since he started playing for the Rams... and he will continue to own him going forward.

 

[RamWoodie]

To suspend AD would be DUMB...to fine him would be appropriate!

All the guy was doing was continuing to play because he heard no whistle ending the play.

If anyone is suspended it would be the Seattle player pushing AD when he was well out of bounds!

He grabbed his face mask and yanked it pretty good though. That's what will draw the fine if there is one.

That play was a lucky break for SEA. No intentional grounding call and if Donald didn't retaliate it would have been a 15 yarder on SEA because the flag was already on the ground for the late hit.

I don't know why the refs didn't whistle the play dead right away.

 

[Selassie I]

I know one thing for certain...

The sight of AD marching out on the field like that would put major concern into the head of any person on this planet. That is ONE BAD MAN.

I'm glad he's a Ram... all other teams in the NFL hate it.

Edit: IMO, since no refs were involved, it's a moot point other than to send out a "stern warning" to AD and the Rams. I've seen where coaches went after each other, at the end of a game, and had to be separated, yet nothing ever done by the league regarding fines. I will be shocked if a fine is levied. It's just boys being boys!

The interesting thing about the "no grounding" call was Wilson threw the ball to the opposite side of where the receiver was standing, which seems to be a very technical view by the officials. IMO, a ball should be thrown in the general direction, to avoid grounding, but in this case the refs felt as long as it was in the same stadium, it wasn't grounding.

 

[Steve808]

Can anyone tell me how that play in question wasn't intentional grounding on Wilson if the ball was ruled incomplete?

 

[Liberator]

I'm all for protecting people with head shots, helmet to helmet and other dirty hits. That said, grabbing a guys facemask and talking trash is not "starting a fight" and it isn't a suspendable act at all lol.

 

[yrba1]

Doubt it, NFL cares about ratings first and foremost. Suspending Donald in a primetime game is a recipe for turning off most neutrals.

Similar to the Hekker FG fake being called short last week, the answer is no.
