Yep, football is dangerous.

I'd take DT on my team any day.

 

[Great Dayne]

200 k fine and suspended for 3 games.

 

[Breed]

Yes, that was unfortunate, but Danny T is a thumper and DaVante ended up thumped. They will unjuestly fine Danny T and he and the NFLPA will accept while offering some meek resistance and on down the rabbit hole we go.

In before @NEhomer says this is just another excuse for Rodgers.

If DT put that shot on Crowder, your tune would be very different, trust me.

Unjustly? How in God's name do you figure THAT out? Dirty hit plain and simple, and was supposed to have been an automatic ejection for being blatant.

Excuse for what? Soundly whipping the Bearz once again?

"That's a back-breaker for Chicago..."

Thanks Tony

As Bear's fan, the play is 100% disgusting. Trevathan is deserving of a suspension.

Saw the play live. Still trying to figure out how/why he wasn't ejected.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

In his presser he tried explaing he was just trying to finish the play. Look dude you went straight in head first. When will these players start using their shoulders and wrapping up and tackling? If the NFL is serious about these flagrant hits and safety they need to start suspending these hits four games.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

I’m fairly certain the league could (and should) suspend his ass for 6 games and the NFLPA wouldn’t file an injunction anywhere for that.

Disgusting.

Disgusting.

6 and then reduced to 3. We already know the NFL is a joke when handing down punishments. I hate lawyers and unions.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Adams wasnt exactly being classy all game. He was getting into it with different bears all game. It looked like a shut your damn mouth hit, and it worked. Not saying that I agree with it, but it happens. If it happened to any team in the nfl, I'm glad it was the packers.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

Danny Trevathan needs to be suspended for dirty hit on Davante Adams

Reports are he's doing well.

Nowhere the joke that the NHL is but you're probably right.

NFL should use its new rule to suspend Danny Trevathan

During the offseason, the NFL competition committee announced that certain illegal hits, previously punishable by a 15-yard penalty, would be subject to immediate ejection and/or suspension on first offense. At the time, NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent said the league wants to eliminate hits that he termed "catastrophic" by employing the maximum level of deterrence.

It's hard to find a better word to describe what Trevathan did in the third quarter Thursday night. Multiple Bears defenders had Adams wrapped up inside the red zone when Trevathan lowered his head and hit the front of Adams' face hard enough to send his mouthpiece flying. It was both an illegal hit and an exceptionally dirty one, considering Adams was no longer making forward progress.

Referee John Hussey issued a 15-yard penalty for what he called a "hit to the head." More specifically, he probably meant an illegal hit with the crown of the helmet. Regardless, Hussey should receive strong NFL scrutiny for his failure to eject Trevathan on the spot.

Thursday's dark episode is precisely what the NFL was trying to address with its offseason initiative. I would be stunned if Trevathan is eligible to play in the Bears' next game, scheduled for Oct. 9 against the Minnesota Vikings.
