Considering it's Roger Godhell handing out the punishment I was fully expecting a minimum of three games out with a suspension. I don't think an appeal will help much. Godhell is judge, jury and executioner. He'll never reduce the suspension. He hates our small market team and coach too much to back track

Not since he latest CBA ...

"If a player protests a ruling, he schedules a hearing with the NFL, and his case is assigned to one of the league’s current appeals officers, Derrick Brooks or James Thrash, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA. Cases are assigned randomly, so neither side in the appeals process knows who will hear a case. The officer assigned to the case reviews the play and hears the league’s case and the player’s defense. The officer’s decision is final, and the ruling is binding."

Edit: Nevermind ... that is for "on field punishments".
