I call BS. He didn’t get arrested or fail a drug test.

No crap. I expect that to be appealed.

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".

I think this was expected and as stated previously will definitely be appealed.

Agree on BS. It was a damn citation for crying out loud. Some of these rules are downright draconian.
Guarantee whoever signed off on the suspension has had a twirled old Mary Jane around the dance floor a time or two.

One game is huge.

Since the game he missing is against a AFc team, I wouldn't mind if he bite the bullet and take the suspension.
