Watt fined for punching at the ball

What Watt did was pretty excessive. Don't really have an issue with the fine. I don't think it was a dirty play by TJ, but he looked like a fighter going for the KO.

That's why he gets paid what he gets, he is our pitbull. Unnecessary roughness for hitting a ball, **** this bullshit...

It’s football Jitter. C’mon. He had no ill intention to injure anyone.

The rules are getting worse season by season and vary on a weekly basis.

He was punching at the ball, but im sure alot of those shots did not hit the ball. You just cant go apeshit and start punching around the ball. Sooner or later its going to start a brawl. Just dont think its a good precedent to set to allow players to wildly punch at the ball on a wrapped up guy.
 
Any news on DK Metcalf's fine for punching Devin Bush after Bush recovered Geno's fumble?

"crickets"

Fully agree gentlemen !!!

Get use to it as the league is going to tarnish his clean boy image and make it so he can't be great...................

Do I see him getting unfavorably beat out of DPOY again......... very possible





Salute the nation
 
PS

It's a travisty getting fined for some that is leagal, whether he was in full visual or not.

Would Devon White have been fined? How about Alex Highsmith?

EXCELLENT point but truth is he isn't a STEELERS player and his team didn't unanamously vote down rog's CBA deal.

curious as to when the refs finally blew the whistle once Minkah had him stacked up to end the play.

If the swings came after the whistle go ahead and fine him if not ......... ???????

If Watt wants to get his money worth for fines of sucker punching balls on the field of play he needs to train with the best

Andrew the Nutcracker Golota ........just ask Riddick Bowe

I have it on good authority that it will come out at the same time the apology from the NFL officiating committee is broadcasted to explain " WTF" happened with the review
 
You guys. When the play was happening I didn’t see it was TJ,but I did think ,what the **** is that guy doing. It definitely seemed a bit excessive. Fineable. I don’t think so. Penalty on the play. Yes.
Now if the situation was reversed and some guy was swinging away at Ben or Naj excessively,I get the feeling there would be an outcry for fines.
