Eifert was going down, the play was over, and he targeted an almost prone, defenseless receiver.  Yeah, they threw a flag, and later fined him, but he should have also been ejected.  He went way out of his way to make that dirty hit.  That is exactly the kind of play that needs to be eliminated from the NFL.

Look what it's done to Eifert and the Bengals.  And Mitchell goes merrily on his way thinking he's Mr. Badass. Players who continue that need to be facing lengthy suspensions.

Any Player who purposely spears another should be ejected imo. Further any damages caused should be paid by the offender. This just might be effective enough to stop this nonsense. The $23,000 fine (or whatever the amount) is a joke, an insult to an 'Eifert' as well as the rest of the team who has lost a key player.

The NFL brain trust has come up woefully short on such matters. Time to step up and get this right. I don't see much gray area on the subject. If you condemn this, then develop a penalty that will be effective. These piss ant amounts of fines they hand out are embarrassing in the grand scheme of things.
