Seriously?  You're a good dude Benton, I have to chalk this comment up to still being upset about the game.  A suspension for what they did would be asinine, without precedent and a complete over reaction.  Burfict has yet to be suspended once for multiple, deliberate, attempts to injure other players, yet our coaches should be suspended for pulling a guy and, possibly, shit talking respectively? 

To the bold, coaches have been suspended before.

As far as precedent, that's the point. If coaches are putting hands or taunting players of other teams, that's out of line. And you've got two ways to stop it — fine them (which doesn't work) or suspend their employment. The NFL came out before the game and warned both sides they wouldn't put up with anything... and then they did. They're showing their inability to enforce their rules or their edicts.

Burfict should get a fine. I don't think anyone doubts that will be coming. But he made a football play in the moment that was of arguable intent. Grabbing a players hair, coming onto the field to taunt a player... there's no arguable intent there. That's durty.

And the NFL is impotent to stop it.
