They let Shazier off on some obscure technicality (he didn't "line up" the hit) which was obviously open to interpretation, but the rules on spearing and helmet to helmet seem(ed) pretty clear to me. Don't do it. Whether or not Gio was a runner or if Shazier lined him up shouldn't have mattered, and tbh there's way too much grey area there.
couldn't agree more, and if Burfict did what Shazier did in the playoff game he would still be suspended. Remember when Hebert got hit an illegal hit by Steelers Garvin and was only issued a fine? But that didn't justify more?
No consistency...
