That's a low fine and indicative that the NFL doesn't think he deserved to be ejected. And thus (and rightfully) no suspension.

I thought the hit was a good one.

I didn't. It wasn't. Doesn't matter if it was intentional. You don't train your players to do that, and they shouldn't.

The flag and the ejection and now the fine are utterly absurd. I guess he's supposed to just let the opposition score a touchdown. Ridiculous.

100% correct!

How about they do this. If its clearly a head on contact to a literal defensless receiver, its 15 yds plus a possible large fine. If its a hit to the chest or ball, its a 5 yd penalty. That combines the incentive to not hit them in the head, but not totally alter the game due to the player doing his job

It was a great hit because it prevented a TD. The penalty is debatable since Hamlin lowered his aim so as to not hit Meyers high, but Meyers lowered his head. The ejection was bogus and rightfully there was no suspension.

It was textbook by the rules. You'd be screaming your head off if anyone did that to Allen, crying like a mother****er for massive penalties. Man up.

Mac Jones was fined 2x+ that with no penalty or disqualification.

It was an illegal hit and he was rightfully ejected. There was no additional discipline needed for the hit. Hamlin didn’t even argue the ejection because he knew it was legit.

The hypocritical way fans view penalties is just pathetic. An opponent breathes on your team you want it viewed as a capital offense, but your team break clearly violate the rules of the game and it’s like they go blind temporarily. One of the worst parts about every fan base.

It absolutely wasn't debatable because it was textbook by the rules. You don't say it was a great hit because someones spine wasn't snapped.

I wasn't happy, but I clearly saw it beyond my own emotional involvement. I wouldn't want to see that happen to a Bill, and that's about all I can say. I can't see yu defending that hit if it happened against a Bill.

Stupid comment. Horrible comparison.

If he deserved to be ejected then every defenseless receiver call should carry an automatic ejection. I've seen very few ejections even on worse hits than that one.
