If the NFL really cares about player safety...

There should be numerous fines handed down against ram players and coaches. Very curious to see how league handles this.
I agree

I still don't know how a guy like Ogletree blatantly tries to injure another and as a result encites a brawl on the sideline and remains in the game.
The most interesting part of that mele...

was that there were many Rams players who were on the Giants sideline. There should be some accountability for players that enter into the bench area. Face it, Pete Morelli and his crew were incapable of managing that game. They allowed the Rams to continue their cheap play. Is it obvious that Greg Williams is the Rams defensive coordinator...
Yup.

And, or at least a make up ejection of AO after the other sideline penalty on him a little later.
Also the DeOssie late hit was marginally a penalty, if at all, considering the runner was running along the sidelines and SD was just trying to get him OOB.
I don't know if the NFL cares about player safety, but I do

know that the NFL cares about $ and ODB = $ so I bet that this will be addressed accordingly.

A mid tier player that does not fill the seats, sell merchandise and cause people to tune in, not so much.
For the love of all things holy...

It's OBJ, not ODB.

This was so true. The Rams player barely had a foot out of bounds - barely - with players on the ground in the area. Don't see how DeOssie could see that he was OB. Fox did a pretty good cover up of the bad calls by not really showing replays.
Guess the have to protect the league.
The league office doesn't give a shit about anything but $ and image.

They should fine the living daylights out of Fisher, Gregg Williams, and all the Rams players who were on the GIANTS sidelines, and suspend the Rams Ogletree for one game for his actions. But they won't. Just watch. There will be a few slap on the wrist fines and that's all.
