    I'll tell why I don't like this and has nothing to do with whether Derwin plays smart or cavalierly. It seems arbitrary. Is there some rule where if you get X number of personal fouls you can be suspended? In the NBA, there are a certain number of technical fouls you can get before you have a 1 game suspension. Players, fans, teams all know the rule. I'm not aware of any rule like that in the NFL. This wasn't an egregious hit by Derwin. I saw at least 3 other helmet to helmet hits this week that didn't even draw flags. Derwin gets penalized even when it's not a helmet to helmet hit. He just hits hard sometimes.

    It's the fact that a guy in an NFL office just decided, I'm gonna suspend Derwin James for a game. Just so happens to be the Chiefs game and we don't want him body slamming Travis in front of Taylor. It's bullshit.

        Pretty simple why Derwin was suspended, which the NFL made clear....REPEAT offender

          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          Let’s win one for Mack.

              Fine. They should make it clear. If you get x number of personal fouls you get suspended for 1 game. Without that clarity it's arbitrary and bullshit. Especially when hits like the one above in this thread do t even draw a flag.

                  What Shawne Merriman upto. He looked good barricading the door when Harbaugh was visiting? Put Bosa on IR so he can find a glass specialist to Bubble wrap his hurt.

                      Reagor has skills, he was a 1st round pick. But for whatever reason, nobody has been able to unlock them. I think he’s like Ekeler, get him in space with the ball and let him create. But as a traditional WR, I’m not sure he’s gonna make it happen.

                        He should trade that sports car for a jugs machine.

                        Maybe he’s another QJ who just needs the right Cinderella shoes to blossom?

                          Well, the good news is, we've already got one 1st round project who seems to have turned the corner. So there's that.
