Should there be tougher penalties for facemask grabs??

[ACoochy]

Current penalty isnt working as there's been several in this Saints/Packers game, none worse so than the grab that has sidelined Rodgers. Yeah he's back on but fudge me, the guys right eye looks as though it could go around the world in 80 days.

Not to mention the potential for damage to the spine when facemask is inadvertently pulled.

Simply put, its the tool of low life cheats on the field and imo much tougher penalties need to be introduced that make the players stand up and take notice...

Maybe a 1st and goal might make those that are prone to this think again.

Thoughts?

i think the rules are fine...most facemask calls are accidental anyways...

if you want to change anything about facemask rules, you need to add a penalty to offensive guys with the ball who can stiff arm to the face and push the helmet of the defender... complete garbage to let them get away with it, imo...
