Per Sean Jensen, nickelback DJ Moore was fined $15,000 for his retaliation on Matthew Stafford, and there's almost certainly more to come. Earlier this week, Kyle Vanden Bosch was fined $7,500 for a late hit and Earl Bennett was fined $10,000 for his orange shoes.
Watch this thread as we'll update it if and/or when new fines are released.
Update: Matthew Stafford fined $7,500 for throwing DJ Moore to ground. Per Biggs.
Update II: Rob Sims fined $7,500 for piling on. Per Dave Birkett.
Update III: Nick Fairley hit with $15,000 for roughing the passer. Per Jason LaCanfora.
Update IV: Ndamukong Suh and Lance Briggs are NOT fined. Per Peggy Kusinski.

I'll say it again
Stafford deserves a fine for bringing Moore down by his helmet behind the play. Moore wasn’t even the ball carrier so if Stafford doesn’t get a fine this the NFL pencilnecks who hand out these fines are totally full of excrement. (more than they already are).
Pay Matt Forte! Now!

Agreed, I hope they're still just sorting that aspect out.

Stafford gets a $7,500 fine when he was the one that clearly started the whole altercation?!?! Job well done NFL…
Well, all he did was throw down Moore.
(Sure, all he did…)
If Moore didn’t go after him full-bore though, there’s probably no brawl.

So if you're following along at home,
wearing the wrong colored shoes two weeks in a row costs more than jumping on a fight pile, a late hit on a running back, or throwing a defensive back to the ground by his helmet.

People keep saying this
wearing the wrong colored shoes two weeks in a row costs more
it’s not just about the shoes—it’s about blatantly disregarding the rules, and then disregarding a previous punishment and warning.

Suh blantantly disregarded the rules and previous punishments and warnings as well
and its of higher priority from what Goddell says, unless he’s talking out of his butt. That argument doesn’t hold very much water.

So if my tallies are correct.....
Nearly $50K in fines have come out of this game. Only two of them are on Bear’s players, and one of those is for having the wrong dress code (a 10K fine which is apprently more important to the elague than physical altercations, but don’t get me started). In all I’d say we did pretty well – I don’t think Moore should’ve gotten fined more than Stafford, though, that’s bogus.
Hey any word on if Suh is facing any more fines for late hits on Cutler?
May the Oline hold, May Cutler not get sacked into oblivion, may Urlacher break some legs, and may they come to their senses and pay Forte. AMEN.
I have too many typo reply fails in that response
I fail.
May the Oline hold, May Cutler not get sacked into oblivion, may Urlacher break some legs, and may they come to their senses and pay Forte. AMEN.
I find it interesting that I read 'elague' as 'plague'.
"More cowbell" - Bruce Dickinson; "More bell cow" - Lovie Smith
Fines aren't done yet
From what I understand, every player that got off the bench and even looked towards the pile will get something in the neighborhood of 2,500. Those players that were involved, even as peacemakers, will all be fined increasing amounts.
*whistles*
Interesting. Considering the benches were pretty much cleared onto the field, those fines are definitely going to keep piling up.
May the Oline hold, May Cutler not get sacked into oblivion, may Urlacher break some legs, and may they come to their senses and pay Forte. AMEN.
There should be a difference
between guys who came off the bench to create a numerical advantage and those who came off the bench to negate one.
This is true, and I would hope so
May the Oline hold, May Cutler not get sacked into oblivion, may Urlacher break some legs, and may they come to their senses and pay Forte. AMEN.
It's still coming off the bench
either way, they shouldn’t do it. Since you can’t read every player’s mind, you’ll have to fine them all equally.
I certainly understand, especially since DJ basically got mobbed, but it doesn’t change the rules.
If he hadn’t gotten up and speared Stafford, nothing would have escalated. The only reason Stafford got a fine at all is because it became a big scrum.
Up to 47,500 so far.
And more could still come.

Very rational job by the NFL
Sarcasm/. Where is Suh’s fine for nearly taking Cutler’s head off and Nick Fairley’s fine for his late. Additionally, Jim Schwartz, or “Gym Shorts” as Shuggs likes to call him, should be fined for promoting such bush league tactics from his players. Commish needs to teach the guy a lesson at some point sheesh.

I love how the NFL
is straight with their fines, penalties and rules. Urlacher hit a couple weeks ago not called aq penalty but fined. Briggs unbelievably great hit is not fined but a penalty. It’s funny how the competition comitee and league office is so consistent with how rules are applied on and off the field. Great job, guys!

Honestly
I’m glad that Peppers hasn’t been fined. Schwartz threw a fit about it being an illegal clothesline (even though replays show he hit CJ in the chest) and some of the less logical folks at POD were snapping about it.
If there’s no fine, the play was legal. Same with Briggs. Based on the talk on NFL.com all week, I kinda figured Suh wouldn’t get fined either, or it would have been minimal.
Schwartz can stick it in his piehole
He will whine about anything, even the wind…oh wait.

Open Letter to Roger Goodell.
Since I can’t afford to have these sorts of things posted in the Tribune, then I’ll set it down here. Mr. Commish, you sir, are a pathetic joke. Your lip service payed to “enforcing the rules” and “player safety” is the very measure of inconsistency. Why do all of these incidents keep happening in the NFL? Because no one takes you seriously. When you can reduce someone’s suspension for alleged sexual assault by two games because he’s the star player of the defending superbowl champs, then no one takes you seriously. When you have a special meeting with a repeat offender to personally warn him that his conduct is unbecoming of a professional in the public eye, then turn a blind eye to his continued violent misconduct then no one takes you seriously. When two hotheaded coaches practically come to blows on the football field, an incident that was covered in the press ad nauseaum, and you do absolutely nothing to them in response then nobody takes you seriously.
When there are flagrant cases of personnel deliberately trying to cause harm to another player and either ripping off their helmet or throwing their head to the ground results in you doing nothing, in the face of concussion awareness and player safety, then I can say with full certintany as a fan, that none of us take you seriously. I reiterate, your actions are inconsistent with your words, and that smells worse than most of Detroit.
Resign, get out of our face, and stop playing favorites.
Pay Matt Forte! Now!
