4_kidd_4 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Jeez sorry i asked Don't pay close attention around the league like I used to. I guess when you have a rep like that, 5 games is lenient.
YoloinOhio Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 The hit itself looked shoulder to shoulder. It would never be 5 games unless he had the reputation and prior transgressions, which he can only blame himself for.
Jauronimo Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 The hit itself looked shoulder to shoulder. It would never be 5 games unless he had the reputation and prior transgressions, which he can only blame himself for. Its still a hit away from the ball. Its a cheap shot regardless of whether he contacts the shoulder or head.
Heavy Kevi Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Usual suspects... ...Dirtiest player in the NFL, and that's saying something. After watching that a few times, 5 games seems a bit harsh to me. I doubt he did it maliciously and didn't expect the opposing player to fold like a house of cards. Burfict no longer gets benefit of the doubt
eball Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 5 games seems a bit harsh for that. Does Burfict have a history? Yes, he's a complete douche with no regard for his opponents' safety. This is so overdue.
Captain_Quint Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 It was a love tap compared to Landry's Landrys block was a designed part of the dolphins play. He was supposed to take AW out on the play. He left his feet and went high, which is a penalty and dirty. This was a guy who went out for a pass and got creamed even though the play was away from him. Both were dirty, but Landry just executed the play poorly, and got fined for it. This one was a sucker punch.
row_33 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 5 games seems a bit harsh for that. Does Burfict have a history? they let him go into a crazy fugue in a playoff game for 10 minutes running with the ball into the locker room, hoping he wasn't going to really explode, everyone patiently waited for him to return to earth. and 3 cheap shots and needless 15-yard penalties every game. apart from that, no....
HumbleAndHungry Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) Why is this guy still in the league, he will never get it.Honestly , I'd rather someone like josh Gordon be reinstated and burfict indefinitely suspended. At least Gordon's neglegance for rules doesn't jeopardize other players Edited August 28, 2017 by Finkle Is Einhorn
YoloinOhio Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) @rapsheet Vontaze Burficts suspension is based on1: Him hitting with his shoulder & helmet to Anthony Shermans head & neck area. 2: Repeat offender .@NFL point of emphasis added WR running a route (like Sherman) to give him defensive player protection. Head & neck hits are personal fouls Edited August 28, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) 5 games seems a bit harsh for that. Does Burfict have a history? 6 letters dude: Google (yes) Some people might think 5 games is a bit lenient, given the history. Why is this guy still in the league, he will never get it.Honestly , I'd rather someone like josh Gordon be reinstated and burfict indefinitely suspended. At least Gordon's neglegance for rules doesn't jeopardize other players With you Edited August 28, 2017 by Hapless Bills Fan
eball Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I don't even understand how his teammates could respect him. Everything he does goes against the honor and integrity of the game. You don't try to take away a guy's ability to make a living, and he has done it time and time again. Guys like Burfict don't deserve the privilege of playing in the NFL and making that kind of money.
row_33 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 CIncy has it's own code. Steelers have eternally enjoyed being in their division....

Ralonzo Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 5 games seems a bit harsh for that. Does Burfict have a history? History has a Burfict
row_33 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) It's a good drinking game waiting to chug the 13 or so times Burfict goes totally mental out there with a cheap shot or the next WTF moment. So what other team would put up with him? Edited August 28, 2017 by row_33
YoloinOhio Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 It's a good drinking game waiting to chug the 13 or so times Burfict goes totally mental out there with a cheap shot or the next WTF moment. So what other team would put up with him? it is the culture that Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown tolerate. It won't stop until they are gone.
LABILLBACKER Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Vontaze meet Jarvis....Jarvis meet Vontaze
Boatdrinks Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Oh, he saw him and knew exactly what he was doing. He was Burfict's responsibility in that coverage. And it was in the 5 yard zone , and the QB let go of the ball. Looks like he thought his guy was getting the ball, squared up closed his eyes and hit him. Looks legal to me. If it's helmet to helmet or a high hit then ok, but seems harsh to me
