So I would love to see my Broncos beat the crap out of them figuratively speaking. But football is not life. You could actually kill a guy hitting him like this. It's bullshit.

Oh absolutely. Burfict is lucky. That's just chicken shit cheap shotting.

Dude is a cheapshot artist POS...good riddance.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the last one in there? Receiver within 5 yards of LOS can be chucked right?

Not defending the guy. He probably should have longer than a 3 game suspension in my book for the Brown hit.

Now that's how you troll...excellent...

The neurosurgeon that helped brown off the field is saying Burfict came and tapped brown on the shoulder and said "I put you to sleep mother****er" on his way off the field, prompting porters actions.

thats a really horrible and unfair punishment. .

He is basically being punished for the behavior of the Bengals team. . that hit doesnt deserve a 3 game suspension . .

No it doesn't, but it's not FOR that hit alone. It's for multiple cheap/late hits, and because of that it's totally deserved.

Nah I'm still going to disagree, I see him bracing for a collision, if he tries to pull up and stop and the WR doesn't, he gets leveled instead. We'll just have to agree to disagree because I see absolutely nothing wrong with the defenders actions. I agree it's a terrible hit to the head but I still see it as just bad timing, fractions of a second sooner or later and it's just a normal hit.

You two are out of your ****ing minds. He CLEARLY sees that it's no catch, and could have avoided all contact. Instead he CLEARLY intentionally head hunts.

Burfict saw it was incomplete and then lowered his shoulder. You can't even make an excuse by saying the hit was in the moment or trying to break up a catch. Burfict is running upright, sees the ball falling incomplete, and then lowers his shoulder and rams into Brown's head. Given his history, being suspended for a few games is getting off light. If the NFL wanted to get serious, they would ban repeat offenders like Burfict for a season or longer.

Yeah...bullshit. He came in with his helmet up high enough to see his target, and to see that the catch wasn't made. He slightly lowered his head and went in shoulder first to deliver a blow. So he either intentionally cracked a defenseless receiver in the head with his shoulder pad, or he threw a shoulder without giving a **** where it landed. Either one of those two is why the NFL made that illegal for the safety of the players and it was a dirty hit by today's standards. He deserves whatever discipline he gets.

Most states refer to that as "conscious disregard" and have no problem punishing someone for it.

I actually don't think he intentionally went at Brown's head - I just think he knew he was probably going to smoke Brown in the head and didn't give a shit - a conscious disregard of a known probable outcome. Like you said, that's exactly the kind of behavior the new rules are designed to avoid.

Harrison is the absolute best example because the guy simply never got it. He spent 5 years(ish) under the new rules and just kept dropping his head and putting his helmet into guys. Then he'd complain that it was just a really fast play and he didn't have a chance to do things differently....despite the fact that everyone else wasn't having these same problems.

The rules aren't designed to get guys in the heat of the moment to stop doing what they were about to do - they're designed to create a sea change; a culture shift where guys simply stop playing the way guys like Harrison and Burfict play.

Harrison refused to do so and quickly became obsolete. Burfict is well on his way to same.

And now that I've seen the Maxx Williams hit, I'm actually surprised he only got 3. That Williams hit was as nasty as they'll come and it was obviously intentional.

He is super dirty on the field. History of trying to injure players on propose. He deserves longer in my book.

He can probably cry to that bundle of sticks judge Berman and call it unfair like that other guy did. Does it say in the CBA I can't head hunt and cheap shot other players? The. The league I guess should do nothing.
