He does have a history of being a dirty player though, so I guess there's some justification. I just hate how its all on the defender to avoid a head collision when backs and receivers lower their heads like battering rams with no penalty.

In Burfict's case, he doesn't like the fact that defensive players aren't allowed to physically assault offensive players after the whistle and between plays.

This may be a poor example for me to hitch my wagon to make this point. I too backed off my original statement after seeing some of the gif history and feel this guy has probably lost his right to benefit of the doubt. Something needs to be done to balance the extreme advantage the offense has now based on "player safety" rules. That, I will not back down on.

Don't get me wrong, I still have no problem with that particular hit, if it was done by anyone else, but seeing that he has a history of trying to hurt people intentionally, I don't believe it was as innocent as it looked.

Case in point, with about a minute to go in the first half of this same game, 36 for Cin hit 11 for Pit after 11 caught the ball over the middle. The defender led with his shoulder pad, and was flagged. It was a clean hit, except for the fact 11 lowered his head, which caused 36 to brush his facemask when he got tackled. There was a 15 yeard personal foul called. So, are defenders supposed to get out of the way and let a WR own the middle of the field? Not make the tackle and let the offense get a bigger play? What are a defenders options in that situation? It's absolute horseshit that that is considered a penalty...

On that note I have never seen a defensive player hurt by a stiff arm that I can recall evcept maybe a bruised ego. I suppose it's happened. |

The rule is you can not target a defenseless receivers head. He hit a defenseless receiver in the head. Doesn't matter what the name is on the back of the jersery it is a penalty. Im not getting your issue?

How was there not a penalty on the Steelers for Porter being out in the middle of the field, and in the Bengals faces?

Defender had total control of his body, the receiver was the one who didn't. Yet its still a penalty on the defense. The defender went low, the receiver caught the ball and took two full steps before crashing into the defender. This is my entire point. This can't all be on defenders because it gives way too much of an advantage to offense.
