I blame the NFL. He shouldn't have been on the field. If this hit on Brown combined with his history is enough for 3 games then what he did to Maxx Williams was well worth atleast a one game suspension. Why prove a point for 3 meaningless games next season when you had a chance to make a point about safety by not allowing him to play in a playoff game. Goodell is a buffoon and doesn't give two shits about player safety.

That ankle twisting on Cam Newton may be the worst example I've seen. The guy definitely needs a timeout for several games. He may be as dirty as Von Miller.
What was the hit on the TE Williams? I haven't seen that one.

Spoiler!
I can't find a zoomed out version yet but the zoom out is even worse - the play is a quick hitter to the other side of the field. Burfict and Williams aren't involved in it at all and Burfict doesn't even do anything to try to track the play - he just throws himself at Williams' head. He's really a mother****er.

Zoomed out, I didn't see why it was a dirty play. I didn't see that it was a big head butt. I would agree with your assessment of Burfict. He's bad for the sport.

Watching the game, you could just tell he was going to screw up big & cost his team eventually. |

I agree with both your points. It was a cheap shot, period. When the NFL is more worried about what goes on OFF the field than on, Goodell is a buffoon. Three games is what Sean Smith got for DUI in the off season. Given Burfict's history, he should get at least 4 to 6 games off.

After seeing a bunch of other stuff, I flip my position and see no problem with the suspension and don't believe it's long enough. Dude is a pretty dirty player and I can see now that the hit might not have been as innocent as I originally thought.

Yeah, I was a little bummed too. He was Pac 12 so I got to hear about & watch him play a little more. What really blew me away was the teams with more than a few 7th round picks didn't take a chance. I can't help but wonder if a different environment with level headed veterans instead of someone like PacMan would have kept him on the straight & narrow. I remember several folks coming to Burficts defense out of college. He may have turned the corner but once he got on that team the corner turned into a round a bout & he was back where he was trying to escape. Pac returns punts or kickoffs, can't remember. But that's about all he's good for. The couple games I watched this year he was constantly getting thrown at.

$190k in fines in his first 3 seasons. Then there's his history in college. Book is written on him.
