Nope, and it shouldn't make a goddamn bit of difference.

Jesus, this guy is a real piece of work.

Well deserved suspension, but the Steelers are just as bad if not worse as the Bungles in the dirty play department over the years and it's encouraged by their coaches.

Everyone in the media is ragging on Lewis for not controlling his players (deservedly so), but at least you don't see anyone on his staff pulling guys hair and trying to instigate fights. Let's not forget when Tomlin himself purposefully tried to trip someone running past him on the sideline a couple years ago. **** the Bengals AND the Steelers.

Yeah, those Teams beat the hell out of each other, I don't expect big Ben to get past Denver with a bad wing so they both screwed themselves.

I never wanted to go anywhere near the guy the year he came out in the draft. He was just too out of control. He's better than he was college probably, but he's still too wild.

I wonder what Burfict is like off the field...

Yup.

It wasn't just the hit, it was a very checkered history for Burfict that put him out this long.

I'm not sure I'd have been okay with even a single game had he not been dinged in the past but once guys have a clear history of being cheap-shot artists, all bets are off.

Honestly, the league could've tossed him for 8 and I wouldn't have given a ****. Remorseless and repeat headhunters are awful for the health of the league both for the immediate future and in the long-term.

The more times guys like Antonio Brown hit the turf limp, the more mothers will hand their kids a basketball or a baseball and the less talent we'll have in the game. I'm all for giving a 1-time get out of jail free card, but dropping the hammer on Burfict doesn't bother me a bit.

James Harrison is probably the reason these rules exist. If there was a more blatant headhunter in the league over the last decade, I damn sure don't recall him.

Live by the sword, assholes...

These. Very much these. Remember Hines Ward broke a safety for the Bengals ****ing jaw. Not ankle. Not knee. Not arm. Head. Broke his ****ing head. A Pitt WR broke a DB's HEAD.

I posted it earlier that the Ravens are just as bad and have been for a long time. Cleveland would be if they were good enough to be competitive. **** the entire AFCN.

When "win or go home" comes into play, its gotta be tempting to ding the opponents best player in the head and (at a minimum) have him get checked out on the sidelines for the rest of the quarter.

Agree here. Obvious bull****ing shit should be big dings. No different than baseball. They have a public image problem with roids so they smoke guys for a year if they **** around. NFL needs to do the same thing with their public image problem with concussions.

I've posted that probably 15 times since the game. Add in the cheap ass ****ing Ravens and yeah, **** the entire AFCN.

LMAO

I thought I read this morning that either Burfict or Jones said Antonio should win a "Grammy" for his performance.

Seriously, these two may not have an IQ of 130 combined.

Yeah IDK if it was dirty or not. The outrage from that is more the inconsistency of calling penalties when you compare it to the hit on Wheaton.

Burfict's hit on a TE, either the PIT game or perhaps the Ravens game OTWP was mentioning, might be the worst of the bunch.

Every person in this game is responsible for their own actions. The saddest thing here is that Pacman and Burfict feel like victims. Actually I guess they are. From themselves. It's a sad thing, watching people that are unable to self assess.

He's a piece of shit for sure, but the knee to ben doesn't seem egregious to me as I thought I remembered thinking ben fumbled.

But benefit of the doubt and all isn't likely so, yeah, he's shit

What would you do if your name was Vontaze Burfict?

Happens on catches also, especially when the WRs drop their head for contact.

I am fine with the suspension because he is a repeat offender. But they need to make it fair for the defender, if WR drops his head for a hit it should be no flag. Same when a defender is taken to the ground as he is going after the QB and only thing to grab is the legs, it gets called all the time. Generally for the favorite QBS. Then the next week you read from the office, yeah that should not of been a flag.
