Sigh...You're a Ravens fan, do you honestly think your defensive players are all angels that never hit anyone unnecessarily? Do I need to find gifs of other 'unnecessary' hits from this preseason that hasn't resulted in any suspensions at all? As I said earlier, I'm perfectly fine if the NFL wanted to suspend Burfict for more games than other people for similar offenses. The fact that other players are taking unnecessary hits and getting zero games and Burfict is getting 3 games is stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make it less just when someone gets caught, though. But do you honestly think that Burfict is going to get the benefit of the doubt after an ambiguous hit (which is what I'll call this one, going by this thread alone)? For all we know, the league has a microscope on him because of his past, which is why he's getting picked up and others aren't - still not unfair, if you ask me. A known-dirty player doesn't deserve any leniency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A known-dirty player doesn't deserve any leniency. Just ticks me off. Noah Brown blows up a kicker in another preseason game with a blatant cheapshot, does he get suspended for 1 game even? No. Was watching a replay of the Steelers-Colts game at a bar a little while ago. Saw Bud Dupree hit a Colts TE after the play was over for no reason other than to just hit him. No flag, no fine, no suspension. Colts TE even went up him to after the play with a 'wth' look. Just ticks me off when fans and the NFL act like it's Burfict and no one else. I'm fine with admiting that Burfict is a dirty player, and I said he deserved fines/suspensions for the AB hit, Maxx Williams hit was cheap as well, ankle twisting, etc... This one though was straight BS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every defense has it's fair share of dirty plays, and players should be rightfully punished/fined/suspended. (Good luck getting that right NFL) I'll admit the ravens have their fair share of dirty players/dirty plays as well. There's no way they can suspend every single defender for every unnecessary hit but they do need to find the right balance of suspending/fining/punishing players so defenders don't cause unnecessary injuries. But we all know the NFL and that's never gonna happen, they'll screw it up for quite a while to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how you would judge the NFL's decision to reduce it, but not rescind it. In essence, I believe they either had to stick with 5 games as he was a repeat offender and had already been suspended three games or let it go. If they deem it to be legal, there should be zero games missed. So what this says to me is, the NFL is saying "the hit was legal, but you are Vontaze Burfict and still playing for the Bengals, so you get three games anyway. because we said so". That's wrong on so many levels. Granted, it was before this sudden crackdown, but how many total games di Suh miss for all three of his infamous stomps, including one on the Dallas player's head with no helmet (Gerode)? One. Exactly one game. One was reduced from two to one game for that episode, and the stomp on Rogers drew a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Still waiting for that suspension from when he obliterated Martellus Bennett's knee from behind, off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
