JiffyJag Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Yet another egregious and intentional helmet to helmet hit today that got him ejected. He's been fined almost certainly a historic amount of money, and for a league that pretends to care about changing the game to minimize brain injuries, surely getting someone who refuses to adapt and seemingly intentionally sets out to injure out of the league would be a good move, right? There's simply no place in the game for a player that "plays" like Burfict does, and he's a liability to have on the field. When will the NFL take serious action? https://[LINK ERROR]/4ryru Edited September 30, 2019 by Jaguarfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I don't know about outright ban, but everything he does should absolutely be cumulative. His fine, suspension, or whatever is coming, for what he did should be A LOT more than if some rookie made the same hit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they haven't been effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I can completely understand the ejection on that hit and maybe it's just because it's slow motion, but I can kind of also understand the angle he went in for the hit. It looked like the WR or whoever that is was about to get up quickly, which means he would've hit him around the shoulders/hips, but ended up deciding to go back down and led to the contact. If Vontaze hadn't made the helmet to helmet contact his teammate coming from the other side 100% would've at the angle he was taking as well, likely due to same reasoning for the angle to tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 His play will run him out of the league soon enough. Probably by the end of the year. He's just not good anymore. Also, yeah he's dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I just saw video of him while he was running off the field....was he really smiling and laughing? While I was trying to find video of it I came across this: That's TEAM CAPTAIN Vontaze Burfict to you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 A lifetime ban seems warranted at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedyg Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Don't think the CBA will allow for a permanent suspension even with his repeated violations. The bigger question is when will teams stop tolerating his dirty play. You would think eventually teams make a stand and get him out of the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Town Values Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Reports saying he's likely to receive a season long suspension. No doubt that will impact his future employability in the league. He could well be done? Feel bad for the Raiders, they can't catch a break in 2019.

I'm more surprised this hasn't happened yet. An OL "falls down" and rolls his knee up, or a blindside cut block at his legs - something meant to blow out his knees and put his career in jeopardy. It's not something you like to see, but we'd be foolish to think it's not something that teams have done before to a dirty player. How that hasn't happened yet is beyond me.

Well I mean more that teams just stop giving him chances by signing him lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
