BayRaider Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I agree with Whitehead (he’s usually very on point), that hit deserved a one game suspension at most. They are acting like it’s the AB hit. Might as well rename it the Buttercup League. What an absolute joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daineraider Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 4-8 games sounds about right. The whole season would be too much, imo. Burfict needs to stop his BS so I understand making an example out of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of a sudden it jumps to 12 games? Ridiculous. He needs to appeal and get that lowered. He already got 4 games twice. And honestly mostly only raiders fans are defending him today.

Geezy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Haynesworth got 5 games for stomping on a dudes head. Burfict gets 12 for a hit? That’s crazy. I will say, he didn’t do himself any favors after the play, laughing and blowing kisses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yall would want that player banned. Let's just be real here. Pretty sure I saw you post this on Twitter. Don't know if it's you, but another guy said the exact same thing on Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go tackle him, there was 0 reason to try to hit him like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver&Black88 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 He’s earned his reputation doing dumb stuff like this. That is what landed him the big suspension. If he doesn’t like it then he could simply have not had numerous previous infractions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always come on here and see posts that are similar to stuff on twitter and I always wonder. I know there's a couple of people on here that are on twitter because they're always sharing tweets with the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lowered his head and tried to spear Doyle in the neck/head area. Just go tackle him, there was 0 reason to try to hit him like that. Doyle was not down. He had already got off the ground. He did not have his legs under him yet. Is Barnett going to get a 4 game suspension now for his hit? I would think that is BS also. The last time he got suspended was 2 years ago. People are acting like he does this on a weekly basis. It was a dangerous hit but during a play where the opposing player is still trying to gain ground. The Barnett hit was after the whistle, Williams had given himself up, and had been driven back 3 yards. We are not defending Burfict's hit as clean. It was dangerous but a 12 game suspension for an in game hit that would not have been flagged if he held his head 3 inches higher is outrageous.
