Some of you guys still give Burfict the BOTD. I have been saying for years now that he is mentally psycho. He wants to hurt people. It is like a drug to him. No way was he going to pass up that opportunity with that last shot on a WR. He meant to do it and did it the best way he could with no care for what it might mean to his team. Did some of you not watch him for years at ASU?

The man is a psycho and needs real help mentally. I would bet all I own that if he lives long enough he will be on trial for murder one day.

Dummy Deion is defending him on NFL.network now. He obviously doesn't know Burfict either or followed his whole life on the playing field.

And the networks have basically Canonized Ben the Rapist and Ray the Murderer but Vontaze Burfict is everything that's wrong with football.

Are you kidding me?!?!

This is a surprise? I've been disgusted that they have Ray Lewis on TV since he's been on TV. Was disgusted before that, but whatever. It is kind of ironic that Ray Lewis would criticize Burfict however, I'll give you that. LOL.

 

[Darkside]

It's fine to hit a woman, you just cant hit a Steeler.

LOL, this is a great quote. I bet their fans would bumper-sticker this and their women would be all for it.

Like Dick Butkis, Ray Lewis, Jack Tatum, Suh, Romanowski.......

I can't believe how many people are blaming the refs.

That hit was absolutely filthy, hell could have been a late hit penalty even if he just runs him over as the ball was gone. Instead Vonteze was head hunting, he lowered his shoulder/helmet area directly into Brown's head. In college that would have been an instant ejection. If someone did that to Larry this board would want them killed. That play was sooooooo dirty.

How could anyone think that isn't a penalty?

A disgusting hit by a disgusting player.

I thought it was weak frankly. I still remember the days when WR's would short-arm balls not to get hit. That was a shoulder hit on a dude and not that violent IMO. He didn't target the dude, just hit him solid. If we're going to whine about that let's just play flag football.

 

[Darkside]

I am, I didn't think it was that bad. Wasn't violent, intentional, or spearing, etc. Just a good football play. It happens.

Shoulder hit to the head not a penalty? Wow

Honestly I think AB is lucky he doesn't have a spinal injury or broken neck.

Are you kidding me?!?!

So ESPN instead should be defending Burfict's behavior?

A good football play? You live in a different reality than I.

That was late and a blatant attempt to seriously injure. Guys who make plays like that shouldn't be in the league.

 

[Darkside]

Let's just all whine now when dudes get hit going over the middle. Wah. What kind of sissies play football now, seriously. You can't hit a guy over the middle anymore? How are you supposed to hit him and send a message? Please.

 

[Darkside]

Shoulder hit to the head not a penalty? Wow

Nah, the replay I saw (not the one posted here) showed what I thought was a legal hit. Don't really care though, it's football. I can't pretend to be overly concerned with it when I'm not, it's a gladiator sport. I'm not one of those dudes who says something and then the media comes back and demands and apology and I say it was taken out of context or whine for forgiveness. The truth is I don't actually care, looked like a good hit to me. I'm fine with it. Not gonna cry about it.

It's not just that play that people are blaming the refs for. The 15 yd penalty after that play was pretty weak, considering all the crap that was going on on the field of play at the time. The TD that dude caught with his ass shouldn't have counted IMO.

36 is like, "This again. Why do I play for this team?"

Vontaze the victim.

Seriously, lol, who is saying it wasn't dirty?

I'm sorry we dont share the same level of alarm as him I guess? lol

Such a weak penalty to call. If anything, they should have called it on both teams.

He didn't even have the ball! You're still allowed to pop a guy if you time it correctly and he actually has the ball or a chance at it. That isn't what Vonteze was doing. The ball was gone, the receiver was defenseless and Vonteze went for the absolute most dangerous hit he could on a guy who was no threat at that point in the play.

I don't know why I'm bothering to debate with anyone about it. That play was utterly disgusting and I don't see how anyone can defend that kind of conduct. Its not hard nosed tough football. That was a filthy play by a cowardly piece of garbage.

 

[Bert]

I think he's just pointing out the hypocrisy. I would be fine with ESPN just talking about the play and pointing out it was dirty, but in times like these some of those guys like to get wayyyy up on their high horse and get after guys characters, and its like,,,, wait for it,,,,,, C'mon man..

 

[devilalum]

The hit on the receiver at the end was a penalty but they don't even get to that point if not for all the great plays he made before. Its just too easy to blame it all on him.

Are you kidding me? Nashman is laying the entire defeat on the refs, Darkside is saying there was absolutely nothing wrong with that play. Called it "A good football play".

without a doubt. If that's not a penalty there is no such thing as a personal foul.
