I really have no problem with it. It was Burfict. If Gronk in 3 weeks gets plowed by a Bills player, I would have no problem with the same events unfolding. You dish it out, you best be able to take it.
They quoted Big Ben during the telecast about the difference between Steelers/Ravens and Steelers/Bengals.
Set aside all of Gruden's crybaby shit in the booth. He gets paid to cry about things like that. I thought there was nothing wrong with Ju Ju's hit. He didn't use his head, put his shoulder into Burfict and trucked him at the point of attack. Burfict needs to keep his head on a swivel. the taunting? sure whatever, throw a flag for that, considering they are taking all the fun out of the game might as well try to be consistent. But the hit itself was clean
Obviously he targeted Burfict because of Burfict's past dirty play but you can't go around doing that.
I am glad Steelers won. They have a home match up against the Pats in 2 weeks that most likely will determine the home field. For once I hope Steelers don't shit the bed against the Pats. Grab the home field so at least you have a chance in the playoffs. We know you get destroyed in Foxboro anyway.
Truck him in the head. Doesn't matter if you use your head or shoulder to hit someone there, that's unacceptable. Bring targeting into the game like college has, toss people for it and watch how much less it happens.
Watch it again sir. JuJu put his shoulder into Burfict's chest. Its Burfict's fault his head rattled like a rag doll after that. He was not looking in his peripherals or following the play like he should've. - the "targeting" ejection in the college game is a joke and ruins the game
yeah and I think you lose the right to argue that it was clean once you stand there gloating over someone you tried to paralyze. Juju and Gronk both appealed their suspensions (and lost the appeals). When players appeal suspensions like that when they're obviously in the wrong, they should be doubled.
