adamthyst Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I used to respect Burfict for his hard work at becoming a star, but that dirty playing makes me lose respect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derakynn Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 He probably won't even be disciplined for it. Vickerson wasn't for intentionally injuring Satele.

Coltswarriors Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 He should definitely be suspended for a couple games. Intentionally trying to hurt someone is disgusting. There is no room for that in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boiler_Colt Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 He really shouldn't be playing the next few weeks.... but I won't hold my breath.Agreed! If Walden can get suspended for his headbutt, Burfict should have to sit for this. This is getting quite a lot of buzz though, so I bet the league considers it. Goodell cant preach safety and let this stand, but like you said, I'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsFanMikeC Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 He will get ejected if he does that. Everyone knows about it now, and the refs will keep an eye on him. Let him try it. Eyes will be on him but he shouldn't be playing. It will be very unfortunate if it takes him actually injuring someone seriously for the league to step in here. There's no room for play like that in the NFL. Given his past history, he should get at least 2 weeks for this. In my opinion, action like this should be worse than taking PEDs or something else -- it's one thing to try to enhance your own game, but it's a totally different thing to try to intentionally injure another player, let alone do it blatantly after a play twice. Sure would be nice if we got to play Cincy without Green and Burfict, their best player on O and D respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcolt Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 He was a total bum when he played out here in AZ for the Sun Devils. I don't think anyone shed a tear when he left college early for the NFL. Big talent but Vince Young-dumb. He was pulled from several ASU games for repeatedly getting personal fouls called. I thought he had really changed and grown up but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo2004 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would say a suspension is warranted. NFL certainly needs to do something here, it's fined a lot of guys for incidental things that happen during a football game that they often clearly didn't intend to happen. Even some of the cleanest guys on and off the field have gotten fined. I believe JJ Watt took a fine recently and Watt is anything but a dirty player. But this guy clearly tried to hurt someone after the play was made. Refs may not have caught it but NFL cameras did and he needs to be punished.

OffensivelyPC Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If the league doesn't do anything about it, players have a way of taking justice in their own hands (or at least try to without putting themselves at risk for suspension/fines). Kinda like baseball when a pitcher retaliates. Just the nature of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo2004 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would have thought if any action was going to be taken, or at the least an investigation into it they would have announced it by now? Might take a few days. Ron Rivera just sent the video into the league on Monday for review according to the article. The immediate fines you hear about are often from things that are flagged on the field and I think the league automatically reviews those. But since this wasn't noticed by the refs or flagged it might take a bit of time for them to look into it.

Probably just a fine if the NFL agree's that it was an attempt to injure the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valpo2004 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Oh here is a 3 frame shot of the tackle on Greg Olsen which is more condemning then the full speed video. Oddly enough I got this from a Bengal's SB Nation site. http://www.cincyjungle.com/cincinnati-bengals-carolina-panthers-2014/2014/10/13/6969375/carolina-panthers-angry-with-vontaze-burfict Looks very clear to me that well after the player was down he seeks out the ankle to try and twist it. The Cam Newton twist is also pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Pelley Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Wow... Guys like this that clearly go out of their way to injure another player shouldn't be playing in the league. I know, defenders want to lay big hits on guys and all that, but this is just childish stupidity. Glad to see Riverboat Ron sending the video to the NFL.

chad hugo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 This guy is a repeat offender and will probably be suspended a couple of games. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11699433/nfl-review-allegations-vontaze-burfict-cincinnati-bengals-delibertately-attemped-injure-cam-newton-greg-olsen Burfict has a history of being fined. He was fined $21,000 for hitting a defenseless receiver (James Jones) and $10,000 for striking tight end Ryan Taylor in the groin during a Week 3 game against Green Bay last season.He also was fined $21,000 last season for hitting New York Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill, now a member of Carolina's practice squad, with the crown of his helmet.

Ehh most of the guys that they say that about just where hard hitters. And with the rules changes they probably often hit people in the head quite a bit. I don't think guys like Mean Joe Greene or Night-train Lane would have been caught looking for your ankle after you where down to try and twist it. I don't think anything like that was ever considered acceptable in football. Although you are right that no one would have cared if you aimed for the head and they might have applauded at the time if you KO'ed a guy.

ColtStronger Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I didn't figure he would get suspended, the NFL preaches safety, but Goodell pulls a DHB and drops the ball (when it comes suspending people for violations) lol!

canibalcoltsfan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Anyone counting on the ref's to keep a close eye on this guy, don't hold you're breath. We struggle enough just to get the ref's to make calls that are blatantly obvious, let alone watching one dirty player trying to torque some ankles. Prime example: week 2 vs the eagles, we should've won that game(but the ref's handed it to philly)! GO COLTS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
