Dude has the talent to be the cornerstone of a franchise for 10 years with a 60 million dollar deal but instead he gets 30% of that because he cannot be trusted. What a waste

Any idiot could tell that the shazier hit took the in game tension to the next level. while they were sorting out the injury/possession after the play there were multiple times where it almost turned into a brawl. It doesn't get anyone off the hook for playing dirty but that was the moment a tense game turned into murderball

For the guys talking about how the Shazier hit made the situation super tense and turned it into murderball, I don't think a single person is disagreeing so what exactly is your point?

You're right that happened. Now what?

Shazier's hit was a penalty but I can't recall a flag for that type of hit. Defenseless receiver is the ref trigger. He needs to cut that poo poo out for the safety of everyone involved.

As for how dirty it was, that makes a lot of assumptions about intent. I'm not even sure Burfict intended anything more than a hard hit. But...

Burfict injured Bell, Ben, and AB this season and those are the team's three best players. Basically if one guy took out Emmit Smith, Aikman, and Irvin in one season. Is it coincidence or is causing injuries a part of his game? I don't know but he was a huge dick to the Steelers this year. I don't want to see him on the field against a team I'm rooting for, ever.

i agree. deadspin said that the rule of not hitting with the crown of your helmet has been around in some form for decades but it has really never been called and it obviously should be

I think when it is called, it is used in reasoning on QB hits. I think I recall this with several Harrison penalties and fines.

Pretty sure ive mostly seen it called against Merriweather and thats only due to refs knowing that he can only tackle like that

Lol yeah, he wasn't "trying" to sprain or break Cam Newton's ankles, rip Le'Veon Bell's knees apart, drive Ben's shoulders into the turf, or decapitate AB. Sure
