Maybe a bit excessive but some discipline is definitely deserved.

The ref should be fined if not suspended himself for not throwing the flag, as Shazier should be fined and on their radar from here on out. If not, then the Bengals should sue the NFL on grounds of hypocrisy of player safety. I am pissed at the NFL and the refs for a lot of that game. But it still doesnt take away that Burfict is the newly crowned dirtiest player in the league after that hit on Brown. That isnt a good thing for the team in the long run of things unless he cleans his play up.
......and even that hit was blown way out of proportion. This is almost bad as the PIT/SEA Super Bowl.....almost.

He already did. He isnt ball tapping or twisting ankles anymore. He is hitting guys during the play. Incidental contact to a defenseless receiver isnt worthy of a 3 game ban. One step going full speed after the ball glances off the intended receivers hands. His target area lowered like the league wanted. If Burfict played for the steelers he would be a league golden boy. Polamalu will be in the HoF and he was an enforcer in the middle. Burfict plays tough in the middle and the league suspends the heart of our D 3 games. Its a a load of shit. Mike Brown should be throwing a fit.

What did Brady get for deflate gate and he cheated? Seems the NFL has favorites.

Except he didn't cheat, because cold air reduces air pressure. Footballs, balloons, car tires, doesn't matter. Note the NFL didn't want to take air pressure readings from every game this year, they didn't want to take air pressure readings from the Vikings game, and they haven't released any numbers from their "random" testing.
If the NFL's accusations were backed up by the air pressure tests, we'd all sure as hell know about it because Roger would be screaming it from his soapbox.
Patriots got the air pressure tested, yet... Brady still an MVP candidate, Patriots still got a bye, Patriots still best in the league at fumble rate. Poor example to use a witchhunted team who's still fighting legal battles (and lost their 1st round pick) for nothing.
More like we're now in the same category as the Patriots in the NFL's eyes. We dared opposed their favorites. Steelers this year, Luck last year.

Agree the Patriots are a poor example. It wasn't just dumb luck that the NFL got laughed out of court on the suspension appeal.
RE: Burfict suspended first 3 games of 2016 season - The Burfict Answer - 01-12-2016
The only reason it's 3 games is cuz Antonio brown is ok to go this week had burfict actually hurt him he'd be seeing more time.
I wish burfict would of actually gave the piece of shit a concussion. Then we could say he actually earned his concussion

All this does is ensure the next time that he will get his money worth or he will go low and wreck knees.

Does anyone also find it odd that all of sudden earlier today shazier applogized to gio on social media and that now brown is back in concussion protocol after taking videos mad partying on social media last night?

I imagine this gets changed. Would also like to see some suspensions coming for the steelers. Maybe the league is holding off until their season is over.
This will help you: imagine the worst possible scenario for your team, now make it what you expect will happen, and that is what the NFL will do to the Bengals.
They do the Burfict suspension to quiet the big dollar market morons known as steeler nation.
They bias the announcing, the TV replays, and the media shows after the game to praise the steelers and curse the Bengals.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the NFL will bias towards the largest fanbases and isn't the least bit ashamed over it.
RE: Burfict suspended first 3 games of 2016 season - Utts - 01-12-2016
Are you people not familiar with 55's history? He should have been suspended 3 games after the Panthers game last year. The fact he's just getting suspended now is surprising.
He's the one responsible, nobody else. The fact he chose to run into the tunnel and then try to cripple AB in a Nationally televised playoff game probably didn't help to keep his antics under the radar.
He's a thug and needs to be reeled in before he literally cripples someone.
RE: Burfict suspended first 3 games of 2016 season - StLucieBengal - 01-12-2016
Tez doesn't deserve nor warrant a suspension.
RE: Burfict suspended first 3 games of 2016 season - cinci4life - 01-12-2016
This is a bunch of shit! Shazier's hit was 10x worse and actually illegal and not even flagged and he'll get nothing. AB really put himself in the position when he dropped his head. You could see it on replay that he saw Tez and then dropped his head in a likely attempt to get that flag which worked. AB should consider himself lucky Tez let up instead of really drilling him.

I personally have no issue with the suspension; hopefully it gets reduced to 2 games, but Burfict has to learn.
I have never more emphatically disagreed with any post on any message board ever!!!
God, I hope Burfict never changes from exactly who he is. He's one of the truly special pieces of this team!!!

This nails the "bigger picture" angle when considering that the league used his history against him here.

Everytime I think I am getting over it, I read shit like this and I feel like I am going to lose it.
Hate is a strong word, but I hate that team, the NFL, and every fat, uneducated moron that is such an obnoxious fan of that team.
