The deciding point was his vicious hit on the BAL TE during their last game. I think the refs were warned to watch him closely and not hesitate. He seemed to play nice for most of the game, but he couldn't resist that one hit. The more I read and think about it, the more I think he is getting what he deserves with the suspension. I can alaso appreciate the arguments of those how think he doesn't deserve a second chance.

His actions got the whole team suspended for the divisional round.

Burfict's second chance was after he got unbenched in college despite not changing what got him benched in the first place. His 3rd chance was getting an opportunity in the NFL, but he blew that at the combined. his 4th chance was going undrafted because he's an idiot, but still getting signed to a camp. He's clearly been ignored his bengal coaches the past 4 years, so he's lucky the organization put up with his bad for his good. This suspension is just another chance and I think it's long overdue. He probably should have got a 1 game suspension for the the ankle twisting last year. Fining an NFL player is basically useless as a punishment, but most players use it as a wake up call to make adjustments. Clearly not the case with burfict.
