Burfict turned his head so he wouldn't go helmet-to-helmet with Brown, yet somehow they still threw a flag.
Porter wasn't allowed on the field, so if he wasn't on the field, how did Jones shove him from the middle of the field?
As for the first part, we went down this road on the old boards when this all started with Harrison back in what? 08? 09? 10? The consnesus was "too bad, so sad, intent doesn't matter and it's up to the defender to find a way to miss". Burfict doesn't get a pass just because he's on our team now, anymore than Harrison used to. Unless, of course, you take the opposite approach, in which case it still works both ways.
No argument from me on the second point, though. That should have been a penalty on Pitt... or offsetting on Pitt and Jones depending on what exactly happened.
