I just watched the video for the first time and Burfict definitely changed direction after the block to try and hit Ben, should have just stayed high though, you can't got at the QB's legs anymore.

Yep! Too bad we know Spaeth will get away with it. If he hasn't been fined by now, he probably isn't going too. The NFL just likes to make examples of some players, to make it look like they are really concerned with player safety. If they were truly concerned about player safety, they would review every game completely and fine every player for plays like that.
Can you imagine? There would be so many fines handed out.
First rule of sports, the league is always out to get your team. If you go to Steelers forum they claim the league is out to get them, if you look here the league is out to get us. If the league is out to get everyone, are they actually out to get anyone?

Well said. Every fan I know thinks the league is tougher on their team, that the refs miss more calls against them...
