(10-21-2018, 07:31 PM)michaelsean Wrote: I don’t care if he did. Play was ongoing and he barely brushed his head. You can drive your shoulder right into the guys forehead once he’s not a protected player. Going down isn’t down so regardless of what someone seems his intention, he violated no rules.

He wasn't just a gust of wind on Brown, was the point I was making. You missed it. I tried to be as obvious about it as I could but I forgot I'm arguing with Bengals fans so I have to break out the crayons because I'm "rolling" out of ways to help you understand your hypocrisy.

He was wrapped up by two players, his progress was stopped, he was on his way down and Burfict came in with a lowered shoulder toward his head. He could've pulled up. He had plenty of time. He didn't and only caught ABs shoulder first, then his head, then more solidly Bates forehead. The intent was there and it's obvious. It was stupid for any player let alone VB who's got a giant target on his back AND a history. Well, because of his history.

At least be honest and admit the obvious.

Rule 12 Section 2 Article 6(b) 
Unnecessary Roughness

running, diving into, or throwing the body against or on a runner whose forward progress has been stopped, who has slid feet first, or who has declared himself down by going to the ground untouched and has made no attempt to advance (see 7- 2-1-a, d);

And  you can graze one object and forcibly his a second object, but I like how you continue to ignore the guys collision with Brown as the probable cause of his injury because Burfict.

Geeze I kinda thought I was a reasonable Bengal fan as is evidenced throughout this forum.

(10-21-2018, 08:11 PM)Captain Obvious Wrote: Right before he hits Browns, you can clearly see Burfict lowering his head. Just because he didn't hit Brown with his head, doesn't mean he wasn't trying to. 

(10-21-2018, 08:16 PM)michaelsean Wrote: And?  Say you are 100% correct. If he doesn’t hit with the crown it’s legal, and trying and missing isn’t a violation.

Nothing on the chick in green?

(10-21-2018, 08:24 PM)Captain Obvious Wrote: It's unnecessary roughness though which means it's not legal. Brown wasn't going anywhere. He didn't need to take that cheap shot. I guarantee you if he was a Steelers, the Bengals would be saying it was a cheap shot and should be suspended. It's a double standard.

(10-21-2018, 08:28 PM)michaelsean Wrote: Oh please. Again watch any game and count how many times a guy is hit going to the ground. You cant get out of your head that it was in the area of the head which doesn’t matter.
