Yeah, that game was a mess. Burfict earned his fines. The disappointment for me comes from understanding not nearly enough fines will be levied in this game...
The league should have fallen on all of the threats and trash talk before Sunday. Once the league failed, it was really on the refs to drop the hammer. They should have ejected Mitchell for the headhunting right away, and thrown 20 flags on both teams in the first quarter. They didn't, and the resulting game was about as unprofessional as the league has seen in years.
