NFL has no credibility and the officials are the worst in all professional sports.

Utter crap which they better get under control or there will be a riot at one of these games. You cannot have one team beating the hell out of an other team's players during the play or after whistle blows - like DeCastro on Burfict -while flagging the other team for similar or less egregious plays.

I would like to see the Head of Officials of NFL on TV with an aggressive reporter explain how Shazier's hit with his helmet outside the box as Gio turned was less vicious and harmful than Burfict leading with his pads on a receiver who intentionally put his head down.

Which one is more viscious isn't important.

The fact that it is the very definition of the crown of the helmet rule is the issue.

Their statement is that it was legal because "he didn't line him up".  Then how did he squarely hit a target whose motion was vertical?  It must have been the luckiest tackle in history, as he apparently wasn't aiming anywhere near him but managed to blow him up!
