The Pats:
Brady - Suspended 4 games
ROb NInkovitch - 4 games
Cowboys:
Zeke - 6 Games
Hardy
McClain, Gregory, Randall, Evans - All Suspended

In Fact - Over the last 4 years - the Bengals are no where close to the top 10 in games lost via suspension - Even with two morons named jones and Burfict on the team.
Guess who is in the top 10 for games lost via suspension?
Steelers - 8th
Clev- 3rd
Balt- 2nd
Yet, our fans want to blame the refs, the nfl, the media. Lol. The team is a laughingstock So are the players. It's not complicated
Suspended for using drugs which is actually outlined in the CBA for exactly how many games each offense is worth.
That is not even comparing the same type of suspensions at all.
Burfict is being given a random number at the commish's leisure that he feels like tossing out. Only thing you stated in all of those numbers that is worth anything is that a guy who was involved in cheating in the playoffs is suspended for less time than a guy who made a football play. Maybe people have forgotten over the years, but when you went across the middle starting in pop warner, you were told to keep your head on a swivel and look out for the LBs who would try to knock you on your ass and off your route. So, Burfict jacks a dude up with a hit to the chest, a hit that guys who are enshrined in Canton and the league still runs highlights of made every single snap. That hit, a football play is worse than doing something that cheats the game and affects the integrity of it. I think your numbers prove the point.
