Burfict and the phantom roughing

[BengalsRocker]

Let's rewind it a bit.

Back to when Burfict made the legal tackle on Bell that also injured him.

Did he, or did he not, commit a penalty or go outside a football play in doing so?

No, he did not.

Were there people around the league that flung it on the pile of the "dastardly deeds" he has committed.

Yes... they sure as hell do!

You can't substantiate a point when those sort of plays are put in the discussion.

It's absolutely laughable that past actions/penalties skew reality from play to play in the NFL.

Total bullshit. Real time rules are meant for singular plays. Not past infractions by a player.

Only league suspensions/fines should be susceptible of a player's catalog of NFL infractions.

NOT singular plays which could affect the outcome of a game.

It ruins the validity of the actual sport.
