1. Burfict's hit was both stupid and unnecessary, but it wasn't dirty.
2. JJSS's hit was necessary but it, like Burfict's, was illegal, but it wasn't dirty either. Standing over top of a guy is both illegal and douchetastic.
Both hits were nearly identical, yet here you are, trying to say Burfict's was somehow worse.
You should attempt to extract
your head from your ass once in a while, at least.
One hit was from behind...one was dead on. JuJu's hit the helmet, illegal. The NFL said Burfict's hit the helmet, illegal.
One, as you say was necessary as he was blocking for the runner. The other was away from the play and added on to Burfict's body of "work".
Even the NFL said the taunting was not the reason for the suspension:

Troy Vincent says taunting was NOT a factor in decision to suspend Smith-Schuster.

"It was the act of" the hit that drew penalty. Added he doesn't think league is sending mixed message by granting Iloka's appeal on suspension for helmet-to-helmet hit.
That's not even looking at the other hit that was they admit was retaliatory that was clearly a head shot that the suspension appeal was won.
Maybe fans are more upset about another come from behind loss to the Steelers than this one hit.
