My first thought after the hit was that if it was Burfict who made it all we would have heard about is how it was a center who had the ball and they were obviously going to go no where and he could have simply wrapped him up and brought him to the ground instead of hitting him with the clear intent to injure. Goodell is looking into the hit and Burfict will be suspended for at least 10 games.

I would never wish an injury on a someone who doesn't play for Pittsburgh, but I couldn't be the only one hoping Watt knocked Bodine out for the rest of the year, right? Nothing major. Nothing that would negatively impact Bodine for years to come, but just enough to keep him from playing another snap this year.

Burfict would have been fined and suspended.
Shazier gets $25k for hitting a sliding, defenseless QB while Burfict gets five games ( reduced to three) hitting someone in the middle of the field during a play straight up and not using his helmet or hitting the player in the head.
Here is one of the problems with the Bengals- why didn't they go ballistic about Burfict's suspension???
No emotion, no passion. Punch the clock, lay low, and collect the money.

No, it just put the explanation point on the game and season so far.
