Kick to the head of Roosevelt Nix.

if he gets suspended for that he might as well retire......the NFL needs to worry about their image as opposed to what VB is doing every game

ESPN made up bullshit.

This situation doesn't look like it will amount to anything.

Many of you seem to think there's a conspiracy against the Bengals/Burfict. I think this text from the NFL policy explains why/how Burfict has achieved his high degree of scrutiny, and lowered tolerance threshold.


"A player who is a repeat offender should expect more severe discipline, and fines third offenses and beyond in the same season or based on prior seasons' violations will be established on a case-by-case basis, and may increase substantially."

That's probably a fine but not a suspension.

It's time we start calling Burfict out for playing stupid...and not defending him by pointing to what other players in the league does.

45 seconds into the game. Seriously. What the heck? I mean on the one hand it doesn't look like much but...why do it at all?

What? He didn't do anything wrong there the guy was pushing after the play was over and Vontaz had to get him away.

Burfict has to stop doing this stuff. Whether the NFL has it out for him or not is irrelevant at this point.

Lmao if they're going to put him under that much of a microscope (because that type of "get off me" behavior happens 20 times a game for every team), then he really should consider retirement. Of course, ESPN is the CNN/Fox News of sports so theres that.

Agreed.

I love Burfict's fire, passion and killer instinct. I just wish he would cut out the nonsense after plays.

You don't kick a guy like that no matter what. Especially with his history of suspension.

As fans we need to stop making excuses for his out of control play. I have serious doubts if we can ever win with him.

Well, Tez himself said that there was a target on his back.

If he truly believes that, then the after-the-play stuff is even more head scratching. Why take that chance?

I'm a huge Tez fan, but he's got to clean that part of his game up.

Exactly. And as fans we have to stop making excuses for him. He's earned his bad reputation and he needs to take responsibility and clean it up.

Yep, that was total BS and a filthy, if very spontaneous move.  However, that was what...3 or 4 seasons ago?  I'd bet my left nut if Brown did that every few weeks he'd be suspended.

No reason whatsoever Burfict should be kicking people. I also heard that he refused to shake hands with any of the Steelers at mid field when the captains were meeting.

It's a love/hate thing with Burfict. Just wish he would cut the stupid crap and just play football.

Dude....come on...

Ref was right there he didn't see anything wrong with it.

It's hard to win with players who make stupid plays regularly.
