    Bengals' Vontaze Burfict facing 5-game suspension

    Kick this dirt bag out of the league!


    Boy Scout and role model to football fans everywhere, Vontaze Burfict is facing a five game suspension, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The discipline stems from a hit Burfict laid out on Kansas City Chiefs’ fulback Anthony Sherman in the preseason.

    They are going to suspend him for that hit? That's probably one of his cleanest hits. I'm not saying they shouldn't suspend him, but why not suspend for the vicious hits and dirty tactics that he displayed last year?

    It’s also worth reminding you he was on track to become the Bengals’ captain. Again
    Of course he is

    Of course over at Jungle Noise, they are blaming conspiracies. Maybe two posters over there think Burfict should go. The rest are blaming the league and the Steelers. Simpletons

    It is obvious that Burfict did not understand.

    Burfict should be suspended more often after his hit against Roethlisberger and Bennett last year.

    I do not know if his hit against the chiefs were dirty or not, although the chiefs player had not the ball, but for his historic, Burfict deserved this suspension.

    It's worth 1 or 2 games, but because of history they jacked up the penalty. I think a $150k fine should be added too.

    That is a "legal" hit, but it's still a dirty cheap shot on a player who isn't even involved in the play. That's the kind of shit that Burfict is known for and why he's getting suspended. He always goes out of his way to deliver a cheap shot to a player who isn't even involved in the play and doesn't see him. He's a POS.
    I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play!- Jack Lambert

    That was perfectly legal, but reputation supercedes the benefit of the doubt.

    If Greg Williams can receive an indefinite suspension for "Pay for Play" as the DC, surely the player that plays like he's getting paid extra to injure others fits the same category. Agree with all, he needs to go.

    Marvin Lewis still enabling Burfict's behavior

    "In my opinion Vontaze has changed,' Lewis said. "He's learned, he's changed....

    "Sometimes in interpretation things got lost, and hopefully Vontaze will prevail," Lewis said.

    That's good for the Steelers and the rest of the league.

    The Bengals will forever be undisciplined and mentally soft as long as Marvin is in the booth. If Marvin didn't get canned after his team completely lost their shit in the wildcard game, he sure isn't getting canned standing behind his powder keg linebacker.

    Which is more likely, Marvin retires/gets fired with zero playoff wins or Marvin is the coach who enabled a player that eventually killed someone on the field. Heck, if it wasn't so morbib it that would probably be a prop bet in Vegas. Pathetic really.

    “It’s always like that. It’s always like that,” he said. “I see other linebackers do the same thing I do but obviously they don’t get called for it. It’s always like that. It’s been like that since I can remember.”
    That said, when Burfict was asked flat-out if he was going to change the way he played, he didn’t blink.

    “Nope.”

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...als/618583001/

    Since Burfict clearly is not going to change, someone is going to take out his knee - too bad one of the games Burfict will miss is the Ravens game since the Ravens loathe Burfict as much as the Steelers do and might administer some frontier justice

    No better way to teach him a lesson than reduce his suspension to the same number of games he started with last year

    He will probably pickup another suspension this season, rather sooner than later.

    I just hope he is suspended when we play them because else he might injure AB or Bell. Again.
