First off, the angle of the "thrown elbow" wasnt going to cause any damage. Throwing and elbow, to cause damage, would need to be either thrown backwards, behind the player, or in a hook type manner. Bringing your arms upward, when making contact is not throwing an elbow.

Secondly, burfict is a dirty qunt, everyone knows that, but this was nothing out of the ordinary for any linebacker or safety. You are watching this through the "i hate burfict lens" and its shows.

Lastly, his own player got the worst of the hit. quit crying like a bitch cuz burfict assisted on a tackle

Are the Steelers more sensitive towards this guy? No question. He's taken out 2 of their star players so maybe they should be a little sensitive.

That said, if you're basing your comments on the one hit...the glancing blow against A. Brown and connected solid with Bates (his teammate)...you need to look deeper...there were several hits that from the camera lens...he appears to be head hunting. I grew up in the era where head hunting was part of the game so I'm not traumatized by these hits, but the game is trying to clean that up and he apparently is not getting the memo.

While I cannot stand that ahole Burfict since he was at ASU doin the same shit, I don't think that was an illegal hit on Brown.
Mean as shit, yes, but not illegal.

Didn't JuJu do the same thing to Burfict last year?

Juju did lay him out...hit him below the neck with a shoulder to the upper chest.

IMO that was a clean hit...it was a peel back block...standing over him and taunting him afterwards was not good....and I'll admit it as a fan...he wasn't hurt badly so yes, it was oh so good to see that happen to #55 of CIN particular.

It was an intentional and unnecessary thug play and the only intent was to inflict damage and he's a repeat offender. Sit him down. It's a tough enough game without that crap.

I thought the game was the cleanest it's been for awhile. I didn't see no dirty play from either side.

But then you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer either there Sport !!!!
