A while back Burfict predicted this would happen. He told reporters the league is forcing guys to go low in order to not get flagged. He even said it's the "cowards way" of tackling but what other choice does he have to avoid being flagged and fined? The league penalizes defenders for hitting anywhere around the neck, shoulders and head so players will start aiming low. Is Burfict right? Maybe. I mean the NFL has made it abundantly clear they are going to avoid concussions at all costs so that leaves the target area to hit someone lower on the body. Not condoning VB here either, just playing devils advocate and he actually does make a point. You are going to see more and more knees get messed up because of the way the NFL is forcing players to tackle.

Vontaze Burfict's low hit on Martellus Bennett's knees was bound to happen
How is that not interference or illegal contact?

How many people has Burfect allowed to get fired solely because he wasn't man enough to own up to his actions??
I see you tell others they don't read so well. Obviously neither do you you. TRAFFIC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Steeler fans have more right to be a Burfict hater than anyone. He ws the one who took out Levon Bell's knee the first time and he also took out Antonio Brown's knee.

I'd like to be hired as a one play sub in the NFL. I'd go in for play, find Burfict and snap kick him in the side of his knee. Done.

Was clearly dirty, but what was with Gronk taking umbrage with anyone who tackled him that?

Gronk said he never saw the hit on Bennett.

But he was upset when Adam Jones low tackled him too very soon afterwards.

That's when Burfict jumped in and tried to amp things up.

I'm wondering how he expects a CB to tackle a TE?

And then he jumped up jawing at someone on another play for no reason at all.

The old inflammatory head bob - the horror. According to Gronk, he said nothing, just bobbed his head.

The penalty probably cost them a TD here (had to settle for a FG) - you can bet Belichick let him have it after the game.

The league put an emphasis on taunting. The officials are taking it to a whole new level. Personally they're taking it way too far. Players jaw jacking is part of the game. It's not like standing over a dude and dancing. Just like spygate was to BB, Gronk was wrong. He got flagged, ass chewed by BB and teamates. This vid shows the end of it. The cheap shotting and smack talk started much earlier.

Kind of looked like he slipped or tripped but because of his past dirtiness, I can see why he deserves to be punched in the gullet.
