This is about Burfict's history of issues as much as this particular play. If this was another player it would have been a fine.

This sort of thing could turn Burfict into an angry man who lashes out at others.

1. It's a new rule this year. You can be a defenseless receiver even within 5 yds of the Los.
2. Punishments grow in severity with multiple offenses. Burficts history is the reason it's so harsh. 3. It doesn't look like something that warrants a suspension IMO. Personal foul flag should be enough. But Burfict is one step closer to being out of the league, so I'm fine with it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk |
ESPN defending him saying Alex Smith's pump fake caused it & it wasn't as bad as it looked.
I'm through with ESPN. |

Burfict's helmet hits Sherman's facemask and maybe even the temporal area of Sherman's helmet, which is the area most likely to result in concussion on direct impact.
If all teams were also told that there would be an emphasis on excessive hits to defenseless receivers within 5 of LOS, it was pretty clear that Burfict knew he was hitting Sherman without Sherman seeing it coming. If the pass was to Sherman, Burfict could have prevented completion very easily or even if a completion, a 1-2 yard gain. It was a clear aggressor helmet shell to other player's headgear during a decleater hit. If Burfict goes lower, maybe no suspension. Fact that helmet shell hit headgear means appeal could only reduce number of games, no way appeal oveturns suspension decision. |

NO
[QUOTE=-King-;13041962]Is this illegal too?
No it's not. Pushing whith the hands is different than leading with the shoulder. And Burfict wasn't within 5 yards as you keep saying, it was 6-7. Not a big difference, but changes the rules. |

considering burfict has a history, it's plausible five games is warranted. :D
