Not at the table Karlos Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) How in the hell does anyone thing this is a cheap shot? Not even close. Perfect block. Cheap shot... lmfao what a joke. Great block juju. 39 minutes ago, GG said: The hit was illegal. But not undeserved. How was it illegal? They were facing each other no helmet to helmet he hit him square in the chest. Legal hit. Great job by the rookie the blocker is moving toward his own end line; and he approaches the opponent from behind or from the side. Note: If the near shoulder of the blocker contacts the front of his opponent’s body, the “peel back” block is legal. Player was moving towards sidelines not endlines. He hit him in the numbers.

Burfict s face mask hit the back of juju s shoulder pads when he was jolted back. bull **** call besides the taunting. Great block 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I didn't see it live but from watching the replay it doesn't look like much of a cheap shot. Burfict was close enough to the runner that he should be blocked, JUJU led with the shoulder. Just because it was an aggresive hit now it's a penalty? This wasn't a Warren Sapp type of peel back block. I think Shazier leading with his head and then the vicious hit on Mixon were more noteworthy. Those guys are tackling with intent to injure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the lack of reaction to both the Landry hit on Williams and now the Gronk hit I think it confirms that the Bills are soft. I know there are differing opinions about how to handle dirty plays but I am in the camp of standing up for your self and team. The lack of reaction, IMO, strikes to one of the main problems with this team, no heart or edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chugga Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I never like to see anyone get hurt but that hit is one of the many reasons as to why the Steelers are a strong every single year and these bills teams have been pushed around for nearing two decades. Anyone that knows the history knows Burfict has been a thorn in the Steelers sides for years now with illegal hits, after the whistle plays, etc. Every steeler knows his name and a rookie fresh off his college campus knows the hatred to have for this team and this guy. So what do they does he do his first opportunity to do something about it he absolutely lays him out. Gronk will get a free pass, Landry is still enjoying his free pass. Hell someone might even exchange jerseys with those two after games. But the Steelers play with an edge and they remember that above all else you fight to defend your team. We haven’t had that since the 90s. Seemingly every coach we’ve had these last twenty years preaches brotherhood and family but how much does that actually play out on the field. I’ve never seen a team so undisciplined when it matters but so phenomenally disciplined when someone wrongs one of their teammates and they are so quick to casually ask the ref for help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burfict s face mask hit the back of juju s shoulder pads when he was jolted back. bull **** call besides the taunting. Great block At first I thought that the contact was not helmet to helmet and that JuJu made contact with his shoulder in the upper chest area. Had that been the case it would have been a legal block. I saw another replay that showed that it was indeed helmet to helmet - and therefore illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 It did again point out how stupid the rules are. He had TWO 15 yard penalties on that play, one for the hit, and one for the taunting, but instead of 30 yards, nope, one penalty is declined, one is accepted. In the Gronk incident, there were two calls against the Patriots, one against the Bills so... it offsets?? WTH! The NFL should have a higher respect for the ref's math skills and change the rules here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) If it happened to any other player I would be more outraged about it. Burfict has made a career of being a dirty player so I don't mind it as much. Edited December 5, 2017 by The Wiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Am I wrong for wanting this,At least,for Gronk on Xmas Eve? I'm sorry, he could have put Tre White out of the game forever, risked his personal life altering, I still want retaliation, Gronks hit was way more dirty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry next week That's right. Finish Gronk for good next time we see them.

But, the Buffalo teams cannot allow these types of malicious hits, regardless of what the NHL/NFL does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
