More Cowbell Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The hit Jones made was possibly more flagrant because Allen was wrapped up and going down. Doyle was trying to get up and had not been touched. Granted, Burfict is a dirty player and he nearly ended Antonio Browns career but was Jones even suspended for one game but Burfict gets the 12 games? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache 51 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Here it is again, Geebus. We called it ''spearing'' back to PAL/POP Warner days. That word sums up the entire process. Don't know why that word changed. Locked, loaded and Bang. Someone is going to a die on the NFL football field some day. And he was a sitting duck too.

Football is violent sport at almost every level, some young people shouldn't play football. Do you still have to get a full physical before they play at any level, we did? Not that it is an answer, just curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother said the same thing to me last night. He works in medical sales and talks to doctors all the time. Players just get stronger and faster every year, so those impacts get gradually more severe, etc. I too remember the term "spearing," though I only played one year of football. I wonder too how much a sort of "highlight reel" mentality has increased over the years, with defenders more interested in getting a big hit rather than making an actual tackle. That's always been around to some extent, but perhaps more than ever today? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't even an accessed penalty on the play Allen was running, not sliding, Jones, and other scumbag were making a play, Jones lead with shoulder other defender draged Allen down to head level. It was literally a, forgive me, bang bang play, no time to adjust. Doyle's head was a tee'd up golfball. VB's eyes had to be down unless he can see through the top of his helmet. VB launched, lead with the crown of his helmet, text book spearing. Splitting hairs, maybe, but that's how I see the difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were taught as children to look at the belly button area ( cause it doesn't move), lock in, move forward, slide your head to a side of the other body, with feet on the ground drive forward will full force of a shoulder and drive opponent into the ground. I know Pro's aren't going to do that to a T, but fundamentals used to be preached in all the sports I played. 1972- 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't even an accessed penalty on the play Burfict's hit was a 9.5 on the dirtbag scale while Jones' hit was a 9.0. I hate that the NFL is turning into flag football but these plays have no part in the game. The reason Burfict was suspended for the remainder of the season is he has had multiple occurrences of intentional helmet to helmet hits on defenseless players and was warned that additional violations would be dealt with more severely. The reason that Jones wasn't suspended or even flagged is that he plays for the Cheats* - plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to ball carriers every game I believe defenseless is in the act of throwing or catching or kicking something like that in any case the 2 plays are not really comparable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burflict previous "record" is why they gave him 12 games. it will get reduced upon appeal. Jones should have gotten at least 2 games for his hit on Allen but it's the Pats so we all know how that plays into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't even an accessed penalty on the play I said this in another thread and was debating with @JiF about this. They were both bad hits and should have both been penalized. I think the biggest problem the NFL has right now is consistency....across the board. Whether it's uneven assessment and levying of fines and punishments for things like the above or just differences in how pass interference and offensive holding is called from game to game with different officiating crews, the NFL is not being uniform in how it handles things. Burfict has had something like 13 fines and suspensions, numerous warnings and letters over the years. How many times do you let a repeat drunk driver get back on the road? Is Burfict being made an example of? It looks like it. And, he should be. That doesn't change the fact that other guys committing the same type of foul for the first time shouldn't be punished as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats get suspended too, hard to believe The Cheats* get all kinds of preferential treatment, from critical 3rd and long in-completions that are turned into 1st downs at key game changing situations due to BS holding/PI calls. Their DB's hold, the OL holds and their WR's push off and commit OPI, not to mention the 'rub' plays that they never get called on. But the opposite happens all the time, the other team makes a key play and ****look**** for it - OH a penalty is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones led with his shoulder. Allen (now a RB) was the one who lowered his head. While the result was bad for Allen, there was absolutely nothing Jones could have, or should have, done differently. If Allen had slid, absolutely there would have been repercussions. However, Allen was fighting for that last yard. Jones made sure he didn't get it.
