So this is what I was talking about in the Gronk thread earlier. Regardless of whether that was before or after the whistle, that's every bit as bad as what Gronk did, then he stood over him and reveled in his awesome knock-out hit.

That is worse than Gronk.
He stood over the guy like a piece of garbage.

NFL needs to look in the mirror at this game. Monday night and it's terribly reffed, potentially affecting the outcome, and there's dirty hits every other play.

I hear you, VE. You’re right. Do you remember how bad that hit Burfict put in Brown and there was another one in that game. Just saying Burfict has been a very dirty player.

He hasn't been ejected because the fucking NFL hasn't adopted the college rule. In fact, if he didn't stand over him, and get the taunting call, he wouldn't be on the "first step" to an ejection, because the illegal hit isn't an "unsportsmanlike penalty" and you need two unsportsmanlike penalties to get ejected. The taunting was an unsportsmanlike so he's at least on the first step. The NFL has nobody to blame but themselves.

deep inside Guido territory
It wasn't a head shot but it's an illegal crack back block. Those used to be popular on toss plays but no more. The reverse angle had JuJu's head across Burfict's chest barely making contact with his chin. But the blind blocks are very dangerous.

Huh? I thought JuJu's helmet hit Burfict square in the facemask.

It's to prevent a team from gaining an advantage on a foul. Let's say that was 4th down. You don't want them to gain a 1st down illegally and benefit from it.
Doesnt matter here. Steelers would have converted first and 50.
