I get the ejection and a fine because he's very much a repeat offender....
Maybe a 3-5 game suspension. But the entire season? BS. He plays dirty but he's not a felon or child beater....
Naturally he'll appeal. But even if he wins odds are he's going to miss probably half the season.

Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.
calling him a repeat offender is frankly a gross understatement, Burfict's had a 3-5 game suspensions in each of the last 3 seasons and he has a rap sheet going back to HIGH SCHOOL, at some point you have to send a message
Yikes! If the Deadskins continue stinking on wheat like they did yesterday, Gruden won't make it past next Sunday, never mind last until November 10th.
Meanwhile, can't say I'm surprised Vontaze Burfict was shitcanned for the rest of the season. The guy's a thug and a serial headhunter, good riddance to bad rubbish. To be honest, Derek Barnett from my Eagles should've been suspended for his hit on Green Bay RB Jamaal Williams last Thursday night, that was as egregious as they came.

Yep. Being tackled from behind, going down, then the other defender smashed him in the side of the head, helmet to helmet. I was surprised he managed to hold onto the ball, let alone walk off the field. Worst thing, is that it was "off-setting fouls" and not even an attempt to look at targeting.

I have no problem with this. Fine those other guys? Fine. Even suspend them? If you look at it and it seems egregious enough give 'em a game. I wouldn't flip out over it. I'm not seeing a double standard with Burfict's season long suspension though because he's a career-offender. The habitual nature of his offenses matter.
Frankly I think just this season is too lenient. He just shouldn't be in the league period.

The funny thing is he was only at Arizona State University because Matt Barkley told USC he was a dirty player in High School, so he's literally been doing this kind of stuff at every possible stage of the game

Anywhere comparing the Jones hit on Allen with Burfict didn’t watch the play. Jones slows down and lets up while turning
His shoulder into Allen to try to avoid the contact. Meanwhile Allen is still running forward and puts his head down to ensure the contact. That’s on Allen.
For the record Allen is 6”5 and Jones is 5”10. That’s a 7 inch difference. The only way helmet to helmet happens is if the taller player is lowering his head (the thing you are NOT supposed to do).
Bad to worse in Denver, turns out Bradley Chubb tore his ACL yesterday. Played on it in the second half but today's MRI revealed it. Out for the year. Look out Miami, someone else is coming for that #1!

Reports on Trubisky's injury are starting to leak out...
It's his left shoulder, so won't affect his throwing, but will still take some tile to heal.An MRI on the injured shoulder of Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky revealed that he has a dislocated left shoulder with a slight labrum tear, but he does not need surgery, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter Monday.
A source said that the QB should be back "sooner rather than later." Trubisky will travel with the team to London for its game against the Raiders but is unlikely to play.
