I believe the difference is that helmet to helmet hits are allowed when it's tackler/runner. They happen all the time. When Adrian Peterson and a defender meet, they lower their heads and bang into each other's heads. The problem in this case is that this hit was absolutely on the finest line between "He's a defenseless receiver!" and "He's a runner!" which results in a brutal fucking hit, but one that by the rules was probably not a penalty.

It's not a penalty, people don't know what they're talking about. It just looks bad because the hit earlier wasn't a penalty either, but was called one.

"headhunting"? lol
 
Yeah, Shazier is the scumbag bruhs

There doesn't only have to be one scumbag. Burfect is a known asshole, but Shazier dancing around like a clown after knocking a dude unconscious was scummy, and probably also pissed off the other team while your starting QB was still in the game. Good job, good effort, Shazier.

Nothing wrong with Burfict's hit.

It's a clean hit with an intention to hurt. He drove him into the ground with all of his weight. It is what it is though. You're going to have a chippy hard hitting games with two division opponents facing off in the playoffs.

The issue is the original call is fucking madness. The one thing that play can't be is an incomplete pass without a personal foul for that hit yet that's what they called. That should be enough to end this crew's postseason.

Fuck Ben is hurt...sorry Bionic and Steelers gaf. Also have to root for Cincy comeback now. Without Ben no chance you guys can win next week so KC vs Den and Cincy vs NE are the better matchups now.
