Raiders LB Vontez Burfict facing a possible season long suspension

On Sunday night, we pointed out that Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict could be suspended for his illegal hit on Colts tight end Jack Doyle even though Burfict was ejected. Reportedly, Burfict will be suspended for the hit.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL, the league office likely will suspend Burfict today for lowering his helmet and ramming it into Doyle’s helmet.
Burfict has a long history of suspensions for various infractions, but his three illegal hits from 2018 — which drew fines in excess of $165,000 — will factor most significantly into a decision to suspend him.
The league office decided not to suspend Burfict after a couple of illegal hits against the Steelers last October due to concerns that, if the suspension were overturned on appeal, an impression would be created in 32 locker rooms that the league office is overreaching. This time around, the league seems to be willing to roll the dice that the neutral, independent arbitrators will agree that it’s time for Burfict to take a seat, for Sunday’s game against the Bears or longer.

Vontaze Burfict will appeal any suspension. He had a 5-game suspensión reduced by a neutral arbitrator in 2017. League’s job is to discipline and, in effect, send a message regardless of appeal.

Should be lifelong

Good. He's a piece of shite. Anything Antonio brown did this last year or so should be blamed on him too.

It was just reported on ESPN radio that he is in fact suspended for the remainder of the season

I was hoping he was going to have more air time on Hard Knocks

That was a dirty tackle and the sort of thing that can cause lifetime issues.
Burfict does that regularly. I don't wish injury on anyone, but if he got banned from the NFL tomorrow, I'd be good with it. From head hunting to twisting ankles in piles, Burfict has been intentionally trying to hurt people for a while.

Bye.
I’d probably object to such a suspension if it were anyone other than Burfict, who has a lengthy history of dirty hits, fines, and suspensions from the NFL.
The league is attempting to minimize certain types of hits and he isn’t getting the message, so it needs to be explained to him.

NFL is a joke.
Season ending suspension? For play on the field.
They act like he murdered his girlfriend and robbed a 7-Eleven.

BurFuct is the only player in any sport I’ve ever wished injury on. I hope if/when he ever comes back, someone takes his bitch arse out.

Fine the owners if you really want this shite to stop
Posted on 9/30/19 at 8:53 pm to sicboy
Stupid. Yeah he’s a pos but no precedent for arbitrary suspension. I also hate raiders
