Knock off this yelling Karma at Burfict. It's a classless move. AB, it's baseless and classless, even though he laid you out to end your season 2 years ago.

You want to know why you don't yell karma? Because one of our players was taken off the field with no feeling in his legs.

That is why you don't act like a child, and enact karma when your best defender is laying on a table in a Cincinnati hospital, unable to move his legs.

Cincy is probably thinking the same thing about Shazier, since he is their villain, but I don't hear their players being childish about our injuries.

Cut the bullshit, because karma is a *****, and what goes around...
 
I don't ever recall Shazier intentionally hurting one of their guys and then after hearing him screaming in pain jumping up celebrating. Or hitting someone in the head knocking them out then calling them a faker. Or stepping on people in the pile, or kicking a player in the face.

I agree... once again this locker room says or does some stupid ****. No excuse for acting like that. Keep your damn mouth shut and get your business done and quit acting like you're in Jr High.

You act as if Burfdefect would twist somebody's ankle and intentionally try and injure him. Jon Gruden assures me that Burfdefect is the greatest living human being, since Mother Teresa passed on.
 
You play a game where the object is to knock people down and he got knocked down. I won't begrudge AB for what he said. Shazier's injury albeit scary was a fluke deal.

Burfict's KO was a beautiful, CLEAN, football play. After the dirty hits he's put on this team (Bell, AB, Ben), and that's hit(s) plural, the bully got punched in the mouth. That is indeed KARMA.

Don't forget about the **** he's done to other teams as well.

Man, I would swear that Juju laid a block on one of the nicest, most loving guys to ever play football. Isn't Burfect the same guy who ended Lev's season twice(celebrated it), knocked AB out of the playoffs, has had sooo many cheap shots against different NFL teams. Suspended and fined numerous times.

He was mental in college and has only gotten worse through out his career.
It's also reported that Burfect jumped up off the cart as soon as it left the field, AB took just as hard of a hit on the TD catch and was fine.

Sorry, not sorry he got laid out on a pretty close to legal block. Juju stood over him, BIG DEAL. He was excited and playing in the heat of the moment. Get over it, just like we had to when we watched Burfect celebrate Lev's injury on the sideline.
 
You really think AB has some compassion for Burfict. Really? AB feels like Burfict tried to kill him.
 
My thing is, by saying it where the public can here it, you add more fuel to the fire. It gives the NFL ammo to (incorrectly) state it was on purpose and try to suspend JuJu. THAT is why it is stupid to say.

It's football, it WAS on purpose. He was blocking! It just happened to be Burfect.
We've seen Juju light up other guys before. That was no different then AB getting hit helmet to helmet on the TD.

I probably said it wrong. I agree with you, it was a legal hit. What I meant was the league could use the "Karma" stuff to say the Steelers were head hunting. It's not true, but it's stupid to give them ammo.
 
I kind of agree that he shouldn't have said because no good will come of it, but I kind of love that he said it too. Let's face it, everyone's thinking it. And probably not just on our team either.
 
No... AB saying Karma was EXACTLY what was needed to be said.

Burfict has gone on record that AB flopped on that hit in the playoffs a couple of years ago, and carries that forward to this day. He targets players... every game.
His leadership rubs off on his teammates - witness Iloka's hit on AB on that touchdown.

JuJu made a clean move and it was only a penalty because he hit him higher than he should have and caught Burfict with a helmet to helmet hit. That's unfortunate, but I don't believe he was headhunting.

The taunt was unprofessional -- but JuJu is still the youngest player in the league. He has some growing up to do.

came back around when Juju told Burfdefect that his first name is "Mister"
as in "Mr. Juju to you."

This is the Cincy fan moment for Shazier being a dirty player to them. One interesting thing I noticed on the replay is Burfict running on the field to start **** after the play. That set up his reason to go mental the rest of the game:



You can't break this game down into tiny parts and forget about what came before it. We're still waiting to hear if Shazier can walk.

With all due respect, go **** yourself.

That classless ********** is an ankle twisting prick that has been dirty since day one. Jeezuz ******* Christ, if any of you ******* own Lambert jersies, you best be burning them, because you sure as **** don't deserve to wear them.

I happily wore my Lambert jersey last week. You know what I don't like? Getting your jollies off of another player's injury when one of yours is in traction. Grow up.

They could pull Burfdefects arm off and beat that ****** to death with it on the field, and I wouldn't care. There are a few players that I wouldn't shed a ******* tear for if they got inured, the current list goes Burfdefect, and Suh, years ago it would have been that dirty prick Rodney Harrison and that prick dlineman from the patsies who injured Staley (can't remember his name now, but we all knew he was a dirty prick). Vince ******* Wilfork (Looked it up)

I'm all grown up, and being such I get to make what I consider fair judgements on individual and what their behavior deserves. That prick has been nothing but classless, and I could care less if he gets injured. Is that simple enough for you? The second he starts to give a **** about if Ben or AB or any of our other players is ok after a hit is the second I give a **** about his health. He is a shitbag, and I don't give one single **** about him.

I loved the play of guys like Lloyd, Harrison, Lambert, etc, hard nosed, but not dirty, no knee twisting after the whistle ****.

Rob Gronkowski buries a guys head into the ground while he is laying on the ground. And the Steelers are the bad guys. That said the temperature of these games has to be reduced. The Bungholes safety went for ABs head. Someone is going to have a career ended.

+1000%

football plays to pouncing on a downed player. No comparison.
 
One thing I will say is that for those of us who have played full contact sports where there are grudge match situations you sometimes say stupid **** you shouldnt. Its emotion. The difference here is there is a camera recording everything.

Shazier being laid out was my single worst thing ever to watch as a Steeler fan. He is a hard hitter and a great competitor. Burfict is a grimey scumbag who looks to injure players. You want to talk like they are at all similar players?
Hitting is part of the game, if you don't like it go watch soccer.
Karma is a *****, *****

See, I can agree with this. I hate Burfdefect as well. Am I sad he got hurt? Not really. You think the league feels bad about it? I know the Browns, Ravens, Steelers, and Panthers fans have no problem with it knowing what he does after the play to intentionally injure players.

You named my favorite all time D players, who played hard within the rules. Ward as well is one of my all time favorites, and now the rules changed so JuJu can't 'Ward block' a player to the sidelines. Did the play excite me? yes. Was I amused when JuJu stood over him? Yes, for a moment. Burfict might have gotten what was coming to him, but here's the problem I have with Karma.

Shazier knocked out their RB in the Wild Card game, and AB was targeted. That target connected and AB's season was over, and as a result, we couldn't get past Denver the next week. Last night, Burfict was blasted by JuJu, and AB was again targeted. AB was earholed on a catch in the end zone, and that could have ended his season. That is the problem with Karma against the Bengals. Our team plays hard and hurts someone, then the Bengal players look to end seasons. Yelling Karma will only fuel the headhunting next year, and I don't think that's worth the career of the best WR or the best RB in the league, or for our future HOF QB.
