I watched Rosen (Buffalo) get a shot to the head yesterday from a Pats player, but there were fouls on both teams...offensive holding and the personal foul Rosen left the game for good as a result of the hit, but because of the holding call, the Pats didnt get penalized. IMO the personal foul for something like that should still be penalized with yardage difference (15 for PF- 10 for holding= 5 yds.) and should be automatic 1st down.
Had that been a hit on Brady, the player would have been ejected.

Not. Even. Close.

The hit on Peters was worse and if you watch some of those "Jacked Up" videos the NFL used to allow from ESPN, I think with Tom Jackson... yeah. Way worse hits have happened.

The hits on Peters and Rosen were egregious and if there are no fines/suspensions, I'll be upset.

Sorry, the Peters hit was bad but it wasnt worse than that. I'm not saying I've seen every hit ever, but that's the worst I've seen that I can recall anyway.

Doyle was totally defenseless and not going to go anywhere. Burfict went in with his head at his head. Burfict got what he deserved. Surprise any team went after him even the desperate Raidas. Can't imagine him getting another chance to play.
I couldn’t believe Doyle popped up as quick as he did.

No doubt. Can't believe he wasn't ejected for that hit it was blatant and removed the other team's QB in a close game.

Every time I turn around I hate the cheatriots more. How is that possible...

I guess character does matter after all.

Who knew?

Thankfully, our Rams have character when we're up and when we're down.

Go Rams!

i would say peters got the worst shot by far.

Having just watched all three, Allen I think got the worst hit. Peters got the most damaging hit definitely. That big ass dude absolutely crushed him, helmet to helmet and all that damn momentum. The angle on the Burfict hit was the worst, straight on, but I think the other two hits were worse.

Burfict is a thug, always has been always will be. He should be banned from the NFL before he really hurts someone.

Can you believe the cheats player wasn't fined for that helmet to helmet hit.
