With complaints mounting regarding the play of Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict in Sunday's 37-37 tie against the Carolina Panthers, the NFL is set to launch an investigation. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the league will take a closer look at whether the Pro Bowl defender attempted to injure Panthers players in Week 6:

 

As seen in these images courtesy of Panthers photographer Jeremy Igo, Burfict appeared to twist Olsen's ankle after making a tackle:

Olsen just a baby. Lost all respect for the Panthers.

We don't need your respect. Your respect isn't worth the dirt on a turd

 

As a Panthers fan, I'm not so sure Burfict was trying to intentionally hurt them. I've seen a lot of guys on other teams make tackles like that. They usually start mid level then if they can't get them down as they are sliding off they twist the legs to trip them up. I don't know, even if he did do it on purpose I'm not sure you can prove it.

Fines wont work.... lose of games will.  Otherwise players wont care, to them it will just be the cost of doing business.  They will trade a pittance of their millions to take a star player out any day of the week.    All the people who are not bothered by this, wonder how they will feel when its one of their star players are out due to something like this.  The Panthers got lucky this time, but that does not mean Burfit then gets a pass.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
