 F**k him and Pitt.

No thanks, I have the feeling I would be unclean after that and I have been able to stay clean for 49 years.  I choose better partners than Bell or Pitt.

Welp, looks like we catch a bit of a break for the opener: Jets Sheldon Richardon is suspended too.

If memory serves, didn't we go through this last year?  Didn't Burfict miss 6 games to start the year last season as well?  I think we did ok in those games and I think we are better prepared this year for the absence than last.   Not at all worried, just looking for the games to start.

Burfict throws his body around.  A 3 game vacation is only going to save him some dings.

I obviously would rather him be there for the first three games, but can't say as I'm very concerned either.
We are in a good spot and if this saves him some wear and tear early on, so be it.

There are a lot more players than him that deserve the three game suspension.

Personally, I just think he needs to be smarter with his play.
I love his aggressiveness, but I'm one of those that felt that hit on Antonio Brown was foul on Burfict's part at the end of the playoff game.
Like I said though, not concerned about the first 3 games.
