Cincy's Burfict was fined $112,000 for his unsportsmanlike and unnecessary roughness hits against the Steelers last Sunday. The hits on Brown and Connor bring his total fines in 5 years to $415,637. Why wasn't he suspended?

$193K of his $415K in fines came against the Steelers!

Hey - It's a start.

But what about the rest of the crew? Like the Line Judge on the other end of the line of scrimmage who is also watching for offsides and false starts

How about last night's officials missing calls ... that unsportsmanlike on the field goal that let to a Miami TD ... can't hit the long snapper in the head or neck, I get that, but how is it a penalty when he stands up and you are shoulder to shoulder ... commentators and rules guy agreed that was bad. And the "Incomplete" pass that the Texans ran back for a TD and had it taken away ... yes, Osweiler's hand was going forward, but the ball went backward because he was trying to hold onto it and pull it down ... we was clearly NOT trying to pass it. Again, all but the overturning official agreed ... bad calls. Have been a lot of them this year, and the crown of the head rule makes it even harder ...

Yup, the zebras have been extremely inconsistant...

Geting tougher to determine what's legal and what's not anymore...
