linebackers are suppose to be violent and mean its there job to hurt people...   I think we found a good one.

If Burfict were on the open market, NFL owners private jets would be flying into Lunken airport within hours attempting to sign Burfict. We need to embrace him like other fan bases unapologetically would.

Burfict has had some dirty plays. There's no denying that.

It's just up to him to learn. He's a great player, there's no doubt. But needs to do better in those situations.

Burfict is dirty...


Says the Beat Writers for the very teams that adored Harrison and Lewis.

Agreed.  He didn't do too much last year that I found to be exceptionally dirty.   I saw no twisting of extremities in piles or tickling of cajones.   Maybe the hit on the Baltimore rookie TE, and based on the reactions of the Steelers (especially DeCastro) he may have been spitting on the other players.

I'd like it if he cut out the stupid stuff, but I love him as a linebacker.  And all this whoha about him celebrating Bell's injury is just bull jive.   He was celebrating the stop.   I'm pretty sure he had no knowledge of the injury at that point.  It was not an ugly hit like Shazier's hit on Gio - which he definitely celebrated.

He's smart and hit's hard.  Glad he plays for us.

He's instinctive and hits hard.
Football 'smarts', yes.
He needs to control his emotions.

Some guy claims part of being a good RB is staying healthy (referring to Bell).

Some Steeler responds with this "thats because that thug on the bengals needs his brains blown out"

DAYUM lol the hate runs deep.

I've read similar from Cincy fans. People need to step back and realize it's just a game.
