Burfict Looked Great - BFritz21 - 11-30-2015
Am I wrong or did Burfict look damn good today?
Seemed like he was all over the field and finished 7 tackles (6 solo), which was second only to Kirk.
Great thing is he is only going to get better as he recovers more, but I was impressed with his play.
Anybody else think he played as good as I think he did?

I think he played better than you did.

Yeah, but Brad came up big when it mattered.

It's definitely when you bring it.

What if I told you burfict was underage Brad

I think Burfict's presence is as much about him making calls as his actual play. You could see him pointing things out, making adjustments, and then the play gets blown up. Dude just knows the game. But you are right, Brad, we are so lucky to have him back.

I agree, and the defense also seems to have more energy and be more alert about what they're doing when he's in the game.
He's the quarterback of this defense and they all seem to rally around him, like they're playing on another level.
Vontaze's play was BURFICT!
We have a hell of a defense, especially with Burfict!
RE: Burfict Looked Great - Utts - 11-30-2015
Didn't he log (2) personal fouls today?
The guy is one of the best period, but I'd like to see him learn to better control his fits of rage. Maybe you can't have the best of Tez, without the worst of Tez? I dunno.

Was one play down when they were backed up deep in their own territory and he looked to get an attitude with a guy and a bit of shoving. I got freaked out.

Burfict did look great, but if anyone deserved a thread it was Geno Atkins. He blew up their entire line the entire game. Insanely good.

Yeah, I think it was a 3rd and long when Peko made a great play on a screen to the RB, but Tez blew up an Olineman a bit after the tackle. It was close, but the refs threw the flag, erased Peko's TFL and gave the Rams 15 and a 1st down. He draws those penalties because of his history.

With you there....I stated as much in the game ball thread. He was unstoppable.

Yep.
Another player does that, no flags.
It's a shame because Burfict gets a bad rap despite not being a very dirty player. He has his moments, but overall the refs just have it out for him.
At the same time, without his hard hitting, he wouldn't be the player we know and love. So I think you just have to take the Referee target on his back along with his incredible and physical play.
A lot of the great linebackers were flag magnets. That's what it takes to be an intimidator in the middle of the field.

Yeah, that one was a little questionable. Any other LB does that and there's no flag.

Burfict needs to accept the fact that he has to be a choirboy 100% of the time or he will get flagged for things other players wouldn't. It's a raw deal, but, he did bring some of it on himself.

I disagree. If he could do that while keeping the same intensity, sure. But I'm not sure that's possible. He plays with a fire that is incredibly rare, and I don't think we want to dampen it.

Not sure I agree with that. I think he easily earns most of his penalties. I don't disagree that he probably gets greater scrutiny bc of his history, but that's his own fault.
RE: Burfict Looked Great - Housh - 11-30-2015
Idc how he's played honestly
Seeing him play for 3 straight games at full go is what I'm thankful for

Nope, not very dirty at all...
