Burfict Changed?

[Whatever]

I have an issue with it, because Adam Jones has already shown us what happens when you push an opposing team's assistant coach in a high stakes game.  Burfict will, rightly or wrongly, be under a microscope as long as he's a Bengal.  The zebras will be looking for any reason to throw a flag on him, especially against Pittsburgh and Baltimore.  In that game  situation, what should be a 15 yard penalty on the opposition for a coach on the field gets turned into a slam dunk 15 yard penalty on us when he shoves him.  That's a 30 yard swing in field position and an automatic 1st down for the offense because Burfict can't keep his cool.  Sure, the other team instigated it, but at some point, you have to learn to quit taking the bait.
