Burfict and the phantom roughing

Unfortunately, I don't think he's capable of cleaning it up, especially when things are going poorly. If this team plays out the season at .500 or worse, my prediction is he winds up suspended for a full season or worse, depending on the infraction. He doesn't handle adversity well. If things are going poorly, he's going to get frustrated, and it will manifest itself in a heinous penalty. 

All the Burfict apologists are huge hypocrites. If he were on any other team, you'd hate his guts. Huge talent, could be the best in the league, if it wasn't for his inability to control those impulses.

Define cleaning it up as it applies to the play in question ?

"Unneccesary roughness #55 Bengals - he hit the opposing player a little to hard, legal hit just a little to hard. Based on his past this is a 15 yard penalty automatic first down. If it had been any other Bengal it would have been ok."

That's ok with you ?
