The fact of the matter is, he's the type of player that if he's on your side you love and if he's not you hate him. No different than steelers and Harrison or the lions/dolphins with suh. I hate/hated suh, but would I have been like a kid in a candy store if the bengals nabbed him in free agency? Hell yeah I would have. Not to say the trait HAS to be had to be good but most of the players that have the nasty/dirty streak in them are difference makers. And because of that, most of them are embraced by the home team. Right or wrong, that's the way it is, and it's not changing anytime soon.
Burfict was on the Steelers' side last game, and I'm thankful for his game winning performance he had for us. Bengal fans can pretend to rationalize it into a positive (somehow), but the Bengals lost a playoff game that they had clinched against your most hated rival, and Birthdefect was part of the sequence to ruin it. There's no moral victory and you know you were cheering for Bosewell to shank that kick - assuming you had the courage to watch the play or hadn't already accepted the fate.
