Without question, if Burfict played for any other team, all of you would be talking about how dirty he is. Especially if he played for a division rival. I like the guy. I like the fire, emotion, and intensity he plays with. I just want him to be smart about it and stop hurting the team. He literally helped cost the Bengals 2 games last year including the playoff game. Those mental lapses just cannot happen. Burfict seems to enjoy being considered dirty. In interviews, he obviously doesn't get it though. He never takes responsibility. He plays the victim. He can't be the victim and relish in his dirty reputation at the same time.
I don't want the guy to change who he is, I want him to be smarter, be professional, and play within the rules. The overwhelming majority of players in the NFL do it.
The nut tap and the ankle twist were dirty, but to say he is dirty is painting with a broad brush IMHO.
So is saying he cost us 2 games last year including the playoff game, all of which we would of not been in without him.
