They lost Jamaal Charles the week after the Bengals game.  

I think it is kind of funny how you actually made the point that there wasn't a big difference in the teams that the Bengals played before Burfict and after his return, yet the Bengals didn't lose a game without him.  You want to say "look at the stats", or "watch the games", but the reality of it is the Bengals defense played VERY WELL without Burfict.  

When you make statements about how the Bengals defense only played well "one quarter" against the Seahawks and you also make statements about how the Raiders had a second year QB with a rookie WR and other excuses, it makes you look like you are just making stuff up to support your argument.  And let's not forget that the games you are giving him full credit for making such a huge difference, he didn't play anywhere near to all the snaps.  

The Bengals defense was playing very well without Burfict.  I love the guy.  He is a difference maker, but to try and make it sound like they sucked without him is just not factual.  

lol you do realize when you give some context into how much points they scored against the Texans, Broncos, and Packers it makes that argument look silly, right? Against the Texans the Chiefs defense gave their offense the ball in the red zone multiple times, and against the Broncos there was a pick 6 and a fumble that put the chiefs near the goal line. Their offense really didn't do much in those games, and their defense helped them out a ton. Then you act like the Packers have some kind of good defense. They're a mediocre defense.

How is that making things up? They did only play good against the Seahawks for one quarter, and the Raiders were working with a 2nd year QB with a rookie WR in his first game.

If you can't see how much better the Bengals defense is with Burfict then I don't know what to tell you. I guess just pay more attention to what's happening.
