I am Loving the Speed

(06-15-2017, 06:39 PM)masterpanthera_t Wrote: For the most part I've never understood the "thug" team stigma, and how that label was applied to Burfict.  Sure, there were stupid plays like twisting Newton's ankles and the groin punch.  They were completely stupid things which thankfully didn't have serious consequences.  I could see that as a young player not understanding how to draw attention to himself in all the unnecessary ways.  Any talk of hurting Bell, in my opinion was a gross overexaggeration, especially relative to the blind eye by the media to the same type of antics from the Steelers against the Bengals and other teams.  But I do wish Burfict would be smarter about understanding what type of microscope he is under and how stupid and dangerous plays like lunging at Bennett's knees would hurt his cause.  

As far as Jones, the less said the better.  I wish he was cut already.  

But having said all that, if the Bengals win a Super Bowl, and become regular contenders, the media will be singing praises, and "thuggery" will turn into "tough, hard-nosed winning football".  And pretty soon, the bandwagon will be ready to burst from all the jumpers.

Great post!

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
