So based on this at a minimum he was not the same Burfict for 6 of our 16 games (4 missed and 2 not ready 100%)

True, but my thought is..  Why in the hell are we all arguing about a player that we all love?  We all know what he can do.  The fact that he's in top shape is only a great thing for the Bengals, and us, the fans. 

However, in retrospect, the suspension may have been a blessing, allowing Burfict to fully heal, once and for all.  Sure, he was fat and out of shape, but the dude sure knew how to play football.
