LB in the game. Dude has rare tackling ability and fire and passion for the game that not many players have.

Your probably right about the steeler thing and I still hate as much as I hate all the celebrated dirty Steelers of the past.

Everyone was down on Adam for what he did, everyone. But of course Jeremy lost the game in the end.

Just had to hold onto the ball.

BTW, we wouldn't of even been close to winning that game without Burfict playing his ass off. He almost willed us
to our first Playoff game in 25+ years, the only player i have seen do that and you hate the guy it seems. Crazy.

I don’t disagree with any of this but that hit on ab was risky and unessassary and the team paid the price legal or not. And I did state in my previous post I don’t think we had a chance to win that game without his heroics earlier in the game. But it’s a microcosm of his roll in general. For all the passion and talent his seems to find a way to blow it as often as he does something amazing.

I read somewhere and I apologize that I can remember or provide a source that the bengals are 19-15-1 when he’s on the field and 16-12 when he’s not. If he makes the defense so much beter whenhes out there then why is it not reflected in the record. Also wow that’s a lot of missed games. His presence even if it’s true that he makes the defense around him better doesn’t really matter if he’s not reliable to make it in game day. I would think that would really mess up assignments and cause too many shifts in responsibility’s of the players around him. You need to be in the trenches as it were day in and day out with guys you know you can rely on and predict what they are going to do.

I don’t fault anyone for loving the guy if that’s your thing but I want to see this team turn things around including there rep. Pac man and burfict are/we’re seriously talented guys that clearly know and love playing this game but man do they know how to spoil any good will they might earn. Until this team can win something that matters no one outside Cincinnati will see them as hardnosed players but only as thugs.
