That tackle on bell that he got some much shit from Steelers fan for was as clean as they come.  He wasn't celebrating an injury.  He couldn't have known bell was hurt.  He was celebrating stopping a sure thing run.  Few players in the league could have made that stop.

That guy was awesome.  But he came with so much baggage and I was sick of it.  Yes hill fumbled.  And yes if he doesn't burficts might never have been back on the field.  But it doesn't matter.  The moment he took that shot on brown he ruined any thing he did for the team up to that point.  You have to play smarter then that period.

I won't forgive him for that moment.  I can't remember being as happy as a Bengals fan thinking we had won.  I blame burfict and Marvin Lewis for that.  Burfict for not being smarter as a veteran that should know better and Marvin for not telling hill to fall on the ball don't fight for an extra yard.  For not telling burfict hey keep it clean we need to get out of here with no penalties.

Good riddance to both of them.

But even that hit on Brown wasn't the penalty that killed us that night.  It was the Pacman penalty that did us in.  Why do people so conveniently forget that fact when they get on their soapbox?

Also, why is the need to condemn so strong as to carry over into the respect for Burfict thread?
