Bengals have a .603 winning percentage when Burfict plays (40-26-2) and it is only .571 without him (16-12)

Every single season except one ('15) when Burfict has missed games the Bengals have a higher winning percentage with him playing than without.  And that 15 season record is very deceiving because in the games without Burfict we allowed 20.3 pts and 370.7, but when he played the numbers dropped to 15.7 and 322.9.

If anyone doesn't notice the man's presence on the field they are insane.

Geno is great too, just something about being a Linebacker...

Love how Burfict flies around. Really fun to watch.

Thanks Fred, great stuff.

I had an argument i think with Brownshoe on who helps the team more when they are on the field.

I was arguing for Geno, Brownshoe was arguing for Burfict. Believe Brownshoe won that argument.

I would think Geno can be game planned around easier than Burfict, double teams and what not. Not much you can do about an elite LB.

Until we have a replacement for Burfinct, ............ Burfinct ..........IS the man.

Burfict can read Offenses, that is the deal really.

Don't know of many LB's that can read Offenses and tackle like he can.

Thought Luke Kuechly might of been just as good but than the concussions happened.

Burfict when in the game is the best LB'er in the league right now IMO.
