If the Bengals are the AFC contender in sB50, BUrfict is damn going to be playing this year. Not saying we can't get there without him, but there is no way he is going to allow a bowl win without his participation. Think of it like a Kam Chancellor breakup fumble at the end, one timely sack, one timely tackle. Or one timely roughing the passer penalty, you never know with that guy, lol.

All indications are he is moving well on the rehab field. I don't know if he is back for Pittsburgh but I have every expectation he is back this year. People act like the micro fracture is a death sentence, it may have used to be, but Revis has been doing fine since then and there are plenty other examples of people who have come back. If he hadn't been running and cutting for sometime up until this point I'd be worried but he has been moving pretty actively for two or three months now. I'll be honest the concussions still scare me far more than the knee.

Actually, he has been running/moving now for about 6 months. He will be back this year and I anticipate he will be fine as he rounds into football shape. I do agree about the concussions and hope the doctors and trainers and coaches have watched film of his tackling so he does not concuss himself as he has done in the past. ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png)

Late in the game, well after they took Rey off on the cart, there was a shot of Rey on the sidelines (still in uniform) late in the 4th. If his injury was anything serious he'd of been in the trainer's room/on the way to the hospital, or at the minimum he'd of been in street clothes. Rey should be fine.

I do know he was right there on the Dunlap sack. Typical Rex Ryan team = no discipline. Put it this way: If Pacman has to tell you you're out of control...you're probably a Rex Ryan goon taunting him.

I realize that you only look at the times your team doesn't get a call and forget to look at the times when the other team doesn't get a call, but yeah, I saw Geno get his jersey yanked twice and Dunlap's jersey was yanked on the TD pass right before the half.

I've been on the tempered expectations for Burfict all year. Look at the history of this organization and how they handle injuries. We might see Burfict because I truly believe he wants to be out there, but lets be realistic. I highly doubt we see him until the last 25% of the year. Remember, the Bengals have until week 11 to activate him off PUP...and another 3 weeks (week 14) to put him on the 53-man roster. It's possible they hold out as long as they can without needing him...and he doesn't play until the last 3 or 4 games.
Those wanting to see him in week 8 or week 9 are living in another reality. I'll bet he isn't even practicing by then.

I'm not saying he won't play this year, I'm saying he is probably not going to play at his usual level. It would be very unique for a player to go onto a football field after the surgeries he had, and not be tentative about the knee. Not to mention the rust on his game. I think he will be back to his usual self...but it will probably be next year.

Both MJ & VR walked out of the stadium carrying their own bags. What does it mean? Who knows, other than treatment. But yeah, VR returned to the sideline with his helmet, but he was never going to go back in. Unless something really odd happens here today after swelling goes down, etc., I would expect both to be good to go in Pitt.

He looks pretty good here, taking some reps before the Buffalo game....

I like waiting as long as possible for a couple reasons: We are 6-0, and I'm sure someone goes on IR between week 8 and week 13--opening up up a roster spot, so we don't have to cut anyone to activate him on the 53. The idea that we're going into our bye with a few minor injuries to heal up is great. I don't care for the play of our linebackers this season, and Burfict does put us over the top. But, it's best to be cautious with serious injuries. To be ready for the playoffs (when we really want all hands on deck), all Burfict needs is a couple games to get into mid-season form.

Thank you....Vinnie has done very admirably calling the defense this year...even made a game sealing play. I was more worried about him than MJ....due to him being carted off and an already thin LB corps. I'd hate to lose either....but it seemed to me that Vinnie would be the biggest detriment due to his calling the defense. Had I seen him return to the sideline , I wouldn't have been as concerned.

Atkins wasn't a world beater until almost 2 years removed from his injury. Burfict hasn't played football in over a year. Even if his knee is in great shape, I'd expect it would take a while for him to be in game shape and trust it fully. And Whitworth is an offensive lineman. He isn't running around all over the place. I would love for Burfict to come back 100% because we could use him. Just think we are fooling ourselves to expect him to come back like nothing ever happened. (At least not this year.)
