Vontaze Burfict was the best player on the field Saturday night. He's probably the best player on the Bengals. You can call it dirty, but I see a player who plays hard, and with no restraint. Sure he could reel some of it in, but if that were to make him less of a player than he is now, then I'm against it. He's never done anything on the field that I've never seen before, and never been in any trouble off of it. If he would have eased off, and Brown would have caught that pass (it would have gone 6), there would be even more bitching than there is now.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Jeremy Hill lost the game. One job and he didn't do it.
Understand you're angry and venting and stuff, but you really need to see the reality of it all. He had one penalty last night that came after Jeremy Hill fumbled the game away.
Agreed.

NEW RULE: A ban on a ball carrier initiating contact with the crown of his helmet in the open field or by a defender while making a tackle.
What the rule changes: A 15-yard penalty will be called if a runner or a tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players clearly are outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle-to-tackle and from 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or a tackler against an opponent would not be deemed a foul.

There isn't a question as to whether or not Bernard was outside of the tackle box. He clearly was.
I stand corrected! Salute
Wasn't aware of that rule change
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.

Burfict will likely be out of the league within 2-year, either by injuring himself leading with his head or getting kicked out for his behavior.

Cincy jungle had a tweet today that Burfict had a pre-appeal meeting in NY?(wherever NFL offices are located). The tweet also said Marvin was with him... They said the actual appeal is in two weeks.
I think having Marvin with him is a big deal. Your head coach, and a longtime competition committee member is big, I would think.

Agree 100%.
