"Waah! Those dirty Bengals bumped into our player!" 

Even Dan Fouts who would never give the Bengals the benefit of the doubt if it could possibly spin it to a negative said that Burfict was falling as he hit Bennett.

If you don't think he went after his knee deliberately, you're either blind or a total homer.  If somebody did that to AJ, you'd scream bloody murder.

Burfict looks like he's playing at about 270+ this season, maybe he just can't stop himself once he commits. All that mass in motion.

And who are you that I should care about your opinion?  Oh, that's right, you're the guy I just had to explain the entire play to.

Even Gronk was full of shit in his post game comments talking about how Tez and Pac-man try and bait players into stuff....when the play didn't even involve either of them because he was taunting Clark-Harris after the catch!!

Someone should flood this douche bag's Twitter account with Vine's of what really happened!!

Yeah....I found it comical when he said "all was doing was bobbing my head".....pppfffttttt!!!!!  You could see him jawing on TV!  I mean....they had Pat Simms ready to fight.  I think that's the first time I've seen him involved in stuff after the whistle.

......maybe...maybe not.  But Cutler said Burfict sought him out and apologized about it.  Burfict himself said before the season that this is the way the league is forcing aggressive players to play with all of the penalties for going high.

It's funny that a beat writer for a team who has employed two players (Stallworth and Hernandez) who have directly ended people's lives is calling us "classless".

Self awareness at its finest.

[OrlandoBengal]

Obviously, this is true homerism at its finest. Assuming it is true, am I the only one bothered by the Bengals laughing and joking in the locker room though? You just got your asses handed to you, are now 2-4 on the season, and you're joking after the game? I have played and coached a lot of sports, obviously not professional, but even amateurs are upset right after a big loss.

[*jason*]

I liked the last line of the article the best. It says "is there any team the Patriots would rather see in January in Gillette? (about Cincinnati)" Be careful what you wish for. Big Ben, Leveon Bell, and Antonio Brown can testify.

[reuben.ahmed]

Dude just put Gronk and Burfict in an MMA cage and see who wins. I don't give a **** about classless. That panzy Gronk would run for his life and quit bullying the smallest player on our team (Dre).

They ***** cheat, get away with it, and also get caught. That's pure class. Burfict would put Gronk out of commission. You call them classless, they will act like it, and you will see what classless means.

Reminds me of the Derek Anderson interview. But it bothers me too, I would be effing pissed. Someone is used to losing. Sometimes humor is used to make light of it all though. 


I don't think Marvin or Andy have it in them to be mean. That's how some people lead, be nice to everyone. But he occasionally needs to rip into people, I have no idea if he does or not. Even the best need to hear it, "Quit bobbling the ball AJ". Just go up and down the offensive line and ask them how we're supposed to win if he has only 1.5 seconds to throw the ball. Short, terse.

Dre Kirkpatrick could probably beat dat ass.

I've seen people laugh after a funeral. So it's certainly OK to laugh after a football game. If something's funny laugh at it. It doesn't mean they don't care. Wasn't there a thread meant to talk us off the ledge last week entitled "It's Just a Game"?

Nobody has an issue with the fact he made contact.  The issue is he dove at the guy's knee for no reason.  If he was playing through the play, the logical play would have been to wrap up from behind and try to rake the ball out and force an incompletion.  

[Millhouse]

Wow, I actually agreed with the article overall. Maybe could have reworded the title differently though, but yeah. Also I wonder if this part is really true? If it is, then I have no hope for this team.

"Then, in the locker room, after blowing leads of 7-3 and 14-10, there was laughing and giggling and joking in the vicinity of Jones and Kirkpatrick. Finding new ways to lose in Cincinnati must really be entertaining and hilarious.

If Jones were a true leader, he would've told everyone to shut up, stay quiet, answer questions and get out. There's nothing to celebrate about 2-4. Someone else could've stepped forward. Quarterback Andy Dalton, who watched as his offensive line sacrificed him to the Patriots defense in the second half, just got dressed as the Bengals players carried on without a care in the world."

[reuben.ahmed]

We won't win a superbowl with Andy acting like that. They're waiting to be punished. Zero accountability. Clocking in, clocking out, gimmie that paycheck. Comon Dalton. Sometimes it takes a while for people to realize you don't have to be friends with those you work with, and you can still be mean and be friends.

If that nice PC Andy shown in interviews is how he is in the locker room (which we can assume is still the same Dalton), we won't win. Can we please see this guy get pissed off?

The one time he got pushed back (didn't fall) and almost got sacked in the endzone in Dallas, he got mad. He got up, threw the ball done and looked at the sideline. He was either getting mad at the ref, or the Bengals coaches. Dude snapped the ball and dallas was on him immediately. He needs to look at his teammates.

[bengalguy71]

I couldn't care less what perception the media has, except for this.

Since we don't have a HC whose personality allows him to get in the refs ear, like Burfict did yesterday after the taunt, which is why I think the refs felt pressured to finally throw a flag, this media garbage may feed the already biased calls against the Bengals, by the refs.

Working out today, or even maybe the plane ride home, I would agree, but not in the locker room right after.
