Catfish Bob Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 He should have been cut after that wildcard game. That was the final straw imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB flops and Burfict should've been cut? And after he had a pick to put the game away. Only to have it fumbled away. Typical Catfish post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey? Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I voted that he would be traded. I believe that he could be cut. I was a Burfict fan because our defense needed a little nasty. But this guy is either hurt or making a stupid decision that hurts the team anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think the Burfict era should come to a close, but not sure if that's next season or not. We have literally garbage at all LB spots behind Burfict and Vigil. Maybe after we draft some replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Burfict was a shell of himself this past season. If he wants to retire because of the concussions that is ok. If he wants to play he needs to come to camp ready to play on day 1. Not out of shape, no suspensions, etc. If he can do that give him a chance. Any less than that cut him.

Yeah he has more talent than the world however he is a class A fuck up. Aka a loser. That is why everyone skipped over him in the draft. He's a idiot hot head.

After watching him last season, between the league beatdowns and injuries, I really have no idea if he has anything left. It makes me sad to watch, but if he's a shell of his former bad self, we need to move on. BTW.....he was the main reason we were in the driver's seat to win that nightmare of a stealer's playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalFanInTO Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I hope he’s cut but, I think he will be a Bengal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 If he is on the team, I hope that means he earned it. If he is not on the team, he is added to the long list of coulda, shoulda beens at LB. I would love it if he earns it, but I certainly won’t be holding my breath for it.

Unfortunately the games last 60. Burfict hasn’t played more than 11 games in a season since 2013 and hasn’t played the first 3 games of the season for 3 years due to suspension. And it is ludicrous to pretend Bryant flopped considering he wasn’t allowed to play the next week because of the concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to reluctantly agree after having the benefit of a few years to process and re-watch video. I think it was really more a case of "What the fuck?!?!?! What a FLOP by Brown, the Steelers are BAITING us!" as it happened in real time to destroy our tearful realization of our first playoff win since...forever. Then it....wasn't. It was ERASED. But Brown wasn't flopping, Burfict sent him home on the night-night bus and then we had fallout from our OTHER idiot defender that sealed the deal in that game talking about paying Brown a bet based on whether he could prove he was concussed or not. Jesus, I am glad that's gone, as talented and exciting as Jones was, especially as a PR. 2 hours ago, HOF dan said: I agree with this too. It's one of the many unknowns surrounding this team.

Partly because his style of play is no longer welcome (imagine him healthy in the 1980's playing for the Giants and doing blow with LT right before going out there to kill) due to the rules, and because of health. Whatever the reasons are, he just looks like a guy out there now. A guy that can't tackle even anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 $2M in dead money = Bengal in 2019. Because having a broken-down LB on the roster AND losing $2M is more acceptable than still losing $2M and not having a broken-down LB on your roster.. in Bengals FO math.

Catfish Bob Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The thing that still baffles me to this day is how Marv was even able to look at those two after that wildcard game. Let alone bring um both back for another season. If I was in marvs shoes security would've been escorting both of them out of the stadium in their pads. I wouldn't even of let them in that locker room. After everything he did for them, they chit down his throat. Yeah they played great for 59 minutes and were a huge part of us being in the lead. Their antics erased all of that. It was all for nothing. I wasted my Saturday night to see them mentally fold in the final seconds and show the world why they played for the Bengals. Why they would be out of the league if not for Marv. The most embarrassing moment in BENGALS history. More embarrassing than our beloved Palmer demanding to be let go. More embarrassing than akili Smith playing like chit. Dalton's lil sissy interception on the goal line and breaking his finger trying to tackle is a moot point when compared.

|High School Harry| Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 When we cut Burdock the Squeels will sign him before he clears out his locker and Andy is put on the endangered species list until he goes extinct in the first quarter of the first meet up with them. Probably in Pittsburgh. And Collinsworth creams his jeans gushing about "good ol' Stiller footbawwwl". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Simple logic that there are few bonafide LB's on the roster, would say that he should still be here. But since everything is mandated to be "fresh and new", even money is he won't be. That will probably depend on the DC, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 The collision has been hyped as something Jack Tatum used to deliver. Having it happen directly in front of me, I can tell you it had all the violence of what my old football coach used to call "The impact of two marshmallows". AB did a flop that would make Larry Bird envious. After the non-call of this past Sunday, I continue to shake my head in disbelief at the continued inconsistencies of this league.

That is just nonsense. He targeted his head, knocked him out of the rest of the game and he WASN'T CLEARED by PITTPUKE doctors to play the next playoff game. You really think the team doctors are going to sit their best offensive threat for a playoff game just to continue to pull the wool over Adam Jones' and Cincinnati Bengals fans? If he were faking, he would of gone back in the next play just like an Argentinian Soccer player. It doesn't matter you saw it live, I saw it 35 times from 5 different angles at real time and in slow motion over the next 5 minutes. The cold hard fact is Burfict has been physically hurting HIMSELF since the day he arrived. He has launched himself head first so many times I am surprise he and Ryan Shazier are not on the same wheelchair basketball team at the Y. How many games did he miss this year due to SELF INFLICTED concussions? He can't stay on the field and his play had digressed to the point that even when he in on the field he isn't very good. He had 33 tackles in 7 games this year, 16 were solo. He had 177 tackles, 115 of them solo in 2012 playing 16 games. He is a shell of his former self. Jack Tatum missed 6 games his first 10 years due to injury. Butkus missed 2 games his first 8 years. These guys were not diving head first into every tackle. They were smarter than that.

Le Tigre Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 You can give all of your multi-level analysis from the comfort of your TV, all you wish. My eyes (and ears for that matter) say it different. Having more than a few collisions on the field myself--I know what the sound of it is. He was up, smiling, and getting ready to trot off the field, when Joey Porter decided to "come out and check on (his) injured player". And, as far as "going back in for the next play"...there was no "next play"--other than the game-winning FG. Flop, plain and simple. Doesn't matter really--any more than game-killing non-calls for the Saints matter. The league will do what the league wants, and is the main reason why for many years I have ceased to look at it as a legitimate sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
