I've been watching the Steelers Bengals game and he already has 2 penalties- including a blatant roughing the passer. Being a constant penalty machine can't be helpful to the defense.

They have spent all game talking about how the bengals are pieces of shite and yet the steelers have like 3 times as many penalty yards

Holding and pass interference doesn't make you a piece of shite. Spearing other dudes in the head does.

Because you want him to walk the fine line to get the most out of him. You just hope he doesn't cross over more than he does. He will have games like today where he will hurt your chances, but he'll have 4 others where he will make the game for you

It's 2 to 2 in personal fouls but just keep believing whatever you want to believe

Because he's a good player, simple as that.

Burfict has a history of shite like this. His reputation is warranted, similar to Ndamukong Suh in Detroit or Nick Fairley at Auburn. Burfict literally cost the Bengals a playoff game last year because he couldn't help himself when the opportunity to take a cheap shot at Antonio Brown presented itself.

Accidentally grabbing a facemask during a sack does not equate to blantantly chasing down a QB and slamming him to the ground seconds after he handed it off.

Yeah we get it. Nothing the steelers do equates to what the bengals do.

He didn't slam him to the ground, and Roethlisberger was carrying out a fake.

It was actually a weak flag.

He's a huge piece of shite but he's one of the best inside linebackers in the league. 95% of the time he's impactful in a positive way so you deal with the other 5.

Burfict was the only reason they were in that game.

When he got knocked the frick out earlier in the game by a pulling guard, it was funny when he was pushing the team doctors off of him when they were helping him off the field. It looked like they had a good laugh about it on the sidelines. I bet he's a tPOS to everybody, not just opponents.

It doesn't when we're talking about Burfict. I cant believe people are defending him. He's been a PF machine since college

Best D player in the league. I loved how butthurt everyone got at him last year during the playoff game. I was the only one cheering for a ref timeout so we could have an actual fight.

Dude hurt the main offensive trio for the steelers in two game. It was epic to watch.
