Burfict still out

[cincygrad]

Over a month for a 'simple' knee scope.

Either the knee had structural damage or his concussions aren't under control and they don't want to discuss it with the media.

He'll end up retiring. The Bengals aren't allowed to have quality linebackers for more than a year or two before they end up ruined.

 

[Cincyfan78]

He's the Bengals Joey Votto....

If we don't have him come playoff time we have even less of a shot than we do now.

Who would've thought that when we extended the trio of Dunlap, Geno, and Burfict, that Dunlap would be the only reliable one of the three. In Dunlap's case that's usually about 5 plays a game.

Dunlap might be the best player on this team right now.

ah shucks, don't say that, we won't be able to sign him and still stay under the Bengals secret cap.

He's already signed...it's why MJ is over in Tampa putting up MVP numbers.

Yes, our run D and pass rush has been much improved without that bum.

Just because Johnson sucks in Tampa doesn't mean he wasn't extremely important here. Same with Collins. In fact Collins would look might nice on that line right now I think.

Tread lightly Tubbs..... Mentioning either Collins or Johnson gets people sensitive.

I liked Boom, but we just didn't really have a place for him here.

 

[cincygrad]

We couldn't keep Boom because Rex is friends with a kid with cancer.

 

[cincygrad]

In all honesty I liked Boom but didn't think we should keep him.... Peerman has been reliable in his role as a ST ace and neither were going to be carrying the ball much.

Our D has actually been playing pretty well without Burfict.

True..... I don't have PFF numbers or anything but Burfict didn't seem to be playing to his usual standard when he has been in the game.

True..... I don't have PFF numbers or anything but Burfict didn't seem to be playing to his usual standard when he has been in the game.

How many games has he really played, though? He's left at least 2 or 3 due to the concussions and then the knee thing (he did return, but had surgery the following week)...

I'd wager he may have only completely played in 1 or 2 games....

 

[alf8478]

He's had little to no impact this year.

Good thing we paid the man!
