Bengals fans on Burflict twists

[Captain Morgan]

most call him a dirty player

 

 

Did anyone else notice Burfict trying to twist Newtons ankle after that TD? Maybe thats why the refs target Burfict so much. Is he really a dirty player under the pile?

----------

It was a super dirty play and he deserves a fine for it. No room for trying to intentionally hurt someone

--------------

Classless. He did it to Olsen too, after Olsen scored on him. There's no place for it. He deserves a large fine.

------------

Mentioned this in my recap... SIMPLY NO PLACE FOR THIS ON THIS TEAM. PLAY THE RIGHT WAY...He tried it on Olsen too... Zimmer would have kicked his tail for this...

Marvin has got to get control of this young man. His deamons from Arizona St are rising..

SIMPLY UNCALLED FOR..

 

-----------------

 

 

Here are some more good videos on it. Clearly dirty. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and of course those who defend him....

 

 

Not sure I see what the fuss is about here. They were tackled. Burfict had leg during the tackle. Even looking at the videos, he's underneath Cam on His TD. Cam tries to kick him. I think this is mountains out of molehills. 

Fines? For what? A play that wasn't even flagged?

 

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

I don't endorse being dirty. But what Burfict displayed is a common tackling style against players who are larger than you. You wrap them up low and twist.

 

 

-----------------------------

 

 

The way the refs where handing out flags yesterday. It must not have been that bad, and they focus on Burfict.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and this made me lol

um...I would have had to join that board just to comment on the Pro Bowl mention.

[Black]

I was browsing some of their boards earlier.  The easiest way to look at it is if your franchise QB, and Pro Bowl caliber tight end had the same thing happen to them, you would be outraged.  If Dalton was coming off of an ankle surgery, and a player with an already bad reputation targeted that ankle after a play, you wouldn't say "It's football, I like when guys play with intensity", like some of their fans have argued. 

 

I was glad to see the majority of the posts I read agreed that he needed to be penalized. 

[hepcat]

At least they know he's dirty and aren't defending him.  #catbros

[philp]

don't worry, he'll be fined $7000

that's a slap on the wrist... the saints should have set the tone for these types of actions.

[KintnerBoy]

That'll teach him.

I hope per toe x 2

 

[Paa Langfart]

Guys like burfic call for heavy hitters like Mitchell to reciprocate the pain.  Legally of course.

Espn comments are horrible. Calling Greg a cry baby. They should walk a mile in his shoes.

[Ship]

If I were an offensive player I would go out of my way to drop dudes like him Smitty on Von Miller style every chance I get.

[CamMoon]

Vontaze Burfict. Arizona State's finest.

[CelibatePimp]

Lol, is their coach serious?

 

 

When asked about Burfict's antics on Sunday, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis laughed it off and likened the accusations to professional wrestling.

"No, I don't have any comment on it," Lewis said laughing. "Ankle wrenching? That sounds like the WWF."

 

[Raskle]

If that's a confirmed comment, then I have lost any and all respect for Lewis. If one of my team members was alleged to have been trying to physically injure someone, I would never laugh it off and make a stupid, flippant comment like that.

 

 

That's just backing up the classless attitude displayed yesterday. What a jackass.
