That 2013-15 era was my favorite in 20 years of being a fan. Such complete teams
My God. The ripple on the time continuum this hit caused. No one was ever the same again
Vontaze Burfict for DC?
I don’t care what people say. Vontaze is one of my all time favorite Bengals. And I don’t think this was a dirty hit! It always looked like he was trying to slow down to me.
But that was also when the Bengals got the distinction of playing dirty just like the Steelers. But the Steelers coasted on getting treated with kid gloves.
I miss that.
Ravens fan here. Whole of AFCN defense is a shadow of what it was. Take garret away from the browns and they are equally as mid as the rest of us.
Now it’s
Can we get Marvin or Zimmer to replace Duke? They sure knew how to draft.
Burfict didn’t hit him hard enough.
The Bengals eliminated themselves from the playoffs that year. Is there possibly a plan C?
I wish I knew to savor being known as the nasty defense when it was happening more.
I will never be offended by someone calling the Bengals dirty again. I’ve learned that the soft crap that we see each Sunday is a million times worse than people thinking they’re going over the top. Ideally you’d see top ranked and clean, but I have to choose, give me a nasty defense that toes / crosses the line over this heap of trash.
Burfict will always be my all time favorite defensive player. He just played in the wrong era.

I’m so sick of hearing about how he was dirty. Yeah this play sucked and everyone points to it because of AB losing his mind. But let’s ignore that the Steelers broke [not 1](https://youtu.be/8QmrQySukr4?si=0VYMY_6fHVAHXLI0) but [2 different](https://youtu.be/XIO1bDFJ4PE?si=WQih9WVtirgEeZI7) Bengals players’ jaws.
We need a whole lot of that “too much” right now.
This team could use a 55
