Burfict reminds me of Jack Tatum

burfict sure does bring memories of Tatum from the 1970s
Tatum was a natural dirty player who was good at playing dirty until he paralyzed stingley
Tatum and Atkinson both targeted Lynn swan and knocked him out twice
Hated them just as I hate Burfict now

 

I do remember those Raider teams. They sort of prided themselves on playing dirty. I would have loved to see Heinz Ward in his prime go against that raider secondary.

 

Who

 

Yeah, the Raiders had some rough jokers back then. Don't forget about Hayes and Haynes, they were equally as bad. Hated em.

 

It reminds me of this image, but I think it was the other Raiders safety, Atkinson, who laid out Swann this time.

 

Burfict reminds me of a steamy pile of elephant dung.. Like the resemblance is striking

 

Tatum dropped guys like they just got shot. Burfict is nowhere close to the hitter he was.

 

You know what they say in Cincinnati ... nobody's Burfict!

 

Buttfart is hurt!!! He got issued some of his own medicine!!! Loser!!!

 

I think he means Hines Ketchup.

 

Different era.. This day in age, he's just repeatedly hurting his team and can't seem to stop himself. Yeah, he would have probably been revered years ago... As much as we all hate him.

 

That thread title is insulting ... to Jack Tatum.

 

The ony similarities is the dirty part....Tatum was the way better player...Fat Boy looks fat and out of shape

 

The whole league was that way back in the 70's. The Steel Curtain wasn't a bunch of choir boys.

Mel Blount would destroy people. Much of today's pass interference calls became to light, because Mel Blount destroying WR's before they even had a chance to catch the ball.

Lambert, Greene. Them boys could be nasty. Greene toned it down from his early years. Early on he was a dirty dude at times, just watch the old game tape.

The whole league used to think Hines Ward was a dirty player too, but we all loved him. Because he wore black and gold. But, we would call Hines dirty if he were playing on the opposing team I'm sure.

 

He is still at it: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...ground/ar-BBOHvVx?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout

 

saw that live, last night. he was just aweful last night, both his play and his antics. bengals should just send him down the road, but they seem to think he is great, or something.

 

Yep. Clubbed him the back of the head away from the play. The Raiders were indeed the, "criminal element."

 

Watch the highlight video at the top of that article and you will see Burfict getting routinely worked, rarely even in the play, and often not even trying to get back into the play. Several times I saw him watch from a few feet away as his teammates made gang tackles. I don't think he is the player he once was and I expect that as his skills continue to diminish he will not handle it well and we can expect his frustration to lead to even more dirty crap. His time in the league is coming to an end one way or another. What we really need is for him to pull some dirty **** on a league golden boy. Then they might actually come down on him like he deserves.

 

What kind of drugs are there in Cincinnati? They started a Go fund me page for his fines and now the owner is claiming his fine was excessive and unfair....

Tatum could play; Atkinson was a stooge. Burfict was a serviceable NFL linebacker at one time, now he's a sick joke. I watched most of the KC/Cincy game last night, and The Terrible Owl's observations are spot on. #55 in black and orange was a non-factor, then went out early in the fourth with an apparent hip injury. I honestly thought that he was probably faking it to avoid the rest of the slaughter. Stick a fork in the Bungles, they are done.

 

I was the biggest Burfict guy on this board since he was in college. But even I have seen enough. His next suspension should be for the year.

HACK

 

They didn't call Tatum "The Assassin" for nothing! He was dirty but, more than just dirty. He could play! Burfict is dirty just to be dirty!
