The Real Official wildcard game 2 *** Steeler Vs Bengals *** (2 Viewers)

[Bad_Mo]

How strong is mccaron's arm?

Bit weaker than his wife's arm apparently

 

[Yenrub]

How does Marvin Lewis keep his job after this? Oh wait, Mike Brown...

I wouldn't mind seeing him coach the Giants

 

[Mello]

Enjoy your patty-cake flag "football" kids.

Why would anyone think that hit by Burfict should be legal?

Just dumb to even think that should be allowed.

I guess we were just all ####in insane for almost 100 years.

We were...when we didn't understand head injuries and their impact and former players all with CTE and dying younger than they should.

Add in multi million $$ lawsuits...and of course the NFL is not going to want to allow that.

Watch UFC if you want more violence.

I want to watch football. I don't enjoy grappling. I enjoy teams of people fighting to move the ball down the field. Not this offense fest where the defense is expected to just let a player go over the middle of the field and not hurt them. #### our stupid legal system that reduces all of us to the lowest common demonminaator and doesn't allow anyone to take any risks. Again, enjoy the patty-cake flag "football" and your superior morality for protecting players from themselves.

15 yard penalty because Antonio Brown took a page out of Wheaton's book and lowered his head into a defender

and then another 15 because the refs may have left Boswell just a little out of range

has to be

 

[Drunken Poster]

Hard to tell a Cincy fan from a Philly fan recently

 

[JackReacher]

So Jones did it or not? Not able to watch

 

[treat88]

Cinci is a hell of a team with some truly classy players.

Pac Man and Burfict aren't amongst them.

you're a ducking moron. Hits like that are the reason the nfl could lose billions. Not their fault Burfict wants to take cheap shots.

 

[BigJohn]

Hardest game I've ever watched as a Bengals fan. Steelers didn't earn a damn thing tonight.

 

[rascal]

Worst playoff loss ever

 

[RBM]

Hope they fire Marvin

Will never happen IMO.

Nice coach but 0-7 in playoffs means you can't get it done in big spots. Fire Lewis, promote Huge Action

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

I like that the team with James Harrison and Joey Porter were the grown ups.

Kind of crazy, but they sure were.

The only problem with this is Shaziers hit on Hill is legal.

I agree...as I said earlier...should show that as how not to tackle.

Dangerous for Shazier as much as it was for Gio.

Could have ended his own career hitting like that.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Disgraceful performance by the Bengals down the stretch. That hit on Brown was one of the dirtiest I have ever seen. Throw that thug out of the league.

 

[dschuler]

If Pitt makes those penalties, there wouldn't be a flag and everyone would say just let the players decide at the end of the game. Cincy gets two personal fouls, and the reception is the opposite.

 

[stbugs]

Love how Burfict is a thug but Shazier is Man of the year. #### all of you.

I think Shazier gets fined, but he was tackling a runner in a a live game play. There is no penalty for helmet to helmet on a runner. His sideline actions clearly show he is a thug and a doosh, but it was legal. Burfict took Brown's head off after the play was done, clearly incomplete and that is a personal foul on a defenseless receiver. Hence the penalty. Both were correct calls by the refs, pure and simple.

 

[flapgreen]

I watched replay over and over. Still can't see where the second personal foul was.

He ran over and pushed Porter lol

Why was Porter out there? I still barely seen it. What a bunch of #####es this league is made up of now

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Still have no clue what Jones did to get a penalty

You missed the replay. Literally grabbed Porter by the shirt and shoved him.

so??? Porter shouldn't have even been on the field. He's not a trainer, not an offensive coach, he wasn't around Brown, he was in the middle of group of Bengals running his mouth. People get literally grabbed by the shirt and shoved all the time during a football game...people who are supposed to be on the field.

 

[Willie Neslon]

How'd he get in locker room?

 

[The Jerk]

Burfict is a thug. Only blame for the refs is for not throwing him out earlier.

Cincinnati may have won if the refs had tossed him earlier.

 

[irish eyes]

Love how Burfict is a thug but Shazier is Man of the year. #### all of you.

Really dude you are clueless just stop. Idioit

Learn how to spell check you buffoon. Both were completely illegal hits to the head.

Check the rules BUFFOON, shazier was a legal tackle.

 

[Pipes]

the officials gave pitt this one

No they didn't. I hate Pittsburgh and like AJ Green, loved the offense taking the game. Burfict being his classless self lost the game, pure and simple. The refs made calls they are supposed to make. Clearly incomplete to Brown and Burfict knew it. He head hunted trying to take out Brown and his pee sized brain didn't even think of the impact of his action putting Pittsburgh into FG range and then Pacman becomes Pacman.

The Burfict penalty was legit I think the penalty on Pac Man was BS especially with Porter out there running his mouth.

 

[belljr]

So Jones did it or not? Not able to watch

Jones did push Porter. Now why he was there is a different argument. Players were taunting both benches all game

 

[Franknbeans]

Im so glad Burfict decided to come back out of the tunnel after he intercepted the pass so he can screw up the game.

 

[stbugs]

I watched replay over and over. Still can't see where the second personal foul was.

They showed one angle where there was some jawing and Jones came flying in from the side and bumped into the group of refs. The ref who got hit from behind threw the flag.

 

[bosoxs45]

Did anyone catch Pacman Jones crying on the Bengals sideline?

 

[Insein]

"22 seconds left and they need about 14 yards to get into FG range. Going to be tough for Pitt with no TOs."

2 15 yard personal fouls on the next play. Problem solved.

 

[fred_1_15301]

The boner the NFL has had for Pitt over the last fifteen years has been incredible

 

[The Kerminator]

I guess Tomlin will sleep easy after challenging that fumble.

Yeah he definitely got bailed out.

 

[belljr]

Boswell makes the 50yd easy

 

[tangfoot]

Hardest game I've ever watched as a Bengals fan. Steelers didn't earn a damn thing tonight.

Not even when they were up 15-0?

Yep. Bernard wasn't defenseless, Brown was. End of the story per the current NFL rules.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Time for Marvin to go.

Fine time for them to "get a hold of the game".

 

[The Jerk]

And what is the risk of Ben taking a snap, moving to wherever and taking a knee...then spiking to take the clock down to almost nothing?

Why leave time on the clock?

A false start on the spike would be a 10 second runoff and end the game.

 

[scottybo]

Rough game, but how does a head coach not at least attempt to get his players out of harms way. Every single coach should be off that sideline and pulling players back away from temptation.

 

[dschuler]

Did anyone catch Pacman Jones crying on the Bengals sideline?

Yeah, tough guy

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Hard to tell a Cincy fan from a Philly fan recently

Lol. I haven't been following this thread, but if they are saying anything other than "Holy F, our team just completely F'd ourselves" then yeah, they are delusional.

 

[Politician Spock]

Hardest game I've ever watched as a Bengals fan. Steelers didn't earn a damn thing tonight.

NFL should say both teams lost and just give NE another bye next week.

 

[beef]

damn, bommer is pissed

 

[Jethro Q. Walrustitty]

I agree with everyone who said, "Wow, that was the craziest #### I've seen in a long time." And also the guys who said "Ben Willisreedlisberger?"

 

[Bad_Mo]

Ok cowher you slack jawed idiot

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Surprised to see Cowher and Esiason calling for Lewis' head.

 

[dschuler]

Time for Marvin to go.

+1

 

[Drunken Poster]

Boomoer and all of CBS calling for Burfict's head

 

[ShamrockPride]

Idk. I feel like the Brown hit wasn't as bad as people think. It did seem like an attempt at the ball in real time, but with Burficts history and anytime you make such solid contact with the head, you won't get any benefit of the doubt.

 

[dschuler]

Ok cowher you slack jawed idiot

I hate listening to him, especially on a Pitt game

[Bigboy10182000]

Damn genius of the Steelers

"Joey head out there and talk some #### to them and see if we can get an extra 15!"

 

[Wingnut]

Trippy.
