The Real Official wildcard game 2 *** Steeler Vs Bengals *** (1 Viewer)

[GOB]

I can understand the Cinci fan frustration tonight.

I also think that Tomlin should have just let it go and not call for the fumble reversal, that really sent this to a new level I haven't seen in a bit.

I hate Pittsburgh, but I disagree with that last part. He should have challenged

That is the dumbest thing I've read in some time. But when you see who it's from you understand.

 

[cvnpoka]

4 steps. Of course that isnt a foul on a ball carrier. Refs got it right.

No bias here.

He had 2 down when he caught ball.... turned around and then replanted each foot again. Thats not even dabateable.

Maybe you still want to say its a foul... fine. But he had 4 steps before he took the hit.

It's not even that. It was a blatant helmet to the head. And when compared to the bengles penalty its just a joke.

 

[Buffaloes]

Ben will be back in by next week imo

 

[The Kerminator]

Great insight from the Steelers sideline. Big Ben has a shoulder injury

OK, but he sent a surge into the opposition and the home crowd which was somewhat subdued and quiet. I don't think it was smart and now his star QB is in the locker room.

 

[Apple Jack]

at Tomlin shouldn't have rightly accepted the turnover. In a playoff game. Because Bengal fans are morons.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

I Don't think the sack was dirty

Oh Burfict gave him the business when he was on the ground. He grinded that ball into his chest.Pitt had it coming a bit but Burfict was giving Big Ben the business, he rubbed that ball and came down hard on his chest after he clearly had the sack.

Just calling it as I see it, I root for neither.

The crap on the ground was uncalled for. Didn't think the tackle was.

The ball was out. Looked like Burfict was trying to recover it

 

[snogger]

Looks like that hit woke up a sleeping Bengal...

 

[The Jerk]

I'd say broken collar bone Ben, & never ending pissing & moaning by bungle fans. Learn the rules you idiots

You may be right. Steelers had no need to pass on 3rd and 18 up 15 points late in the third quarter. A draw play and punt would have been fantastic.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Mr Burfict meet Landry Jones

 

[Franknbeans]

Todman's got some wheels

 

[Ministry of Pain]

at Tomlin shouldn't have rightly gotten the turnover. In a playoff game. Simply because Bengal fans are morons.

All it did was get his QB in the locker room, send the crowd into a tizzy, unleash a wildman on the other team who should have been ejected at times but wasn't. Tomlin had the game won, now we don't know. I think it was a bad move.

 

[Buffaloes]

Phil Simms:

"You're not allowed to wrap your arms around a QB and let your weight fall on him."

wtf

 

[bizkliz]

Backup runners coming up huge

 

[cvnpoka]

Anyway, just an absolutely abysmal decision to do by Marvin.

 

[belljr]

Why are you throwing deep

The tackle? Of course not, but I'm talking about once he knew he was gonna get the sack.

 

[The Kerminator]

Don't care who wins here but it took 7 quarters today before we saw a ballgame

 

[Steeler]

This has to be fishing.

 

[Insein]

Even if Pitt survives this, no way they beat Denver without a healthy Ben.

 

[belljr]

Awful... keep running

 

[Bad_Mo]

Eye for an eye right there. No flags on either hit...the Shazam hit was helmet to helmet...should be a fine. Big sloth getting hurt...meh. It's a violent game. Early exit to bar for him

 

[Billy Bats]

These two have to be thee worst announcers in all of sports.

Exactly. Regardless of what happens tonight, that play likely ends the Steelers season. Haley should be fired on the spot for that.

 

[irish eyes]

Awesome play calling on 3rd down when you completely give up

 

[DukT]

not a fan of either team, but I would not be upset with Burfict getting hurt

 

[belljr]

And you want players to stop running their mouths at each sideline throw a flag

That is the dumbest thing I've read in some time. But when you see who it's from you understand.

And the score since that wonderboy move by the coach?

7-0 and a 15 point lead has slimmed down to 8, star QB in the locker room because he pissed off the Cinci defense till they wanted to kill them. It's just a wonderful call.

But given the person trying to call me out, I understand why.

That is what got his qb hurt?

WTF?

you have to understand why fans of a team would be upset in that situation. even if you think the right call was made, the inconsistency when compared to the penalty cincy got earlier plus the playoff environment, plus a bitter rival is going to lead to just about any fan base reacting similarly.

 

[Buffaloes]

Nantz keeps saying how no one wants to see this get out of hand.

Yeah, I disagree. would be far more entertaining than what we've seen pretty much all day

A Landry/2016 Peyton matchup may not be as lopsided as you think.

I would like the NFL better if it was more like hockey.

Ya I don't think that challenge had the effects this post accredits to it.

 

[dgreen]

at MOP

 

[rascal]

Not converting that, second string qb, and ur defense has been owning cincy....why risk it???

Certainly fine if you are QB at a bar...

Unquestionably Simms sucks. But he's right about that comment. Personal fouls/roughing the passer have been called when the QB is sacked with the full weight of the player falling on him ever since the 2010 season. That said, I don't think that play was roughing. It was not the "lift and plant" type of hit you usually see that gets the flag.

 

[belljr]

Bengals are going to win this

Obviously I agree

Yup

 

[dickey moe]

They really are.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Neither team is winning next week after this bloodbath.

Yup

Defense not making plays

 

[Bad_Mo]

Back at the bar?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Would someone please stick Jim Nantz in a girl scout's uniform and let him call women's softball games.

He actually is trying to question the Burfict sack. The sack is not illegal moron, but the business on the ground is. And it wasn't called of course. The refs have lost control.

 

[The General]

The twitters are saying fans were throwing stuff at Ben on the cart. Not very nice.
