Steelers at Bengals - AFC Wild Card Game

[scott99]

Burfict and Pac Man Jones have a 50 IQ combined. What morons, they gave the game away. And you know what, after the moronic penalties I'm glad they lost. What idiots. I was thrilled Burfict made the int, but when the moron started running the the wrong direction out of the endzone and out of the stadium, just to show off, I was hoping he wasn't touched and they would call it a safety against Cincy. Also he came back to the field with his helmet off, that should've been a penalty.

But even with THAT gift by the refs for not flagging them for excessive celebration or delay of game or taking off your helmet (a 15 yard penalty), they still give the game away with pure STUPIDITY. Burfict didn't have to make that hit, it was an incomplete pass.

Also, I was shocked to see Hill running the ball, they called an audible because they were in the kneel down formation at one point. Why didn't they just do that ? Force Pitt to use their timeouts and punt the ball, they have a great punter ?

Cincy's coach should be fired because of that loss. What a horribly coached team. What a bunch of morons.

 

[ayatollah]

he tried to be slick, that hit was intentional. if marvin lewis is till the coach by 11 am today, he should be awarded the powerball too.

 

[Gumby]

He pushed the ref.

According to the above posted pacman Instagram all he did was talk smack back to porter and didn't touch anybody. Real ****ty camera work and unwillingness of media to denigrate the product when it is clearly biased and bogus strikes again. Aiding and abetting go-to-hell


Still incomprehensible to me that PA with two senators can gin up hearings on camera-placement-gate while NE with 10-12 can't put any pressure on nyjfl over deflategate or the numerous ref-gates we've seen this year. I say Congressionally subpoena the NYJFL to refs comms and see what blandino and Vincent have told them to do.

burfict repeating " i dont know " to all of the questions

DINK

 

[rochrist]

In slo mo it actually looks like burfect pulled back

Exactly. From the front side cameras where you couldn't see what he actually hit, it looked terrible. From the backside where you /could/ see what he hit, it wasn't all that bad and definitely looked like he was trying to avoid hitting his head.
It looked a lot like that hit by...I think it was Browner last year that got everyone worked up.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Are you referring to the second penalty? If so, I agree it was suspect. Especially for the situation. He touched the ref, I get it, but it was nothing major from what I saw.

Doesn't matter. Refs have always been hair-trigger about contact with a ref. Put a hand on one and you're getting flagged, no matter how "minor" it is. Nothing new.

Actually they were in FG range, which makes it even worse. Wouldn't even need to punt, just kneel and kick the FG. Unbelievable...

 

[Deus Irae]

E.T. is a Bengals fan?

 

[RayClay]

He pushed the ref.

Yup. Get out of the area and let your team win, assuming a difficult field goal.

When you make multiple head up the arse plays, trying to isolate how you've been wronged is silly.

 

[Gronkowski123]

poor bengals fans..you have to feel for them.

we have lord belichick. the best coach in nfl history and they have stooge lewis.

You get the first down and win the game. You're not crazy enough to think BB wouldn't be doing that exact same thing, are you?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Though disappointed in the way this played out for the Broncos-Patriots, at least I got to witness one the biggest meltdowns in professional sports. Marvin Lewis 0-7 in the postseason...lol.

In the wet? I am not so sure

I'm with cincy in this. Why the **** is a coach in the field yelling at an opposing player and the ref just standing there

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Come on..this is the postseason Bengals. Highest percentage play FOR THEM in that situation was a three step drop back and a pass straight up into the sky that takes two minutes to land out of play. Was there any doubt that whatever in the world they did, it wasn't going to end well?

 

[Dr Pain]

NFL Network just pretending Joey Porter based penalty does not exist

 

[captain stone]

You get the first down and win the game. You're not crazy enough to think BB wouldn't be doing that exact same thing, are you?

Yeah I think that Bill runs the same play too, but Hill just HAS to know to simply go down when he feels contact. They would've had 2 other snaps to try to gain the 1st down.

Hill might as well not go home tonight until…the end of time.

For the same reason taking two steps and bracing for impact was defenceless and turning upfield wasn't. Apparently keeping the game under control meant protecting the Steelers.
