Drat, Panthers/Seattle game is on 11am here
Please avenge me on Saturday, Kiritobread!!
At least it isn't a 10 AM start for West Coast.
We need an off season thread so eliminated teams fans can discuss how to become one year turn around champions
I agree with you that there is also no defense for Shazier's hit.
The refs fucked up and if they had called that correctly and the Bungles scored there and went on to win he could have been the goat today instead of Burfict.
I think it is obvious that Burfict is in the conversation for dirtiest player in the league. I won't go into which hit was dirtier in the game, they were both dirty and I can't believe the refs didn't call the Shazier play along with many other dirty plays from both teams. I will say that Burfict's play was unquestionably stupider. The idiot had just won the game wit his INT and they may still have won with Ben being in total gimp mode if he could just ignore his instinct to murder Brown. If he pulls up I seriously question whether or not we make enough plays to get into FG range. Instead he gifts us the game. One of the dumbest plays ever.
I have no idea why Kas is harping that if Brown passes the concussion protocol he wasn't really concussed.
This happens literally every week. Just because Jahvid Best and Mathis went on IR because of their concussions does not mean that is the norm. Such a strange fucking argument.
Some are saying Brown is going to pass the protocol with ease.
He's in it, but from what the sounds of it he's going to play.
This is the offseason thread, I don't know why plebs are talking about divisional matchups
So...we really rolling with Mallet week 1, huh :'[
Huh? It is.
Very true. Both were bang bang plays, I do think Shazier had more time and ability to plan his point of attack, but Burfict's hit was just plain stupid.
I still want to know what Jones said to get the second 15 yard penalty.
Implying AB faked that reaction (which was terrifying to watch on TV) is one of the shittier things I've seen in this thread in a long time. And that's saying something.
I couldn't see well, but they said that Jones pushed an official while trying to go after Joey Porter? Someone clarify please.
I like how it would have been difficult for Burfict to react to Brown not catching the ball and being defenseless considering the high speed of the game, but within that same window of time - Brown is able to realize that he's about to be hit in the head and fake his body going lifeless a split second after impact.
Then he faked the injury as Adam "Pacman"
Jones just said an hour ago.
I have no dog in this fight and when you have a divisional rivalry going on, I'd personally go anyway between the rule books to win as a player and for my team.
Antonio Brown should not be playing this weekend given his concussion status, but at the very least some Steeler coaches should be suspended for the Broncos game. That means both Joey Porter and Mike Munchak.
Rashean Mathis, our #2 DB, had his season shutdown after a Week 7 concussion. You can't judge unless you're in that persons shoes but Rashean's concussion was, from video, not as bad as Antonio Brown's fake concussion.
If we're going to start the drumbeats for next season and Vontaze Burfict being suspended then the discussion needs to start about suspending Joey Porter and Mike Munchak this weekend against the Broncos.
If the NFL really cares about NFL health and safety no way in hell Antonio Brown plays.
Right?
Right???
No, Antonio Brown faked/exaggerated his injuries. Then a Steelers defensive legend, Joey Porter, ran onto the field instigating and pushing players he used to play against.
Suspend:
Coach Joey Porter
Coach Mike Mike Mike, whatever bitchmade dude grabbed another mans hair
For the sake of player safety:
Shut down Antonio Brown for the rest of the playoffs because the NFL cares about player safety and health.
No way you can let a football player play after such a vicious hit from "thug" Vontaze Burfict, right?
Never mind the fact that Coach Joey Porter would've done the exact same thing and has done the exact same thing when he himself played.
The defense of the Steelers actions from the organization, to the NFL, to the Steeler fans themselves is mind boggling.
Oh Joey Porter? There's another long lost punk, lol.

Did you even play high school football?
I bet Antonio Brown fed that quote to the media.Gerry Dulac ‏@gerrydulac 1h1 hour ago
Another nice Burfict moment: After G David DeCastro pancaked him into end zone, Burfict got up and said, 'Watch your knees."
Time for this Bob Quinn press conference.
He looks so young

Do we really think that was all that was said? I talked more $hit than that and I wasn't even close to being a great player. The stuff said in a CoD lobby, is literally, child's play compared to a football field...

It works pretty well for Trump.Hey guys, if I post the same thing 5 times does that make it 5 times truthier?

Meh. Burfict is a shithead but I bet a lot worse is said all the time.
Plus that play itself was excessive by Decastro and could have been called for unnecessary roughness.
