Is this a fake post?

I just like to remind everyone we still got two more games tomorrow. More possible fuckery.
But he was in the center of a bunch of Bengals...
That's an on the field incident. The word "character" was mentioned. Use of this word implies there's something other than football issues are at play. His emotions got the best of him one (now two) times. It sucks but these aren't "character" issues which is an incredibly loaded term by the way. Adam Jones has turned his life around from his time in Tennessee and this game is not proof he's some outlaw.
Jeff Fisher has job security despite not making the playoffs in forever. It would be one thing if this team quit on Marvin Lewis. It would be another thing if this team lost in a blowout today with Andy Dalton healthy. Losing to a division rival with your backup second year rookie QB is not cause for termination. A normal team wins the game after AJ's touchdown but hotheads were on the field.

It's not looking at that one play in a vacuum. I'm not saying Lewis should have somehow predicted Burfict would hit Brown and take him out before. But Vontaze Burfict is a fuck up. Everybody knows that. Everybody has known for years. It's the main reason a guy with his talent went completely undrafted. Marvin Lewis hitched his wagon to Burfict. When he does that he's taking a risk that the guy, despite his talent, is going to blow up at the wrong time, and that's exactly what happened.
Doesn't matter if it's on purpose, you can't hit guys in the head.
"On the field" is typically used to refer to events that happen within the normal flow of the game. I don't think trying to gouge a guy's eyes out with his helmet off falls under that category.

no.
I know that I was just pointing out he probably didn't intend to do that and definitely didn't want the calls

Exactly why I don't feel sorry for him. Still haven't forgotten all that off the field shit either.
Although he was a complete dumb ass he does have a point. Joey Porter should not have been on the field.

Hope you didn't go to this game man? Between this and the MSU game, ugly horrible games.
Man, I love the Bengals. But it's hard to root for a team that actively tries to lose.
Burfict deserves whatever suspension they give him. I really have no idea what the call on Adam Jones was. Like I still don't get why he was flagged. And Jeremy fumbled the win away. I don't get it. The only things they could have done to hand the game away they did.

Well, it is all about how you phrase it. Mild to feeling good, or great.. Metal is below a mild feeling.

Dude from the first angle you can see he lowers his shoulder after he clearly missed the ball

Yep, there has got to be some sort of satisfaction there.
Before I start making accusations, was Ryan Shazier making fun of that injured Bengal player early in the game? It seemed like it, but you never know.
I think I'm going to throw my weight behind Denver. I can't honestly support Pittsburgh nor New England as I hate both teams, so I'll stick with Denver. Cincy luck will mean Pittsburgh will win the Super Bowl this year after winning yet another wild card game against the Bengals.

Lewis has no,wins in the playoffs. Only keep him if you want to keep being e mediocre
The ball was already out when he speed up and put his head down and went with his shoulder to attack his opponent. That was cleary intentional.
It was a BS call, they just should it again on NFL network and Porter is in the middle of about 6 Bengles players and is talking trash, he has no reason the be over there the refs blew it
hahahaha the cut made this so much funnier
The helmet to helmet thing has been going on for almost a decade. What are you holding onto?

He lowered his shoulder after he watched the ball sail over. It's so absurdly obvious he was trying to get a lick in.
Expected an apology to the fanbase like Watt's tweet earlier. welp

As a USC fan, I heard this kind of hand-waving all the time from ASU fans re: Burfict.
He's not going to change.
awesome, thanks!
Pretty much this. American Football is one of those sports where the impact of a great coach is seen as clearly as any other game on planet Earth, with the bad coaches being just as powerful. It's always on the coach and then the GM. It's almost like Lewis has a pattern of being inadequate in the most important time of the year (HINT: 0-7).
I wonder why he didn't come out for the postgame interview.
Yea watching this right now, it's ridiculous.

Broncos got the best "play" names.
What's wrong with the Chiefs? The way the AFC looks, they definitely have to be a favorite at this very moment and certainly have had very little playoff success, especially recently.
Yeah they could have burned all those those important time outs.

Official 67 is useless in this gif. He's closest to the players but does nothing but throw his flag after the others do and then just stands there watching, lol.
trainers and HC can. Not position coaches
Deion is the worst.
He's turned his life around.
Wao, seriously, how can you fuck up this badly, after the Bungles got the int they turned it over in the very next play????? I dont care if the flags were good or not, they lost the game the moment they gave the steelers a second chance and without even taking time of the clock.

You can't do worse than Lewis... 7 straight one-and-done with Super Bowl-capable rosters in most years (especially this year as the AFC was wide open).
And you retain Hue Jackson within the organisation (otherwise he leaves Cincy for a HC job).

I need to see that full speed then. I can see that clearly in slo-mo but like I said on the field its just different.
Not trying to defend him or anything, just throwing it out there.

Understand but he definitely doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt after this game. That's what happens when you are a fuckface. NFL will come down on him hard because this was a terrible game on national television and everyone was watching.

Burfict needs to be suspended for next season. Period. No other punishment will be acceptable.
