NFL 2015 Wild Card |OT| - A Fraud Goes Wild

Yep.

Like I said before, Burfict should have been thrown off the field a long time ago. Most of the blame really falls on the coaches, specifically Marvin Lewis, for not standing up to their own players if need be. By basically doing nothing they enabled Burfict to act like a bully. He was out of control and being forcibly removed from the game should have been the response. He was a danger to players, coaches, refs, and himself.

shazier is an upstanding human being tho
 
McCarron handled the presser pretty well, with the exception of complaining about a ball being wet during a rainstorm. Like, idk what magic he thinks the NFL has available.

Shazier doesn't have a history of dirty plays. He has one illegal hit under his belt, like a lot of other players in this league. And he wasn't dancing/cheering about the person he hit being injured. He was celebrating that they won a challenge and recovered a fumble.
 
They would be dumb to allow him to play next week after that.

I'm pretty certain they will clear him. My hope is that they will sit him out and only bring him in if absolutely needed. AB is insanely competitive, I imagine he'll game the system as much as he can because the idea of not being available is simply not in his blood.

omg, did he hit someone too hard for your fragile sensibilities?

shocking steelers fans would defend a steelers player! you probably shouldn't be celebrating shit after you illegally speared a guy and left him lying on the turf for 10 minutes

i dont really care about the hit except that the bengals had less of an illegal hit 10 minutes before and got a flag. i also didn't give a shit who won, just calling it like i see it!

Yeah, I don't think he was taking joy in the injury (and it should have been a penalty).

Burfict has a history of hitting to inflict injury. There is plenty of evidence of that.

As for Porter, from the angle in this video where they slow it down it sure seems like he's moving with the entourage escorting off Brown when he gets separated from the Steelers group by a Bengal player and then sucked into a conversation before being shoved.

Painful and agonizing game. I don't like where it leaves us for Denver and its bad for the league.

Apparently Pit fans are on a morale high ground after this game. Lets sweep the 30 + years of dirt and filth that team has been drugging up from personal and coaches

I want to know why that hit is enough to label a person a thug in your mind. Has no 9er ever gotten a personal foul penalty? Did you immediately divorce yourself from him?

My god, how can you root for the 9er's with Ahmad Brooks on the team?

If reffs gave a personal to that thug that fought burfect = field goal = won the game = no hill fumble. What about that thug on the pit side that head hunted our player?? or is this only 1 way traffic ?

or if reffffs thru a flag on aj blue + yellow for false start on td = may b no td = may b bengals nvr get in the game?

never called shazier a thug. that's a word people use in place of a racist word! as for ahmed brooks, he never speared anyone and literally made no contact with brees' helmet!

i won't be mad. baalke sux at drafting in the first round so we might as well get something out of it. as for carlos hyde leaving, he can't stay healthy anyways because of his running style. we also have very few good players so chip can cut whoever and no one will give a shit

You must have been so proud of your fellow Cincinnatians when they started booing and throwing trash at an injured player.


Ye Pittsburgh people are classy ehh right if that was Dolton and your home team was getting shit call after shit call stuff like that was bound to happen. Not condoning it doe.
 
That was fucking embarrassing by damn near everybody on the field last night. Both coaching staffs and the refs completely lost control of that game and that falls on them.
 
Goddam I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter last night... Woke up with 45 seconds left barely enough time to figure out what's going on

Bengals have no discipline. But I don't think Joey Porter was going on the field just to quietly check on AM injured player... This is a bench that already had 1 coach flagged for grabbing at Jones dreads earlier in the game, and with porters history with Cincinnati you have to assume he was trying to stir the pot.

It worked. It ended the game. Don't thinkthe refs should have thrown that second flag.

Could 'Meltdown at Paul Brown' spell the end for Marvin Lewis?
Jones also took issue with the call on Burfict, saying of Brown -- who the Steelers said after the game was in the league's concussion protocol -- "Man, that (expletive) was (expletive) acting. He flopped. He needs a (expletive) Academy Award for that performance."
Jones conceded, however, that many outsiders would blame Lewis for failing to control his team. And, truth be told, several players inside the Bengals' locker room -- none of whom wanted his name used, for obvious reasons -- felt that Lewis deserved the criticism, citing a season-long lack of discipline among some defensive players in games, practices and meetings.

"Eventually," one player said, "this (expletive) catches up to you."

Said another: "You put up with enough (expletive) for enough time, guys think they can continually do it."

Lewis, for his part, refused to rebuke Jones, saying, "I'm not going to single out our guys. We had enough chances to win the football game."

I hope chiclets sticks around, I like to see inner division meltdowns. On 1 condition he cant switch to steelers when he gets finally fed up like that one dude that i cant remember that skipped a steelers game to go a beatles listening party.

Still can't believe how the Bengals lost that game...man.

It's suppose to be one of the coldest day ever for a playoff game this afternoon in Minnesota...that new stadium ready for next year...?

He was out of control and being forcibly removed from the game should have been the response. He was a danger to players, coaches, refs, and himself.

I remember when Burfict was a success story there was a lot of talk about how Lewis had treated him like an adopted son, etc... If Lewis got the credit for Burfict's success he should also get the blame when Burfict goes off the rails and the coaches do nothing to reel him back in. After the game both Burfict and Jones sounded unhinged, which would not be encouraging to me if I were a Bengals fan.
 
Still shaking my head after last night's game. It was closer to a WWE match than an NFL game. While it was incredibly dramatic and entertaining, I can't say I ever want to watch a game with that tone ever again.
