Earlier in the game a Pitt WR caught the ball turns around completely LOWERS his shoulder resulting in the Cincy defender hitting him in the head.

That was called

Yet somehow the hit on Bernard was not called

Cincinnati behaved like crap. They totally showed that Lewis doesn't have any control BUT the hit on Bernard dhould have been called and that is where things started getting out of control.

Abdicating responsibility much? That whole crying of "Well Gio Bernard took a shot to the head!" Is the height of immaturity. The shot Bernard took was 2 quarters earlier and did not decide the game. Saying "yeah but" might help you feel better, but doesn't change the fact that the Bengals committed the choke of the century.

I agree. Burfict lowerd his shoulder which is a legal move. It was unfortunate that Brown lowered his head. That should have been a no call Burfict. The Shazier hit on Bernard was illegal. He led with his head and speared Bernard with his helmet. That's the play that should have been flagged. That's why the Bengals got mad when the flag was thrown on Burfict after he made a legall hit.

ARTICLE 8. INITIATING CONTACT WITH THE CROWN OF THE HELMET. It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle to tackle and from three yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team’s end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or tackler against an opponent shall not be a foul.

marvin is as safe as can be. when paul brown was alive in 1988 they made the sbowl.mike brown was bitching about salaries going up. the city of cincinnati is ******. MIKE BROWN ,BOB CASTELLINI, MICK CRONINAND TOMMY TUBBERVILLE. CAN YOU SAY PATHETIC!

And you live there? LMAO.

Can't even finish simple construction projects.

Does anybody know if a penalty should have been called on Pitt for Joey Porter coming in the middle of the field? Pacman goes over and pushed him but why was Joey Porter at midfield?

He is a member of the rooney nfl club.

[brooks85]

how about the TD by the steelers? That was not a catch, not a world where you can say that the WR had possession before going out of bounds and with 2 steps.


Reffing was as bias as steelers/seahawks superbowl.

Cincy laughing stock of NFL

[ByeShea]

you could see from a mile away that this outcome was going to end at pitt winning by 2. Everything else you see during the game is just pointless.

It was obvious to you that Cincy would pick off a pass in PIT territory and fumble when they could have kneeled 3 times and go up by 4 with a kick. YOU OBVIOUSLY KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

YOU KNEW Brown would get knocked unconscious on an incomplete pass at the zero hour by a direct shot to his head that, with instant replay, left announcers with nothing to even debate. NFL PLANNED THAT.



Some of you need to learn how to lose a bet.

We've all been watching the NFL all season - that play gets the flag 100% of the time. End of discussion.

It's amazing to see how many people would rather draw vague conspiratorial conclusions rather than come to grips that today's NFL linebacker is not a terribly bright animal.

Get em next year honey.

She’s crying because the trash she threw didn’t hit anyone

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Yep those Cinci fans are piece of fukking shit trash.

I love the way this game ended.

They thought Big Ben wouldn't return!

I bet his shoulder hurts like hell today.

Pieces of shit Cinci players and fans!

Birds of a feather flock together!

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Just as disappointed as those who bet on Houston yesterday

50 points Harold. I'll expect 2 a day for the next 25

Animals. I mean, 300 years is not a long time from being removed from the jungle..

[unde0087]

Well going into the playoffs without your starting qb the chances of winning weren't that great anyways so it isn't like anyone could be shocked, having said that, watching how it happened has to chap some fans asses.

Pacman Jones is a clown. That dude deserves all his bad fortune. 31 and still acting like punk @ss bitch. Tried shoving Porter in front of the ref. Wouldn't do that when they were alone.

[2daBank]

sadly these animals are a good representative of their shitbag lowlife fans who throw trash and root their thugs on to injure and kill the other team.
