This game is just amazing. The announcers want to murder Burfict.

 

And THAT's BIG BEN'S MUSIC!

Why didn't Cincy just kneel for 3 downs, forcing Pitt to burn their TO's, and kick the fg? That playcall is up there with SEA passing at the goalline. These coaches out-think themselves sometimes.

Yep. They must protect and rave about a complete piece of s*** in Ben Roethlisberger and they despise Burfict (who is probably also a piece of s*** off the field but still). Them questioning the legality of his hit on Roethlisberger but defending the clearly illegal hit by Shazier was infuriating.

Burfect has earned it with previous personal fouls and fines. People look at it differently with repeat offenders.

Because there is no guarantee you make the kick and Pitt would have gotten the ball back with over a minute left which is plenty of time.

Actually, I think it is because Simms and Nantz are garbage at their jobs.

Big Ben is hurt, that's why they keep calling those short passes. Tells you a lot about how much the trust Landry Jones though.

Which is no worse than the fumble/pick you risk by running plays...difference being, by kneeling, they're out of TOs

He is obviously can't throw, screens and runs only.

Clearly a personal foul by Burfict. That is one he should be criticized for.

So about Burfict.....Hope Brown is OK. That may decide the game.

That is why they talk about him that way. Obvious shot to the head.

Football has turned into a barbaric game with a bunch of dumbasses playing. This is stupid.

Here's the thing. The play I was talking about before was clearly clean and wasn't close to being an illegal hit. That one was a clearly dirty play. It isn't hard to distinguish between the 2.

Marvin Lewis should be fired about ten seconds after this game ends

Turned into? This isn't anything new.

Did anybody see the second personal foul they called on Pac-Man? I didn't see that one.

 

 

Unbelievable

Yep. Complete meltdown there. You can't lose control after the Burfict penalty. The Steelers still had a really long kick coming up.

Turned into? This isn't anything new.

 

I hear you. I've pretty much stopped following the NFL. I flip it over because it's the playoffs and this is the ending I get. How embarrassing for the NFL.

That penalty on Jones was a joke. Get Porter away from the opposition. Can both teams be eliminated

About as dirty of a game as you will ever see. And I still can't believe the announcers defended that Shazier hit. That was the dirtiest play (Burfict one at the end was close) in a game filled with dirty plays.

That was amazing to watch. Wow.

Some true scumbags on both of these teams

I agree. Im just saying his history, not just this game is the reason people talk about him that way. The hit on Ben wasn't dirty today.
