Not going to come on here and crow or complain about this call or that hit. Boswell probably makes the kick on the first 15 yard penalty, but we'll never know for sure). But how does this happen? I mean, I was typing my concession speech into Facebook and boom. Stripped ball. Dink. Dunk. Very fair personal foul on Burfict (no comment on the second one, but I read that it wasn for hitting the official while trying to get at Joey Porter), and suddenly, the Steelers walk out with the win.
Color me stunned.

I am not a Bengals fan but that even tore me up. Crazy. 10 things had to happen and they all did. Should have taken 3 knees and made them burn all the TO's and kick the FG. Hindsight is 20/20 though. I understand the futility as I am a big IU football fan. This happens to us about 3 times a season. It is all a matter of learning how to win in the big moment. It's hard to get over that hump.

That's about as a disappointing loss I've had to endure. ( besides the two Super Bowls)The Bengals are the only team I know that can snatch a defeat out of the jaws of victory. Jeremy Hill needs to protect the ball with his life. If he does that none of the stupid extracurricular activity wouldn't have and shouldn't have happened. They imploded when it matter most.

I made it pretty much to mid season without subjecting myself to Bengals lore. I think I'll just play horseshoes til December next year because obviously the Bengals are relevant up to that point then start scrambling for excuses and playing like punks. Nothing matters at this point but getting a playoff win. All the preseason and in season excitement is gone. You can't drop your emotions in the bandwagon bucket for a bunch of pussy ass men who save their worst for when it counts the most. So. When the Christmas music starts playing I'll see ya. These motherfuckers are dead to me.............

Honestly I'm not that upset after a good and much needed night's sleep. The Bengals are a necessary evil for a hometown boy but they are such a joke when it counts most that I think we were all laughing inside yesterday at the enthusiasm we mustered up!! HAHAHHA!!! The Bengals suck but you gotta love us! We scour the earth to find them rose colored glasses every time! LOL!!!

You played a good defense yesterday and they brought their A game for the most part. I don't think much of Denver. You can beat that team. |

Burfett hit on Raven's Max Williams the week before is making the rounds in B-more. Burfett should get 8 weeks off for that hit. Ugly blindside hit to the head. After seeing that this morning, I am surprised he was even on the field Saturday night. He is the new "criminal element in football"...to quote a Steelers coach from a few decades ago. This is ugly. Makes me sick that he was not suspended. Not even Hines Ward's blind side hits were this egregious. www.totalprosports.com/2016/01/10/vontaze-burfict-headshot-maxx-williams-video/ |

I hate Pitt but I do like Brown he is hands down best WR in football fun to watch. They might as well just change name from nfl to flag football league. In the 70s Pitt def players used to sack Ken Anderson and try to twist his head off at same time. Jack Tatum used to level guys coming over the middle. It used to be you came over the middle to catch a pass at your own risk. You knew you were going to get blasted. Guys used to kick guys in balls. try to bit ball carriers fingers off etc. All that was foolish AND TAKING IT WAY TOO FAR. But I see nothing wrong with drilling a guy anyway possible to knock ball loose. I have about had it with NFL game. These games are fixed for most part anyway to much money being bet on games for at least some of them not to be fixed. It is not the same game I used to know. Guys who get concussion know it is possible when they sign up to play football. It is not or shouldn't be some pansy game. Blast away. |

Guys who get concussion know it is possible when they sign up to play football. It is not or shouldn't be some pansy game. Blast away. Yep .......... I agree with everything you said RF4L ....... But, it they are going to call these hits a penalty, there needs to be some level of consistency, or a check and balance. I understand all the "refs are just human, bang bang happens so fast, etc, etc" arguments that come up all the time...... Its so frigging frustrating when one hit gets called and another is not...... The first call on the Bengals for the hit in, was it Williiams......and then to not have the call made on Gio just ain't right. Gio was indeed likely a runner just as the hit occurred, which means he is not a defenseless receiver, but, the lead with the crown of the helmet rule still should have applied. Burfett hit on Williams, in my humble, perhaps purple slanted opinion, isn't old school football....it's blatant intent to injure..... Intent to "make it hurt" is hard nose football that we all love. Intent to injure is not. What frost my ass is when the back judge, and it is almost always the back judge, calls one of these "defense receiver" penalty's...and others refs dont have the guts to correct it when they huddle up to discuss it. The NFL is losing me. All this nit-picking about what a catch is, is just crazy. Like that pass Green caught against the Ravens last year (or the year before).......It was a TD. I think he took at least two steps and then fell to the ground AFTER crossing the goal line. It was over-ruled in replay because, he did not maintain control to the ground. I was glad the TD was erased but it was a bullshit unfair, ridiculous call. I also am sick and tired of all the "automatic first down" given on 5 yard penalty. A DB cant tough a receiver these days. How many times have we seen a receiver run into a DB 6 yards down the field and the DB is called for either holding or illegal contact. Why in the hell is that an automatic first down. The "old school" we all love is gone. The NFL is losing me. They can make it safer without all this BS. I think they should guarantee contracts also. These guys put their health on the line, 10X what a baseball player does. They need guaranteed contracts to cover there asses for what they do on the field. And the friggin owners want an 18 game schedule....make them pony up to the gladiators !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I don't know exactly how it works but point spreads are definitely being protected and the de-violenceing of football is catering to to the notion of making this family entertainment and pass heavy so girls can oohh and aaahhh. I watch enough other games besides Bengals to get confirmation that what I am watching is not entirely real. With the Bengals tanking for the 7th time in this regime I won't have to worry much because I won't be witnessing games again til the Bengals win a playoff game. That buys me back in. The rest of this sorry excuse for a league I don't have much use for. Our Reds are rebuilding. I bet they get a playoff win before these Bum-Gals! |

Rod, think about your statement. Reds win before the Bengals. Come on now. The Reds won't be contenders for years. The Bengals are contenders next year. I know the pain hurts. You're not the only one who feels it. It stings. It sucks. It's my first thought when I wake up in the morning. I look at it like if this is my biggest ordeal going on in my life. I'm doing ok. I'm ready for the draft. It makes me hungrier. Imagine how the coaches and players feel. Let's step back and think about it for a second. We've been fortunate. 5 years ago our QB quit. We had no receivers. We were a mess. We hit on drafts immediately. It usually takes a team 3-4 years to get players in and in a system. 4th to 5th year you want them to get into the playoffs. We're there way ahead of schedule. This team that's put together has quite a few years of prime football ahead of them. With new draft picks in the future. This team is going to compete for years. There's going to be a day when we get that victory and a Super Bowl and its gonna be awesome.

There's going to be a day when we get that victory and a Super Bowl and its gonna be awesome. Damnit Linz quit ruining my pain and suffering with the voice of reason! I'll think of this in a rational manner months from now. For now I'm reveling in anger and irrational thoughts! On a serious note though, that there won't be coaching changes upsets me. I started to feel this way during the SF game. It was a tell. They were not serious about making a playoff run. They had their built in excuse and were looking to 2016. And why not? Nobody is in jeopardy anyway. Marvin's length of tenure and 0-7 borders on insanity. He is not the guy. But that said if there is a playoff game next year I'll be shoulder to shoulder with you watching it. I'm not going out of my way for any of them other ones though! |
