I'm puzzled as to how quick the announcers called that a catch...thinking Mike Carey even quickly agreed that he had total control. The league has what it wants though, everything can be reviewed and be whatever it wants to be. Nobody knows what a catch is anymore (especially going into the end zone) or what an illegal hit is. I get that we will sound bitter no matter if we agree that Pacman and Burfict were idiots, but the DeCastro and Shazier plays were right up there with the coaches grabbing our guys' hair and going onto the field to taunt them. The sport has always been about entertainment, but it's getting too political I wish the casual fan would watch the game instead of "duh Burfict a thug, karma got eeem'"
Mike Carey and the announcers were quick on anything against the Bengals, yet they showed the Burfict sack on Ben over and over trying to find anything they could to use against him. I saw at least 3 plays where a Pitt player ( mostly Oline men) went down field away from the play just to take a shot at Burficts knees. Watching this over and over makes me even more mad, just imagine what our player were hearing from the Pitt players and coaches. No excuse to act the way we did but i completely understand.
