He is a hothead plain and simple and his was the only mental mistake and that can not be accepted from a seasoned vet in such a situation.
The refs had nothing to do with meltdown though, Tez intercepts then runs in locker room with half the team acting like game was over when there was 2 minutes left and steelers had 3 TO's left. Refs did not flag for delay of game. Hill fumbles, nothing to do with refs, Tez clearly late hits WR drawing flag, this was directly in front of my seat and it was clear the pass was thrown too high and he was at least two steps away when it sailed over. Stupid but during play when one only can react.
Then Pacman lets Porter sucker him into flag, believe me they knew exactly who was the hothead and targeted him because kick could not hardly be made in the driving rain without his error.
Plus he is a punk.
I'm not disagreeing with any of that, what I'm saying the penalty Jones was called for was complete BS.... no one can even say what he did to deserve the flag. ... It was an uncalled for flag that was thrown to ensure the Stealer win.

Quote:BUT WHAT ABOUT JONES? It's still not exactly clear what Jones did to earn a flag. We do know that Jones was absolutely livid at referees after the game because he posted a heated, expletive-laden rant on Instagram. Jones' penalty appeared to have something to do with the fact that Steelers outside linebackers coach Joey Porter was on the field, interacting with Bengals players -- something that our own Cyd Ziegler explains is definitely against the rules and likely should have earned a flag.
Jones is a bonehead no doubt, but I'm not crucifying the guy for his reputation when no one can explain what he did. The airport is the same deal, if it were Dalton or Green getting in that fight, there would be 100% support in the same circumstances. So yes, Jones is a bonehead who drinks too much and puts himself in bad situation, but I can't see how walking through an airport is making a bad decision. This is on the airport worker, which is why he is the guy who went to jail.
