You mean to tell me Hill fumbled on purpose or did something that he shouldn't have?
2. No, it is absolutely NOT an implosion, when there is a double standard.
Come on. What SHOULD have been the call, was a 15 yard penalty on Porter, then I guarantee you an ant on the Bengals sideline, wouldn't have moved onto the field at that point, let alone go near the refs.
Not saying any more on this matter because we all have different opinions and we're not budging on them, so no use going in circles.
1) Did he protect the ball? No? Then yeah, he did something that he shouldn't have. Couple that with what we've learned about Hill since then (ie, that he's a selfish prick) and I promise you he was more concerned with trying to score than he was with just protecting the win.
2) IT DOESN'T MATTER, you simply can't respond that way when you don't get the call. Period. He lost his cool, and his own teammates on the sideline would tell you the same thing. Suck it up, finish the damn game, and then do whatever you want to do when you're rubbing your victory in their faces, don't do what Adam did and hand the game over on a silver platter. He was the immature undisciplined jackass everybody told us he was for years and years.
I mean I'm as big a homer as anyone around here, but trying to convince yourself that the Bengals didn't completely implode that night seems like semantics at the least or outright denial at worst. I think the refs blew plenty in that game (giving the Steelers a TD that wasn't a TD, letting them murder Gio on the field with no penalty, all the Porter stuff), but the Bengals have noone to blame but themselves. Until they learn that lesson they're just setting themselves up for it to happen again.
