Should be interesting watching Stealer fan defend Ben for doing what Burfict did to Cam Newton (easily Burfict's most dirty moment). Commence.

Here's the play for anyone who hasn't seen it:



Nice flop to get in position for that, btw.

Everyone who hates the Bengals and conspires to ruin their season in order of ability to do so:

Mike Brown
Marvin Lewis
The rest of the Brown Family
Burfict
Pac Man
The entire offensive line (I struggle with placing them higher or not)
Other AFCN Teams
The refs
Goodell
The entirety of the NFL

Dirty Steelers plays that Steelers fans will acknowledge and admit were dirty:

Ben's ankle grab was illegal and dirty.  

See...You're always wrong.

Yet you had to be called out twice in order say it.

A real stand up fan base for a model franchise.

When was I personally called out or even asked about it?

He called out Steelers fans twice. You're a Steelers fan. He called you out twice since your first response was idiotic.

Want it explained in crayon?

Lol... You should read his first pots again... He was looking for Steelers fans that we're going to defend Ben on that play... Since I do not fit that criteria, and in no way defend it, your misplaced anger is once again my entertainment.

You guys sure do love your revisionist histories.

Bengals fans getting butthurt on behalf of browns fans. I've seen it all.

Believe it or not Shazier got fined $25,000 for the hit on Kiser and the dumbass is actually appealing it.

Heaven forbid we want balanced punishments across the board. Gotta maintain the integrity of the shield, after all.

Good morning.
That KC player (#90) did a pretty good flop himself.
Great move by Ben taking that guy out of the play.
Like cinci and Cleveland are the same city, brown fans and bengal fans are the same thing.
Their teams both suck and they are sickly jealous of successful cities and franchises.
Nothing personal.

KC player?

I'm not sure an embarrassingly weak and feeble failed attempt to hurt someone is fineable or flaggable....

Those are the key words, and yes it's both fineable and flaggable. 

If we're being honest, Burfict's ankle twist on Cam was pretty feeble and stupid looking. Didn't matter then and shouldn't matter in this instance, either.

Typical steeler fan response. There must be a handbook or something

- Deny something that's seemingly undeniable (that this was a dirty low-blow from Ben)
- Even going so far as to call it "a good play" (as are all their dirty plays)
- Divert attention from your team by pointing out a lesser offense from the opponent (in this case, Ogbah "flopping" while trying to balance on one leg with Ben driving his shoulder into his knee)
- Living vicariously through your team's (past) success, which has to be mentioned at least once in every football related conversation.

Congrats, your post checked all the boxes.
