THEN Porter says something to Burfict.  Whatever Porter said it as said with an official between him and Burfict.  Had it ACTUALLY crossed any kind of line the official was right there to throw a flag.

Also note all the officials NOT THROWING FLAGS ON ANYONE but rather just attempting to break it up.

Overall Burfict seems to be cool headed.

Porter should not be saying anything at all to opposing players. As I have stated before. The inequities in officiating were glaringly apparent. Every judgement call went against the Bengals. You will keep posting this clip which settles nothing without audio, but like I said, kudos to porter for eliciting a reaction....and getting away with it.

He has no business being out there (the problem is you don't want to admit it-the rest of the country knows he shouldn't have been out there), stirring it up and talking to our players.

Porter was out there to do what he did and that was to earn a game ball by baiting our players. Congratulations. The Steelers tricked our players by breaking the rules. Penalty received and game ball awarded. The Steelers are such a proud organization.

The point your missing is Porter is a coach. Not a player.

Coaches have a Code of Conduct (a higher standard of conduct) that they are to follow that doesn't include jawing at players to try to get a penalty for the Steelers ,so you can get a game ball. (or pulling hair for that matter)

And you keep saying the ref is right there to judge what was said?? What?? The refs were a big part of the problem in the first place. Remember: the ref (I think the same ref) called a TD that obviously wasn't a TD (which they now admit) and a non call that caused a turnover for the Steelers that should have been a 1st down on about the 10 yard line to score for the Bengals (which they are now pretty much admitting was a bad call and that the explanation given at the time to the national audience was make believe).

The refs made one sided bad calls that caused the game to get to the emotional level that it got to, your coaches were purposely inciting our players which they are not allowed to do by rule and the refs did nothing about it and when the game was on the line that same ref called a questionable call to decide the game. One of , if not the most physical games in the history of the NFL and the same ref decides the game because he got bumped into ,after all the other bad calls (that he made)/non calls/pushing and shoving.

Showing short cuts of hand picked video does not capture what happened or was said and you obviously can't rely on your saying the ref is right there. I mean give me a break.

Without the refs the Steelers don't win that game.Period.

You should be happy with the win.

You guys are acting like you have to convince the Bengals fans that what happened was legit. It wasn't and we know it. And quit frankly I think everybody knows it. Maybe thats why it bothers you so much.

Accept the present your recieved and be done with it.

In your fantasy scenario somehow Porter said something so bad that Gilberry heard it from over 5 yards away and bumped Porter from behind and then after Porter stopped talking (that's in the video...unless you think he's a ventriloquist too) Jones comes from yards away later for something that was said before?

(02-07-2016, 04:17 PM)Beaker Wrote: Neither "seems" upset. No ambiguity there. Like I said, without audio, your clips are useless in determining what exchange really went on between those involved. And I don't think porter wouldve gotten bumped by anyone if he wasn't in amongst Bengals players. He was there to stir the pot and bait them. If youre wholeheartedly denying that then its you who should be wearing the tin foil hat. But like I also said....good for him that he got away with it. Our players were stupid for falling for it.

Can't say I didn't try.
