Such was that game last night.  The better team lost to their hated rival.  How can Pittsburgh not laugh?  Who in the flying actual **** fumbles then personal fouls their way to losing a game they had won.

The Bengals that's who.

In what surely was the best possible example of why you fire a head coach, Mike Brown will not budge and that loveable playoff losing giggly son of a gun will be back next year.  Becuz why not.  That's what we do.  We're the Bengals.

And we look like ***** asshole man.

You and Marvin Lewis must get along great.

If you prefer taking the approach we took the night Huber got his head knocked off then I feel sorry for you. I would rather retaliate then sit back and lose in an even more pathetic manner. Without the fire that ensued from being bullied the whole night, we probably would have lost 22-0.

(01-10-2016, 05:34 PM)Sovereign Nation Wrote: Wrong.  No one on this board has said that we needed the PF.

What they have said, was that it wasn't a PF.  They also have pointed out that if Burfict's is PF, then Shazier's should have been called PF, since Shazier's hit was worse.  They have pointed out that if Burfict played for the Steelers then he wouldn't have been flagged.

Now, be that as it may, they did call the 15 yrd penalty, that wasn't the game breaker.  The game breaker was when the ref is looking at Porter being in our defensive huddle and doesn't throw a flag, but does throw a flag on Jones, for trying to point out that Porter isn't supposed to be on the field.

It reminded me of the scene in The Blind Side, when the ref throws a flag against the coach for pointing out that the ref wasn't calling a fair game.

I disagree.

The Bengals are too soft without Burfict.

We need to continue to develop the Steeler attitude that you "do whatever it takes to win." Even if that means you get a penalty here and there. We are getting there. That's why the Steelers are calling us dirty.

Believe me, if Burfict was a Steeler, they would be praising as the next great future HOF'er.

If not for the total choke job and lack of class on our part I'd be all over the refs too.  But it what it is.  The team should be ashamed of themselves.  I know I am. Pathetic.
