Had they done that, the kicker has to make a challenging 50 yard FG in the rain. Not a given, but if he makes it, there'd be a lot less drama.

Also, Shazier deserved a penalty for his hit on Gio and the fact that the league hasn't addressed it means, among other things, they truly do NOT care about player safety. Honestly, this crap is the only thing that still pisses me off. I don't like the no call on Porter, but Shazier not receiving a fine and, worse, idiots in the media DEFENDING the hit ...

Wheaton's TD should not have counted. He bobbled the ball between his 2 steps. The replay want super obvious so I can understand why it wasn't overturned but still, the bobble is there.

Lastly, there's no one person that's at fault for the Bengals losing (I fall into the blame Hill group, FYI), but the thing to remember is that the Steelers didn't win the game, the Bengals lost it. . They "bungled" the game. They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, as the late Stuart Scott used to say.

So because your guy got his bell rung and Shazier received no penalty, you now believe the NFL does not care about player safety huh?
After they just suspended burfict? After Wallace received a heavy fine a few weeks back? After the Hines Ward rule? James Harrison? ...and the many other players around the league who have been fined?
You were being very untruthful there.

Shaziers hit by the way was perfectly legal.

If they had called a penalty on Porter then they should have called a penalty on the dozen bengals coaches that were on the field.

That's right, a good 'ole Doneybrook!

IMO that is either pure selfishness, a lack of awareness, or a lack of coaching. 16 seconds from the 20 allows for the possibility of two plays...one to gain a chunk of yards, and one for the hail mary to reach the EZ.

Shazier's hit WAS illegal. You're not allowed a helmet to helmet hit outside the tackle box, which they were.

If there were any coaches on the field, yes they should have been penalized.

Why drop his head and drive it into the ball-carrier ?
(yes, Burfict should have the same compassion)


Did I miss Cincy coaches antagonizing Steeler players ?

I know you feel you have to defend your team and you enjoy reeling in the trout that flow through here, but please validate the respect that many have afforded you and acknowledge there is a difference.
