If he stayed down an extra few seconds to draw a flag on what was an illegal hit... that happens in every game. Acting is part of football, and every sport, by the way - at all levels.
Complain about the Shazier hit all your want, I think it should have been flagged, too. That doesn't suddenly make Burfict's hit not illegal. I don't understand that argument.
Because the refs threw a flag to put Steelers in position to kick a field goal and then threw a completely BS second flag provoked by a coach illegally on the field to give them the game - versus completely ignoring the hit on Gio that was far more vicious and hurtful that would have put us on the 10 yard line and no drive by Steelers that resulted in points.
We lost the game despite the blatant bias by the officials because Hill was too immature and stupid to do the one thing he needed to do - hold the ball.
But the Steelers continually cheat and game plan for dirty plays with zero consequences while the refs are looking for ways to throw flags on the Bengals.
The politically correct NFL leadership is completely corrupt and has zero integrity in my eyes. If they cared about integrity, they would have full time officials who were not fat old guys and who studied game film all week just like the players to make sure rules are applied equally.
It is really a huge joke if not a farce.
