Thats where i place blame on the NFL, WTF are they thinking putting the same crew together for this game when they had no control over the last one. As for Burfict, he is a freakin lunatic! what the hell was running into the tunnel all about after the Int? Marvin should have sat him on that last drive cause he had to know he was out of control by then and that Pitt would find a way to exploit that. As for Jones, Seeing Porter out there smiling knowing he was getting the refs to do just what Tomlin sent him out to do made me want to punch him. So I dont blame this on Pac Man. It should have been off setting penalties, replay of down. But at the end of the day, with the "talent" on this team, home field advantage etc. we should have played better in the first 3 quarters not to put ourselves in a position for something like this to happen.
So you think siting one of our best defenders at the end would be a "smart" move?
He was excited to get the INT... that should have been the game clincher. Everyone would be celebrating Burfict and was about to give him the game ball. Nothing wrong with showing some emotion right there thinking that the game was over.
The NFL is definitely under suspicion for putting what can only be called an inept crew on the field.
I have heard Steeler fans say that the league lets some plays go during the postseason since they don't want to influence the game, they smugly told me that I wouldn't understand since the Bengals don't go to the playoffs. After last nights game, I now have a reply to that... The league doesn't let those types of plays go, they only do it for the Steelers.
