You think that the refs should follow a rule stipulation that you created and only you know about.  Given this, it shouldn't be surprising that your mind is boggled by the intelligence of not just Steeler fans, but most humans.

Exactly.

Steelers fans have cannot think logically or offer any explanation other than "rules are rules."

Just because there's no stipulation in the rules, doesn't make it a good call, and you can't even argue that and you didn't even attempt to.

It is the defenders responsibility to not hit the other player in the head no matter what.

Is that "fair"?  Does it happen that sometimes the defender can do nothing about it? No and yes.

Does Burfict have a long history of making stupid plays?  Yes.

He wanted to put the big hit on, he didn't get out of the way in time and it cost his team 15 yards.  He knew it.  That is why, in HIS OWN WORDS, he and Porter were not fighting on the field, they were talking about how to play the game.

Then your boy PacMan did a PacMan thing and added 15 yards to the play.

Jumping Jebus on a pogo stick it was almost four months ago.  The Bengals screwed themselves, it is over.  

Lord!  Sometime I wish the Bengals would win a Super Bowl just so some of their mouth breathing fans would shut the hell up for a few seconds.

No.

It's the defenders responsibility to do his best to avoid hitting the receiver in the head at all costs.  The receiver can't throw his head in the way at the last split-second and claim foul.  It's FOOTBALL.

He wanted to put on the big hit and then tried to avoid hitting Brown in a split-second decision when he saw Brown didn't catch it, which he would have done had Brown not whipped his head around at the last split-second.

Then your boy Porter did a Steelers thing and committed a 15 yard penalty by being on the field illegally, but they didn't call it because the Steelers can do what they want.
