I'm not one of those guys who think that games are rigged or anything, but I do think the Steelers get away with some ridiculous hits at times. It continues here, with no flag on a play where they clearly knocked out Brissett.
Of course, there is ZERO attention on the hit.

I saw that and wanted to make a video of it.
It was absolutely ridiculous and it's definitely rigged for teams that make the most money, which is what the Steelers do.

Yes the Steelers are dirty. And although he did try to lead with the helmet, it was weak. Can’t penalize a guy for trying to do something he didn’t do. Or so it seems.

I imagine he will get a fine. Ben's been hit plenty of times in the head by the Ravens and never draws a flag. Brady is untouchable if you really want to bring it up.

I can see why that wasn't called on the field. It was a glancing blow at best and happened really fast. The league will most likely review the play and a fine is most likely forthcoming, but no suspension. Now if that were Burfict making that hit, every ref on the field would have thrown their flag, Burfict would have been ejected from the game and escorted off the field by security as Goodell handed him his lifetime suspension as he started down the tunnel.

Meh, this likely should've been posted in Smack Talk, or AFCN News. No use crying about what other teams get away with in Jungle Noise. Heck, the Bengals weren't even in that Stadium..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I've always thought the NFL officiating was crooked.
The only case I could make for it not being crooked is the plays happen so fast and I could see missing stuff in person as they don't have the benefit of replays and slow motion like we do.

That's the ChrisNowinski from the WWE isn't it? Years and years ago. He was on Tough Enough I think.

I can see thinking he went over him. By the time you realize he must have made contact it’s too late.

The pass play to Brown that put them in FG range to win should have been called back because of an ineligible receiver downfield.

I want to know why Mariotta showed signs of a concussion on the last drive and was not removed from the game? He clearly got up woozy and needed help but was allowed to stay in the game..... Answer me that????

Anyone who truly believes the league is fixed in any shape or form (excluding ball inflation violations), needs to have their head checked. Furthermore, why would you bother to follow the game, and invest so much time in a team that you clearly think is hindered by the league's secret agenda?
Makes zero sense.
Calls get missed all the time, and unwarranted calls get made all the time. Good grief.
This post brought to you by the Cincinnati Bengals. Proud leaders in squandering opportunity, since 1969.

He was a runner in the middle of the field. Standard play.

It definitely could be an argument about whether or not the runner got down early enough.
I posted because when I watched in full speed, it still seemed to me like he led with his helmet. He could've pulled out, just jumped to the side... but it's questionable to me.
Also - you can post a play by another team without it being whining. I don't think the Bengals stand a chance for a few years against them.

And you'll get to witness it first hand in a little more than a week.
