His hand came off of it after he had the second foot down.  That is a lack of possession.  It was pretty clear in the replay.

Hmmmmmm....have to look again.  If his hand came off the ball then you're right.  However, if his hand stayed on the ball the whole time and the ball was pinned on his leg by his hand and he maintained control that would be a catch.

You know, there is one more play where Pitt should have gotten penalized for a late hit. Anyone remember when Eifert caught the ball and was taken down and as soon as he hit the ground one of those squealer pos defensive backs dove on the ground and hit him? Cheap shot and should have been a late hit, but wasn't called. Also, hindsight being 20/20, Brown clearly fell downward into position for his head to get nailed by VB.

At least you're the type to call this kind of stuff out.

He wasn't supposed to be on the field....total hack job by the officials. Also, why a defensive coach "checking on" an offensive player? It's usually the position coach or HC.

"Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and the Steelers have gotten under one another’s skin this season.

Burfict’s celebration of a hit that injured Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell in the first meeting of the year between the teams drew the ire of the Steelers. Their reaction, including threats on social media, rankled the Bengals, leading to a pregame scrap between the teams last month and a low hit by Burfict on Ben Roethlisberger kept the temperature high after that game was over.

Based on Burfict’s response to questions about facing the Steelers to open the playoffs on Wednesday, it hasn’t gone down in the intervening weeks.

“I hate Pittsburgh,” Burfict said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “It’s not personal. That’s just the way it is.”


That man needs medicated.

I'm just glad Antonio Brown is still alive.

All those prayers by his teammates probably pulled him through.

Man I already hated Joey Porter from his days as a player.

Ha...  Gilberry says "Get your ass back on the sideline".

You can tell Burfict is asking the refs "Why is he out here"...  Unbelievable.

I agree. I have always hated Porter.  My hatred for that team had kinda waned over the years because those ass hats were gone it's back now.

Good. That will help him stay healthy. We'll need him to kick Steeler ass down the stretch.
