I'm sorry did I miss something? I'm hearing all this blame being thrown at Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones when clearly the blame should lie on Jeremy Hill's shoulders.
In fact, why is everyone piling on Vontaze when he made the most clutch play of the day? People hate to trash on their little golden boy Jeremy Hill.
All year people have been crying he doesn't get enough carries and that he needs to be more involved and when he does make a HUMUNGOUS mistake, we turn a blind eye and make excuses.
What makes this guy untouchable to some of you fans? Is it the annoying dances?
I don't get it.. I don't have any hate towards Burfict OR Jones... this one lies squarely on #32

Because Hill "apologized" lol. If anyone needs to be cut, it's Hill. He's long gone, and provides worthless game. His talent can't supercede his mistakes. He can make mistakes and apologize for another team that's looking for that.

I don't really see much of a pass being given.

Bengals have a family atmosphere right, when is the last time we fired someone? It sends a message that mediocrity is not accepted. Something has to change, or is it just because Dalton didn't play? Because, I'll give you that - Dalton would have had us in a bye, anyway.
Hill is mediocre. Jones and Burfict are superior. Superiority is allowing them leeway, for better or worse. Hill should not have that leeway.
If Hill truly was sorry and understood his mistake, then he would also understand being relieved of duty. More often than not, people apologize because they want something, not because they are truly sorry. People who are truly sorry don't apologize, because they hold onto the ball - lol.

Yeah, I put this on Hill. The game was in hand. All he had to do was hold onto the ball and run the clock. Instead he's out there trying to break a big run. It's about the clock and score at that point.
I'd say that the staff should have gone out of their way to beat priorities into his head, but I feel like a RB at this level should know that much.
I'm disappointed in the way that Tez and Pacman lost their composure, but I lay the blame for this loss at Hill's feet.
