The fumble was the end. Ridiculous to not just go to the ground. The game was all but over.
The crap at the end is so overblown. Guy went in with his shoulder. Shouldn’t have finished the play, but that play is pretty run of the mill. Guy’s head came down from the first hit. He should have avoided but it was the deciding moments of the game and high intensity to break up the play.
The guy had made several of the huge, deciding plays earlier to set up the likely win. Earlier in the game the steelers guy hit helmet to helmet and was rewarded with a turnover. No outrage there, of course.
Clean your glasses. What Burfict did, as the former pro football player analysts said, was “headhunting.” That’s another way of saying “assault.” He could have killed or seriously injured Brown.
Burfict is a disgrace to football. He should be banished from the NFL for life.
I agree on the leading helmet hit on the chin that was called a legal play. I said then that the Ref’s just invited more and man did that come to be. If they were already weary of nasty play, that one was the play that the flags and expulsions came into play to tamp it down.
I can only imagine the Bengals boards out there right now.
Our family were season ticket holders for the first 5 years of the Bengals existence. The Army got me and I eventually ended up in Jacksonville where I still reside. I follow the Jags but work and racing commitments keep me too busy to get back into it.
I didn’t see anything wrong with Burfict’s tackle.
There's no outrage because it was completely legal. Once a receiver takes two steps and turns he's a running back, and not protected. And the reason he's not protected is because at that point many of them lower their heads, just as running backs do.
