Total BS hit, felt that way at the time. Glad others not only see it but are finding the media members to say it. Fans in here, how can you listen to a Steelersfan on that hit? Of course they are going to say Bernard was not defenseless.Red on ESPN said he was leading with the crown of his helmet which is illegal and should have been flagged
True, watching the game it was obvious that Burfict was going to continue to try and hurt Steelers. His hit on Ben was 100% legal, but you know he was trying to land him on his shoulder. That happens all the time and again is 100% legal. He was so out of control looking for a fight. He just imploded at the wrong time and in a clearly 100% illegal hit that was going to draw a flag.Oh I know here we go, all on the refs. Because cincy has 2 classless thugs. Everyone knew burfict would @@@@ up. And that great citizen PAC man or is it Adam now would implode.
Could you imagine if the Pats had McGinest as a LB coach and went out here just to talk #### and draw a 15? End of the world.
If folks want to argue that was leading with the crown, that's at lest subjective and can be debated.Total BS hit, felt that way at the time.

That's seriously all there was? Ref gets accidentally bumped and Porter gets pushed while he's on the field when he shouldn't be?
TY for bringing this. I don't subscribe to Instagram and would never see this. So raw, so real so awesome!!!
Lol he's been on it since the play. Tomlin is the reason Ben got hurt.This can't be for real, right?
Doesn't matter if he was defenseless. Can't lead with the crown on a hit ever. Refs got the call wrong.Total BS hit, felt that way at the time.

Yeah, I had to turn it off. Burfict saw the pass go off his hands. He thought he could put a hit on Brown and get away with it. I don't know that he was trying to make contact with Brown's head, but he was trying to make contact.
Normally I would, but the circumstances of what followed are pretty unique. Had Pitt at Cincy 45 with NO timeouts left and 18 seconds on the clock. Somehow Cincy found a way to squeeze 2 15 yard penalties in that time span to give the kicker a chipshot. That's entirely on the defense IMO.
I don't feel that's fair today for someone who was just trying to play QB and win a game.
He was defending Odell and he was the one who started all the homophobic slur talk, which was debunked by the players around Odell (they all said they didn't hear anything) and reports from the appeal that said nothing about homophobic slurs. Deion is a complete and utter tool. Either he is trying to keep his name relevant or he is willing to back his guys no matter what.
Can't stand Cowher
Espn
What's to talk about? He fumbled. It was a great defensive play and it was pouring the rain. Crappy situation to fumble in, but it wasn't a mental error or anything like that.
I am a Bengals fan and don't even blame the refs. Both teams play on the edge of insanity and battle every whistle of every snap to be alpha male. The rivalry is what it is. Best to embrace it rather than whine because neither team is backing down anytime soon. Personal fouls come with the territory when youre in that kind of game. Steelers and Bengals will probably play for the division again next year and probably try to kill each other again. Throwback games
Guys are going super fast and Brown came down at last second. I'm sure Burflict had no idea he hadn't caught the ball.

Not to mention one hit was on a player who was clearly defenseless with the ball 10 yards past him, and the other play was on a guy turned up the field with the ball. I think Shazier could have been called for a penalty, sure, but that was a much tougher call than the Burfict play.
And how the hell would you know what he was attempting for, Lombardi?
It's very real. I have never been a Tomlin fan, felt he won with Cowher's team and the talent eroded on defense slowly over the years but I know some folks love the guy.
I have no idea why Hill with his issues is icing the game but that was the end of the game. That's a Bengal win if he doesn't fumble that ball.
Seems like proper use to me. Look at people freaking out of Burfict's hit. A couple of decades ago that's called a great play. I remember with LBs were lauded for destroying WRs going over the middle. But no, we get proof of an increased risk of future mental problems that we've been dealing with fine forever and that somehow changes everything.
So you were pointing out the one rule, not "the rules", in your earlier post?

There's no way Bernard was defenseless tho.
Oh he's a crybaby then no doubt, Hold him for me"Every time we had the ball it rained , it didn't when they had it"
