Game Thread: Wild Card Steelers vs Bengals

[Bmurph]

You lose the game on a fumble in FG range and 2 PF penalties, how stupid

 

[CCF151]

Well, when you take a risk with a talented sociopaths like Pacman and Burfict you have to take the bad with the good.

Fun facts the last three times the steelers won a playoff game they went to the sb.

Also in every back to back postseason under Big Ben they have gone to the sb in one of them. I see three straight postseasons here however.

The refs lost this game on that missed Shazier helmet to helmet hit that was ruled a fumble.

Shame.

Yup, the officiating was pretty poor. Reminds me of NBA refs; as in reputation rules.

Bungals strike again.

 

[ckhokie]

So players who arent' playing are allowed to be out on the field taunting, talking shit, as long as someone is down hurt?

Got it.

 

[Bmurph]

how sad do you guys think Hill is?

may get traded outta Cincy, think thats 4 fumbles lost this year

CLASSLESS steelers
CLASSLESS Bengals
INEPT officials

This was a horrible moment for the NFL.

Deion is seriously defending him.

Just wow

 

[ckhokie]

Bengals were dumb.
Officiating was beyond shit.
Bengals were dumb.

one and done again

 

[J-Rod]

What an ending. I only got to catch the last 5 mins of this game. I hope Antonio Brown is okay. Was the entire game this chippy?

 

[3riverbabe]

Wow. Just wow. Unfreakingbelievable. I think that game took years off my life.

Yes, it was chippy from start to finish. Chippy? Violent is a better word. This was a division game, & that's always a fight to the death!

 

[DJ Fieri]

They are still the Bungles....

 

[Codaxx]

It is becoming hard to watch football. No helmet to helmet on the Burfict hit. He didn't launch or throw a forearm . Scary hit, but it is football. Hard to pull up and WR is moving and ducking his head. I think it was the 2nd Steeler's FG was the result of a terrible targeting call. I hate to see Refs decide a game, though Pacman hit a new level of stupid with his penalty

 

[PatsFan2003]

100% agree. The refs fucked this up beyond belief. Both teams were classless.

The head shot was pretty blatant.

 

[Groo]

The NFL sure does love the Rooney's.

 

[podsox]

a playoff game filled with idiots on both sides. that was hilarious

 

[blue_suns]

Damn

The Ravens-Steelers playoff game last year was nowhere this bad

 

[Rex Racer]

So Ben never was actually hurt, is that what we're to.understand?

I tried to tell you.

How was the hit on Bryant a flag but the one on Hill legal? The hit on Bryant was not helmet to helmet and he fell back into the hit. The hit on Hill was pure targeting.
