We've seen this before. And now Pittsburgh will fluke their way through the 2nd round against Peyton Manning just like the first time as well. The script continues.

how many bungles fans on this board have actually seen their team win a playoff game in their lifetime... must be hard

>>64807619
Did they change that rule since? Because that rule was a big deal a few years back yet none of the network announcers or their "officiating experts" even mentioned it. I was screaming "leading with the crown of the helmet, faggots!" at the television the whole time and I don't even give a shit about either team.

>>64807721
well the problem is they watch replays in frame by frame all the time. Its impossible to tell what actually happened when you're watching it that slow

I hope the Cuckals never win a playoff game.

>>64808002
well Tomlin challenged it

they had plenty of time then to see it and did nothing

>>64808002

There are equal, valid arguments to the Bernard hit; there is no questioning the Brown hit.

Look, I'm not a fan of either team. I wanted the Bengals to win, truthfully. But you cannot expect a reasonable difference between incidental and initiating in that instance. Blame the speed of the game and the old ass rule.

The defender did not launch and the runner actually shifted lower.

Deal with it.

I don't blame the Bengals for chimping out when they were getting fucked by the refs, but on one condition. They gotta go all out now and pile on the league for biased officiating and take all the fines.

For everyone who regularly gets fucked by refs, it's important to call the league out for their agenda. It's God's work.

>>64808392
Huh? Not making the case for a defenseless receiver, even though Bernard had zero time to protect him himself.

Shazier clearly used his helmet (crown) as the primary point of contact - which is illegal.

>>64808499
My team won, buddy. I don't have to control anything.

>>64808587
Yet you're defending an obviously illegal hit.

For real though, not even just using this game as an example how the fuck is the refereeing for the NFL so horrid? Do they really need like 1000 rules and 1000 more different variations on what constitutes what alongside them? And even then they still fuck things up, they really need to do something about it because this season it has felt like every game has multiple instances of them doing a shitty job

The Steelers were as out of control as the Bengals were. The refs just didn't call it that way.

That doesn't make Cincy being out of control OK or anything.

Honestly College officiating is better than the NFL, and its pretty bad, but game changing fuck up calls and suspicious calls are way more uncommon

No but calling a lopsided game is literally rigging the game

I bet Porter is going to have his fine paid up instantly by the team, he broke a rule and gave his team 15 free yards

>>64807619
>incidental contact... shall not be a foul

Also, hitting a defenseless reciever is not the same as hitting a RB in a crouched stance who will have juked 3 yards to either side if you delay your hit by .5 second. You have to aim for their center of mass so that when they move to the side you'll still get them with your shoulder or arm. Bernard just coincidentally dropped low directly in front of Shazier (who dindu nuffin, he wrapped up, he a good boy).

Reminder that this play should have resulted with a fumble recovery + touchdown and a 15 yard penalty on the kickoff

>>64807814

I'm pretty sure Burfict wants Ben's head mounted on his wall. There's literally nothing he can do when they play next year that'll surprise me.

Yeah, I can read. Amazing you can, being clearly blind and all.

Incidental would be contact with the helmet where it isn't clearly the primary point of contact. It obviously was in this scenario, friend.

If you actually watch the video you can see exactly what I said. You can clearly see the intent to lead with the shoulder.

>>64809638
A shoulder is right next to your head. If the player moves to the side, your shoulder hit will become a head hit. That's what incidental means and that's why it wasn't called a foul.

>>64809590
I'm a Giants fan homie just calling it how it is. Idk how bungals fans can cry about muh refball when a steelers TD was taken away...like how much more of an advantage did the Bengals need? And tbqh taking back that TD is a way worse blown call, there is no reason to whistle the guy down if its unclear. Just let him run it back and all scoring plays are reviewable anyway

Bungle fans just face it - your team is shit and full of thug niggers chimping out. Your coach is a fucking joke. Your team is a joke. They will never win a playoff game. Get over it.

Burfict is a really good player against the rest of the league, but when he plays the Steelers he goes out trying to end careers. Good on him.

>>64809809
And you are a tremendous faggot sir

Shazier's hit was borderline. Burfict's was obvious

The only BLATANT refball last night was calling the play dead on Shazier's easy touchdown, which would have put the game out of hand at that point.

People get confused over what the NFL wants. They're not overly concerned with who wins and who loses. They just want it to be a close game. And they WANT controversy, so everybody continues talking about it the next day and throughout the week.

There is no justifiable way you can argue against the defenseless receiver penalty. The play was over before the hit was made. That was a good call.

having his head up wouldn't have made the hit any better. in fact it would've been even worse, contact to the head and a definite penalty. we all know the NFL is more likely to call contact to the head in any form than for lowering your helmet, especially against a running back.

the real problem here is that Bernard is a 5'9 manlet who crouched down. Shazier then had to try to lower himself as fast as possible. And despite initially making contact with his helmet, most of the force of the hit was through his shoulder anyway.

>lol this delusion

this is a few frames past the initial contact though

you tried

>>64810450
you're arguing about interpretation. the problem is that this interpretation was at odds with basically every call made over the past 2 years,which is pretty fucking convenient.

>If the player moves to the side, your shoulder hit will become a head hit.
Too bad Bernard didn't move to the side, at all. He turned upfield and wasn't able to do shit before getting crushed.

>>64811013
head down
primary point of contact right on the top of the helmet

what an awful missed call

the nfl is indeed a joke, anon

>>64810999
did you just use this cherrypicked, misleading pic and think you could maintain any credibility?

>>64810999
You can see by the position in his hands that he is attempting a tackle.

On the Burfict hit he is attempting a hit, that's the difference.

Bungholes BTFO

>>64809846
>The only BLATANT refball last night was calling the play dead on Shazier's easy touchdown, which would have put the game out of hand at that point.
Which wouldn't have mattered if the officials made the correct call on Shazier's hit, which would have been Bengals ball, 1st down, and a 15 yard penalty to Shazier.

Yeah, it sure does suck being the most recent NFC North team to win the Bowl. But hey, another North team finally won a playoff game for the first time since 2010. Good job, big bro is proud of you!

into the trash it goes, anon

If this is an unnecessary roughness penalty, and not a defenseless receiver play because it couldn't have been called as defenseless receiver, then wouldn't it just be Pittsburgh ball and half the distance to the goal?? Possession changed hands and I've never seen unnecessary roughness overrule that.

>>64811337
possession would not have changed hands. its like roughing the passer when theres an interception.

>>64811050
>>64811195
i chose it because it shows how the initial helmet contact was incidental to the hit and thus not worthy of penalizing

I'm sorry who's in the playoffs right now?
Because my computer monitor says Steelers but obviously I'm wrong right?

>>64811381
>64811381

It was the primary point of contact though. Therefore it's impossible to be incidental, anon.

>>64811208
how do you figure?

>>64811381
so we are going to use an interpretation of the rule that's ad odds with the one that's almost always used? just to retroactively justify it?

>>64811199
Let's also not forget that Bernard actually had the ball. I guess Shazier was supposed to say "oh no Mr Bernard, go ahead and carry the ball as far as you like"

Brownwas thrown a high passl, the ball had already come and gone. Burfict took two steps and targeted his head with intent to injure. He could have shifted six inches to his left and missed him, ending the play and NOT costing Cinci the game. instead he CHOSE to shift to his right because he just can't pass up the opportunity to hospitalize a star player.

>>64811389
I'm bringing up the most recent Super Bowl win by an AFC North team. That's a tad bit different than basking in those wins in the 70's when the division didn't even exist. If you're not winning a bowl then your season is a waste, but congrats, getting 1 post season win for the first time in 5 years is a huge accomplishment.

When did the ravens move to the NFC???

>>64811431
What do you mean how do I figure? Shazier speared him. If that hit's on a quarterback it's called immediately. Despite that, it's still an illegal hit. If it's actually enforced, change of possession doesn't occur due to the penalty, the Bengals get a first down and 15 yards.

>>64811573
the steelers have won two superbowls since your team won a playoff game tho...

Which isn't this year because your team is fucking trash this year.

You've got 4 more wasted seasons than the Steelers then.
>but congrats, getting 1 post season win for the first time in 5 years is a huge accomplishment.
More post season wins than you've gotten this season friend.
Either accept all owls or only the one from the current season.
Making special rules to defend the shit season your team had makes it even sadder.

>>64811714
I'm a Ravens fan, dildo.

>>64811682
he didnt "spear" bernard. bernard had his feet set and turned to meet shazier. shazier made a textbook tackle and guess what? textbook tackles are violent as hell. to call a crown of the helmet penalty the defender needs to line up the ball carrier intentionally. if you watch the webm instead of looking at a single frame you'll see its just an unfortunate part of football. football is a barbaric sport. get used to it.

>>64811754
Fine then, we're both losers, but my loser team will have the better draft position. ;) Unless you actually think the Steelers have a prayer of even making it to the Owl, much less winning it.

>>64811682
So why then was it ruled a fumble and not incomplete?

>>64811438
but this is the standard interpretation. crown hits usually aren't called on their own. they happen in the tackle box all the time. usually they're only called when it's against a quarterback or crossing receiver. they give that "incidental contact" cop-out as a reason. refs decided it was incidental. that's that. he wasn't trying to kill him, he just ran through a shifty little manlet in the flat to ensure a tackle, a play that happens all the time.

Burfict went headhunting after a play was over, it's completely different.

>>64811893
>defender needs to line up the ball carrier intentionally.
Kinda like when Bernard turned up field and made no attempt to evade the tackle because he had no time? Shazier lined him up intentionally.

>>64811893
head isn't down like that in a textbook tackle.

>>64811839
well have fun being mediocre forever since you gave flaccid all that franchise ruining money

>>64811893
you're completely delusional and blind if you don't think that's awful tackling technique.

you dont duck your head and lead with your helmet. it's a good way to david pollack yourself

textbook spearing and a terrible miss by the refs

>>64811920
It was ruled a fumble because no penalty was called. The officials just blew the call.

>>64811926
i don't think they are the same penalty at all. i never implied as such. they are both penalties in most cases. first point of contact was top of helmet, that's not incidental.

>>64811990
he didnt duck his head and lead with his helmet. he followed through with his entire body, which includes moving his head down on a smaller player. post the webm and stop looking at one frame that makes him look like goldberg.

>>64811650

>>64811013
Totally clean hit, couldn't be avoided. Well, unless it's someone hitting Roethlisberger, in which case it's totally spearing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcm6H-NZV0k

>>64811995
It was ruled a fumble because at that point he wasn't in the process of catching the ball anymore. You can't call helmet-to-helmet on a runner, that's just making a tackle.

>>64812083

That's cute.

>>64812107
You can't call a runner a defenseless receiver, you can penalize the tackler for spearing (leading with the crown of the helmet). They're different penalties.

>>64812105
>"he lowered his head, and the crown of his helmet right to the chest of Ben Roethlisberger. That is textbook, that's why it's an easy call"
Shazier does the same thing, no call. Gotta protect them quarterbacks!

>>64812135
I'll be here waiting until you can provide some sort of concrete reasoning as to how Shaziers hit was anywhere near as bad as Burficts. Let alone to the point where it justifies what Burfict did.

Bernard had the ball, Shazier needed to tackle him. Not Shaziers fault that he's 5 foot nothing and goes limp like a sack of laundry when a real football player makes contact with him.

There was absolutely no reason for Burfict to hit Brown, unless "extend a 25 year playoff losing streak" is a reason.

>>64812285
difference is he lowered his head three yards out. shazier lowered his head at the point of and during contact. bungles fans.

>>64812361
Literally nobody in this thread has argued that Burfict's hit was legit.

Where are you getting this from?

Shazier used poor tackling technique and should have been flagged. It was a dangerous play for him and Bernard. It wasn't malicious and he is NOT a dirty player. The refs just missed the call.

>>64811894
Thats pretty pathetic, only way a ratbird fan can possibly hold his team up to Steeler might is by reducing both to nothing.
Says alot.

>>64812372
I know you're lying. At the :07 second mark, you can clearly see Upshaw looking up at Ben with a yard between them. Then he lowers his head. Shazier did almost the exact same thing at the exact same time. Lining up his target, drops his head with a yard to go.

>>64809633
how does it feel to get swept by a 5-11 team

:^)

>>64813182
Even worse, a team that was 3-11 in their 14 games against teams other than the Steelers.

>>64813182
Feels like the Steelers are in the playoffs and you aren't.
I'm sure sweeping them did a whole hell of a lot when you lost to virtually every team they crushed tho.

Uhhh, I don't know, I may feel threatened if the Ravens were worth a shit, but even your meandering attempt of keeping the Steelers out of the playoffs backfired spectacularly.

>>64813577
what a shit team can't even beat non threatening teams

>>64813662
Steelers are known for losing easy games.
Doesn't bother me one bit when years like 2006 happen.
But people like you like to forget about that year, because everyone who wasn't a Steelers fan was in an anger induced coma as soon as the Seahawks bit the dust.

Kind of a stupid rule; but there's now doubt the refs called it the way it was written.

I didn't watch the game live. After seeing the burfict hit, I was glad that asshole lost.

But then after seeing the hair pulling by the steelers coach on pacman... That coach should be suspended and I hope the steelers get BTFO

The funny thing is the stillers had more dirty look hits than the bengals last night yet the bengals are the ones getting shit just because burifict has a reputation of being a nigger.


>commentators saying burifict got in somebodies face during a kickoff

>burifict was in the group trying to police and settle everybody down

Simms and Nantz (I think it was) should not be allowed to commentate games, they are the absolute fucking worst and don't try and tell me Nantz is okay, because he's fucking NOT he's the worst of the fucking two!
