He could've pulled up on that easily. It was retribution for the Bernard hit, in his head, imo. The Steelers, Sherzier and a couple of other were disgusting after what happened to Bernard. Some ugly shit out there man
Don't you guys know the rules ? Bernard was a runner and there is no penalty for that play. Try to talk without high blood pressure . I've seen it all and that was a new low
Becoming a runner doesn't justify a player launching himself at a runner and creating helmet to helmet contact on the player. Nantz/Simm/Carey are morons. A league official just spoke on ESPN and said it should've been flagged.
bullshit, you can say the same about Pitt and tomlin. Pitt shouldn't have sent porter on the field, and the trainer and porter shouldn't have put their hands on anyone. If you are flagging Cincy there, you have to also flag Pitt. was a bad call
Different situation, in that case the receiver had come down, turned and made a football move..at that point he's a runner and the helmet to helmet rule no longer applies. In the case of the Burfict hit even if the receiver had caught the ball he still would have been considered a defenseless receiver since he would not have been able to execute a football move and therefore the helmet hit rule applies.
Porter wasn't near the player at the time. He was runnin his macho game bullshit out there. Porter's a disgrace
And what was your coach doing on the field? The Steelers are the biggest phony organization in the NFL, they like to pass themselves off as classy and yet they do bs that nobody ever calls them on like Tomlin sticking his foot out on the kick return a few years back and some of their own nonsense tonight that instigated the Bengals going apeshit.
You can not lead with your helmet on a runner or receiver. That was a blatant illegal helmet to helmet.
If the reason for the penalty is to protect players than you should protect the players. It doesn't/shouldn't matter if the guy is running, "defenseless" , whatever. Head hunting is head hunting
I'm not sure what pacman did to get that penalty but no doubt in my mind that was one cheap ass shot taken at Antonio Brown I don't care what Dion Sanders or anyone says
I do agree that the Steelers should have been flagged for leading with the crown of his helmet to Bernard's head. But it doesn't excuse the Bengals for the shit show they pulled at the end
False. You can't lead with the crown of your helmet and leave your feet launching yourself at anyone, runner or receiver.
He was gearing up for a hit, hes a lb... What is he to do, let up and hope the receiver drops the ball? Sent from my LG-LS720 using Tapatalk
