Wild Card Weekend Game Thread

[Soxy]

And that is not a penalty, how? Clear helmet to helmet.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That's a suspension

 

[shoosh77]

Absence of yellow is amazing. Integrity!

 

[PseuFighter]

here come the fights!

 

[Jnai]

Also that's a fumble.

 

[pokey_reese]

Bernard died.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

He wasn't defenseless. Good no flag

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

These fucking refs are a disgrace. An absolute fucking disgrace. Shut the fuck up Phil. Oh he turned into a runner?? But Pitt didn't? Shut your fucking pie hole dick face

 

[Dogman]

How is that not a headhunting call? CALL IT BOTH WAYS

 

[Captaincoop]

Guys should be suspended for hits like that. You know, if we care about these guys not ending up dead at 40.

 

[Oppo]

That hit was 100x worse than the 'penalty'

Fuck you Simms, he's a runner? Did you see the play earlier. Apologist

 

[54thMA]

So that's a clean hit and the other one was not?

Honest to Christ, I give up.

 

[derrotehahn]

crown of helmet directly to his facemask!

 

[canderson]

Steelers are a dirty fucking team. Coaches on down.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wait did I hear that right... A Cincy player is in charge of challenging plays?

A coach

 

[brandonchristensen]

What a mess.

 

[johnmd20]

Ugly.

 

[LuckyBen]

And the refs lose control of yet another game

 

[ypioca]

Way to murder that guy, Shazier. Great play.

 

[staz]

NFL, ladies and gentlemen

 

[AardsmaToZupcic]

So that is not a penalty but the earlier one was, I am so confused.

 

[Preacher]

Looked like a fumble too

 

[brandonchristensen]

100% concussed, that was like a Mike Tyson punch to the face.

 

[Stitch01]

Clear fumble and recovery

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So all the penalties tonight and that's not one? I don't know the rule but how is using the top of your head as a missle on a receiver not a penalty?

 

[rembrat]

That was like a heavyweight KO punch.

 

[tims4wins]

Should be Steelers ball. Maybe should be Steelers TD

 

[Dehere]

We're sure this isn't a turnover here?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Pitt receiver became a runner too but still got the flag. Wtf.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Definitely a fumble.

 

[snowmanny]

It should be either a penalty and incomplete or a fumble.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That should be a flag for helmet to helmet, and (in today's NFL) is borderline for kicking the guy out. No fumble, 15 yards, first down.

Of course, the Sons of Blandino won't get any of those things right.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

If that isn't a penalty, then it's a stupid fucking rule.

 

[Captaincoop]

Who cares if he's defenseless, it was straight helmet to helmet?

 

[Jnai]

Why is that not a td?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Nice, he's walking

 

[pokey_reese]

Did Shazier just mime taking a dump on the Cincy logo?

 

[bankshot1]

how the fuck is that not a penalty?

 

[bankshot1]

how the fuck is that not a penalty?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

If the refs say he didn't make the catch, then how can they also say he became a runner, therefor no defenseless flag??? Some serious logic missing here

 

[PseuFighter]

bernard made the catch, but fumbled when he died. challenge flag thrown.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

That's a fumble or an incomplete pass. Most def a fumble.

 

[teddykgb]

I just don't know how this sport can be this sport if hits like that are illegal. I don't think he hits his head on purpose....it is so bang bang... But it is a grotesque hit and I don't want to watch that in a sport, either. It's like a Scylla and Charybdis situation

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

That should have been a fumble returned for a TD

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Guys should be suspended for hits like that. You know, if we care about these guys not ending up dead at 40.

LOL who cares about that?*

*sarcasm

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Wait, they said down by contact now??

 

[johnmd20]

It was the definition of helmet to helmet.

 

[ypioca]

Mike Carey's streak of correctly analyzed plays ends at 1

 

[DJnVa]

I'm confused. Isn't helmet to helmet a penalty, defenseless or not?

 

[LuckyBen]

Holy shit, helmet to helmet
