I am also so goddamn happy that the Bengals lost on the account of two of the biggest pieces of shit in the league. They're exactly the two guys who you'd expect to do that kind of thing too, and they were having great games before doing that kind of unnecessary dumb bullshit, which is the best part. I really can't believe they're not gonna can Lewis after his two idiot guys did that. This is the same guy who presided over that team where half of them got arrested or murdered someone. | ||

This is the same guy who presided over that team where half of them got arrested or murdered someone. The Bengals ownership really are scumbags. They don't actually care if they win since (at least in the beginning) the city is required to buy any unsold seats. They also made the public pay for that whole stadium and threatened to leave town if they didn't. I think at one point like 15% of the county's budget was the football stadium well after it was finished being built. Add in revenue sharing and what is the point of trying to offer the fans a better product? Maybe beer sales? Any other city and Lewis is gone years ago | ||

also now people finally seemed to realize that that piece of shit Burfict also blatantly kneed Ben on that sack. No one deserves to have their leg bend like a pretzel more than that asshole. | ||

"Proper" officiating would be to toss probably half the players and coaches out of that game, which I'm sure won't sit well with fans. There's just too much stupidity in football out of our modern cavemen's view of manliness. Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone could have gone on the field with an axe and started chopping dudes up and been flagged for only 15 yards. They were tossing NO ONE in that game. | ||

Thus proving the refs don't know what they are doing. | ||

I'm not saying that I agree with the rules regarding hits and becoming a runner, but that would be my guess. They're also evaluating who else is gonna be punished i think. | ||

Also probably has to do with the fact that Burfict had a bunch of offenses prior to this game. I'm not saying that I agree with the rules regarding hits and becoming a runner, but that would be my guess. They're also evaluating who else is gonna be punished i think. This is it to my understanding of the rule. It's legal to hit the guy with the crown of your helmet to his helmet if he's a runner. This is illegal in college, but legal in the pro game, therefore what Shazier did was legal. What Burfict did was make a run at a guy's exposed head while he was defenseless, attempting to catch a pass. I am currently in Columbus on business and listening to the Cincy fans call into the sports talk radio show was hysterical this afternoon. | ||

From NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000238662/article/new-nfl-rules-crownofhelmet-change-to-help-runner-defender) NEW RULE: A ban on a ball carrier initiating contact with the crown of his helmet in the open field or by a defender while making a tackle. What the rule changes: A 15-yard penalty will be called if a runner or a tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players clearly are outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle-to-tackle and from 3 yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or a tackler against an opponent would not be deemed a foul. | ||

EDIT: And while what Shazier did should be illegal because it's dangerous, there's a difference between what he was doing and what Burfict was doing. Shazier was making a tackle with bad form. Burfict was attempting to remove Brown's head from his shoulders. | ||

Refs are put in positions to decide games off of judgement calls way too frequently. The number of penalties that depend on judgement calls by the refs have become way too prevalent. The NFL needs to redefine this penalty. | ||

Like, that Antonio Brown play, as much as it was definitely a penalty, the Steelers called that play with the sole intention of getting that exact thing to happen. If Brown catches the ball right there, they probably don't even get to kick a field goal. There needs to be a rule about recivers ducking their heads, because that is the cause of the majority of illegal hits. | ||
