Cincinnati Bengals (official thread of False Hope 2015)

Actually....after that hit on Bernard, the game completely swung in the bullied nerd's favor. Until a fluke* fumble and a dip[Mark May] flag followed by a bull[Mark May] flag.

*fluke as in it almost never happens in that situation. non fluke as in it was Butterfingers Hill who fumbled.

Yeah, the metaphor was more about the fans pain than the actual game.

You also don't out physical the bully. You outclass him and leave him behind in his long forgotten days of significance.

They were seconds away from handing the bullies true comeuppance with a loss. Instead they chose to send the childish message everyone was waiting for burfict to send. In the end those two got the comeuppance they were seeking as bullies themselves.

So, shockingly enough, the fans apparently went full fall-of-Saigon after the game.

Bengals-Steelers fan arrests: Hitting a woman, 'urination altercation'



I read this on Sunday and guffawed at the one autist that got detained by the Cops for being drunk and disorderly. Somehow he managed to get away while the police were occupied with other drunks. Rather than escape, leave the the stadium and generally try and avoid arrest, he ended up buying another beer, drinking it, going back to his section and punching a woman in the face.

Oh course, this time he was arrested and his charges were doubled.

Did Green flinch before the snap and if so does that qualify as a false start? I noticed it live while I was watching and every person I showed it to today (Bengal fans included) agrees he flinched and should have been called for a false start.

It definitely was a false start.

that video you posted clearly showed that he did

I'm just imagining out loud what that zoo would have been like had they called that one back

Agreed. My point was there were missed calls both ways that could have significantly affected the outcome of the game. I get tired of fans claiming their team is always getting screwed when that's not reality.

For all you conspiracy theorists out there complaining about the refs giving the game to the Steelers, should AJ Green have been called for a false start on this play?



Leave it to a Steelers fan to look for some obscure play earlier in the game and go "see?" Hell, if anything the Bengals score anyway with less time on the clock. Then what? You look for another false equivalency, although the Steelers probably would've lost in that case. :slappy:

I'm sure there are some tinfoil hatters out there but most of what I've seen here is Hill's fumble and Burfict/Pacman doing Burfict/Pacman things gave the Steelers the game.

Speaking of Burfict, just saw he's been suspended for the first 3 games of next season for the hit on Brown (who I'll bet makes a miraculous recovery in time for the Denver game).

Burfict will appeal, of course, and his hit on Brown was idiotic. But Brown's acting job was also Golden Globes worthy.

Pacman on Antonio Brown: “I know he was faking it”


grammy-awards-trophy-630x420-e1452526451252.jpg


In the heat of the moment, after the Bengals saw a win turn into a loss after back-to-back penalties on Vontaze Burfict and Pacman Jones gave the Steelers a 35-yard field goal, Jones suggested that the hit that sparked the 30-yard swing didn’t actually injure Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown.

After having a chance to cool off, Jones still believes Brown wasn’t hurt.

“I know he was faking,” Jones told The Dan Patrick Show on Monday.

Jones, who tried to insist that Brown was barely hit in the head, claimed that Brown winked at Jones on his way off the field.

“I think he need a Grammy Award for that one,” said Jones, who previously offered to give Brown an Oscar.

As to the flag thrown on Jones after the flag thrown on Burfict, Jones said the penalty came from making contact with an official. But Jones was upset that Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter was on the field.

“He was just over there calling them bitches,” Jones said of Porter’s interactions with other Bengals players.

“Coaches are held to a higher standard than players,” Jones said. “Period, point blank.” He added that offensive line coach Mike Munchak should have been ejected after pulling the hair of Bengals safety Reggie Nelson during a bizarre first-half sideline altercation.

1. A 3rd and 7 false start trailing by 5 with 1:56 to play in the 4th quarter hardly qualifies as "some obscure play". Especially when it occurs 10 feet in front of the line judge and was clearly visible during the live broadcast. Your inability to notice it live doesn't mean it qualifies as obscure. It was blatant to me the very instant it occurred.

2. A 3rd and 12 vs. 3rd and 7 doesn't improve a team's chances of scoring as your "Hell, if anything the Bengals score anyway with less time on the clock. Then what?" comment indicates. Any honest person would admit that.

3. My post directly above yours "there were missed calls both ways that could have significantly affected the outcome of the game" was my point anyway as I was never going for a tit for tat as you insinuate.

4. The Steelers won so your theory of "the Steelers probably would've lost in that case" is conjecture and hopeful wishing of a non-Steelers fan.

5. At least we have the Pirates (hugs).
