January 10, 201610 yr Not sure how 55 didn't get fined for this cheap shot last week but it's a perfect illustration that he doesn't get it. This isn't the Raiders of the 70s. We can all cry about it but the rules are the rules. You can't trust him. https://vine.co/v/iMWPBbFYELr Anyone watching those two clips has to realize that he truly is a punk.
January 10, 201610 yr Only in Cincy would fans want Burfict cut and McCarron as the starting QB! lol! Burfict is great player, McCarron has 68 QB rating and looks lost. Yet Bengals fans want Burfict's head on a platter, and pat good ol' AJ on the back! Then again, Cincy fans loved Ryan Freel and were lukewarm about Griffey Jr.! lol! No wonder Cincy and Cleveland are in the same state. Literally. lol!!!!!!

No wonder Cincy and Cleveland are in the same state. Literally. lol!!!!!! They just don't get it.. You can't win championships without guys that play angry or are "punks" if you wanna call it that... The Steelers have had multiple guys that fit that description... Even on offense like Hines Ward. Ronnie Lott made a career of making what is nowadays illegal hits in the NFL... My guess is he would've still taken a few shots like that in today's game to send a message to receivers... I'm sorry man, look at the nice guy Vinny Rey... Missed a game changing easy INT... The "punk" Burfict had a huge tackle for loss, caused a fumble, knocked Ben out of the game for a quarter (which is the only reason the Bengals mounted in comeback) and he had what really should've been the game winning INT... Even current players for the Steelers and former NFL all-time greats think that Burfict shouldn't have even been penalized on that hit to Brown... Players that play angry take those chances though... Shazier easily could've been flagged for the hit on Gio, but he wasn't... So, it's a great play.

I think I know what it is, but I already have been warned by one of the mods in a previous thread not to say it again, so I won't. lol!

They prefer "yes sir" and no ma'am" to a rough, tough, winning attitude. I'm a lifer as a Steelers fan and I will take Burfict right now. Heck, throw in Dalton as our backup to Big Ben and Adam Jones to shore up our DBs. I respect those guys, not like these Cincy fans.
January 10, 201610 yr I received another private message that my free premium trial is over, so God bless all Steelers fans even you spindoc, and see you in the Super Bowl. Steelers Curtain signing off for good. Go Steelers!
January 10, 201610 yr Vontaze is arguably the most important player on the defense. While also being the biggest liability. But his positives will continue to outweigh his negatives as long as his play continues. He is a punk, but it doesn't mean he can't be coached. Without all of this negative aura around him, he would be talked about as a top 2 or 3 linebacker in the league. He is that good. Just needs to be coached by someone other than Marvin. I think he likes Marvin, but I don't think he respects him as an authority figure.

All he has is the garbage.
January 11, 201610 yr Or the OC. Either way, it's up to Hill to hang on to the ball. Or they take three knees and kick a FG to force the Steelers to have to go 65+ yards and score a TD to win it. That would have made too much sense though!!!
January 11, 201610 yr Or they take three knees and kick a FG to force the Steelers to have to go 65+ yards and score a TD to win it. That would have made too much sense though!!! People not A SINGLE TEAM IN THE NFL when the other team still has 3 timeouts would have taken 3 knees and then settle for a 50 yard field goal in the rain, with a kicker who traditionally is not good from 50 yards. I am not sure why anyone would want the Bengals to trust Nugent to kick a 50 yard field in the rain. When the Steelers if he misses would have gotten the ball on the 40 yard line then if he misses. Its very simple they did what EVERY COACH IN THE NFL would have done, and that was run the ball. One first down wins the game, or even if you don't get a first down then you hopefully probably got it closer for an easier field goal. They made the right decision and quite frankly the smart decision there. The running back simply needs to hold on to the dang ball.
January 11, 201610 yr I agree with FC... Nobody would have ever taken three knees and attempted a long FG in that circumstance. Just too risky.
January 11, 201610 yr I don't remember seeing kneel downs before when a team has 3 timeouts left. It's safe runs to get the clock going and maybe get a first down to ice the game.
January 11, 201610 yr For the first time in my life ... I can speak first hand about an NFL game I was actually at ... My goodness ... VOR ... seriously ... FOOTBALL IS NOT A GAME PLAYED BY LITTLE GIRLS WHO ARE SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE ... ... THIS ISN'T DOWN TOWN FORT MITCHELL. I seriously don't get it (not just from VOR ... but anyone who think that the Bengals should get rid of Burfict). Football is a violent, physical game that is not meant to be played by sissy's and little girls. It isn't a "gentlemens" game. It isn't golf ... or tennis. Or volleyball. *Burfict has made great strides with his personality since college (do a little research on what a bonehead he was in college). *Without Burfict ... the Bengals get BEAT soundly tonight. He was all over the field ... backed down from no one ... made the play that should have sealed the game. *Adam Jones ... seriously ... he has made huge strides as a human being and is one heck of a football player. What I will agree to ... is that Burfict has a reputation. And that hurts him every once in a while. You have #66 ... who hammered him late ... and kept going after the whistle (I was in row 7 with a great view). He defended himself ... at the end of the play. He didn't pull the scumbag move that 66 did ... while he was kicking Burfict while he was still on the ground. The play at the end .... I was far away ... but the replay board didn't make it look like anything other than being very close .. and a tad bit too late to stop himself. The funny thing is ... I would have bet money that Bengals fans would have been all over the board ... complaining about the officials (and in my opinion .. that would have been justified). But getting rid of Burfict ... Adam Jones? NO FREAKING WAY. Watch some old school film of Dick Butkus ... he tried to murder guys every play ... and he wasn't real nice about it either. But ... that was back when "Pride Mattered" ..... Today's game is designed to be just that. Too many rules and protecting of the players. So in a way, it is a "gentleman's game". But I'm with you, I like "old school" football much better.
