It was out of control WAY before the Gio Bernard hit. It probably started when the Steelers coach grabbed dude's hair on the sidelines in the first/second quarter. The refs just didn't do anything to control it other than tossing flags and they probably should have started tossing people after about the 3rd or fourth pushing and shoving match.

The NFL needs red cards.

Yeah, according to 2nd hand accounts, it started even before that hit. The Steelers team and Coaches were taunting fans all game. The dance in the endzone by the Steeler's player when Bernard was down REALLLLLLLY fanned the flames, which is why Rothlisberger got the beer chucked at him when going out on the stretcher.

Which really should be getting more attention, but hey, the Bengals two thugs really turned it into a story about them instead of the Steeler's classlessness. (Not that the Steelers are ever called on it due to market size)

Lots of things evidently weren't shown on TV, but it was a classless display all around. The day set an arrest record in Cincinnati. My office can be seen from the stadium - we're the "FRCH" building if you ever look for it in Overhead shots, next to the Enquirer. The place was left in a bigger disarray than even after a normal game. Frozen beer all over the place, lots of tailgate remains and overturned garbage cans were everywhere. I'm surprised the port-o-lets weren't overturned too.

Yeah, tap a QB or a receiver in the act of making a catch and its 15yds.

The Porter thing would have been somewhat bearable IF he was not immediately engaging the Bengals. Taking care of your players is one thing, but looking at the pictures, he was full on confronting the Bengals, with not even a glance at Brown.

The real fun begins when Brown turns around and plays this weekend and avoids the concussion protocol completely.

Never forget that Joey Porter is a giant piece of shitty garbage. This is how he treats Bengals off the field.

This is getting some circulation now:
http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/bengals-steelers-referees-vontaze-burfict-antonio-brown-joey-porter/

It's a terrible article from what I can tell. "You can't ref football. I'm not complaining about reffing, really! But you can't ref it. Also, the refs decide who wins."

Wat? Does this even make sense to those of you far more invested in the NFL than I am? Seems like this guy's just a lousy writer but maybe I'm missing something.

Refs miss calls all the time.  That doesn't change the fact that you are fucking stupid for giving them something not to miss at the end of the game like the Bengals did.

I really don't get all the outrage.
The Steelers coach that 'pulled hair' got flagged on that play for 15 yards.
The no-call on the Bernard hit was most likely incorrect but those calls get missed all the time. It sucks and the Steelers have been and will be on the other end of that stick soon enough.
The Steelers coach 'mixing it up' during the Brown injury had a ref around all the time. The Bengals had their assistants on the field as well. I have no doubt that Porter was stirring shit, but if you can't keep your cool in such a situation as a player, well you see what you get.

And wth is so unusual about a sideline ruffling feathers with the home town fans in a divisional grudge matchup?

You know, I'm perfectly fine with saying all sides of that Bengals/Steelers game were being utter shit heads, from the players to the coaches to the fans in the stadium of either stripe. Can we just shitcan all of them and never have to speak of them again?  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Fuck the Steelers AND the Bengals.

Pacman Jones is now saying that Antonio Brown was faking his injury, and that he should win a 'Grammy' for his performance. He is a real genius. I was rooting for the Bengals, but I am just as happy to have that shithead and Burfict cooling their heels on the golf course.

He's been saying that since seconds after the game ended. He posted a riduculous thing on some social media account and then quickly deleted it shortly after the game.

He's good at his position. Good enough to be worth the headache? Lewis obviously seems to say yes. Besides, talking shit? That's pretty mundane given this lord of the flies acts towards Cooper earlier this season.

Sounds like a plan. I was all for Mike Brown taking the team away when he was having fits for a new stadium in 1996 and my opinion hasn't changed. If we lose the Steelers it's icing.

Not just people: NBC sports   why so serious?

Lewis can't control shit and Brown only cares about how much he made this season. Unless the NFL smacks Brown for his team's actions (like they did when he was making more than playoff Owners by a large factor because he wasn't spending on the team) expect little to change.

Yeah, Marvin Lewis clearly cannot control diddly-shit about the way his players act on the field. And Yes, Paul Brown is and always has been a cheap piece of shit owner. I expect the Ginger Hammer to also do diddly-shit about the stupidity that went on in that game.

I want the Steelers eliminated for 1) the Rapist at QB and 2) so their shitty fans and dirty players/coaches can not be in the games. I think the rest of the teams are less likely to act like total fuckfaces.

There were three or four calls in this game which were "missable" and every "missed call" favored the steelers. I mean sure the Bengals fucked things up, but they didn't fuck things up any worse than the steelers and well the steelers didn't get punished and they did. And maybe i just have some unfortunate experience with this but the Steelers seem to get these types of breaks all the time. \

The issue was that they called a less egregious hit a foul earlier in the game under the exact same circumstances for the receiver in terms of turning up the field and moving his feet. Except that the steelers receiver lowered his helmet, and the bengals corner hit shoulder to shoulder, with the exception of the fact that the receiver lowered his head partially into the shoulder of the defender. Flag on the Bengals, extend the drive, steelers score.

Its not like the hit was miss-able. When the first one was flagged i said "well ok, i can see how you might mistake that for a bad hit, but on review that is definitely a penalty". When the second came down i called it a penalty instantly. It was obvious. It should not have been missed. You cannot call the first hit a penalty and the second hit not in any situation.

So a market that couldn't support 1 team now has at least 1 team with the possibility of another team sharing a stadium with that team? And the taxpayers get to foot a lot of the bill for billionaire owners who have shown no hesitation in fucking off when that money is no longer enough?

Yeah, this should work out well.
