The 2015/2016 NFL Thread v. yfw da jest win da superb owl

And everyone hating on Burfict needs to at least respect the fact that he almost single handedly won that game.
almost? lol. you're forgetting the part where he did hand the game to the steelers. jones added the bow.

Oh yeah that's right...Look all I am saying is this guy has amazing potential. Get those emotions under control and he is one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. Easily.

Cincinnati was and is the better team. We are going to be looking just as good next year, and hopefully with a better outcome. Nothing more to say about it really. I hope Denver wins it this year so Manning can retire with one more Superbowl.
 
I don't know how you can say you're the better team, according to the box score stats Steelers outplayed your team in every quantification there is (besides 3rd down conversions, you were slightly better, but both teams were absurdly bad in this rainy/defensive struggle)

there was a reason Burfict was undrafted, despite putting up great college numbers. everyone knew he was a character issue. he didn't even try during his NFL combine debut and he tried to fight his college coach. some NFL teams pick up these guys with character issues, but are good athletes. most of the time it bites you in your ass. same goes for Pacman. Burfict and Pacman are the "leaders" of your defense - that's horrible

I think you are letting your heart get into your head a lil too much here, CG

I'm still not saying that my team are a bunch of saints, I think it was again the worst display of football I've ever seen. I can't even imagine the AFC North next year if Baltimore gets their heads out of their asses - it will be a freakin' blood bath

another note: the NFC East and the AFC South both being eliminated from the playoffs seems about right, doesn't it??

rich people are the same as poor people (except for the fact that they have more money).

this guy's always been a hothead. come on, he was projected to go top 10 in the draft and went undrafted! he's an idiot who just screws his team with his selfish antics.
Cincinnati was and is the better team.
what does that even mean? the only metric which counts in the playoffs is a win. and the bengals lost. the steelers were the better team because, you know, they won the game.

I can't believe pacman actually said that brown was faking his injury


You can't make this shit up. Must be embarrassing to be a bengals fan

yeah dood. those two divisions were 'special' this year for a season in which most teams best descriptor could be mediocre.

The afc west is going to be beast next year tho. if san diego actually gets their shit together it might be the toughest division in the league. I think the nfc was a tougher conference this year but that hasn't been determined entirely yet.


lookin forward to the matchup next week. may the best team win. hope ben doesn't get raped by miller and ware. :)
 
I'm not liking our chances, but who knows

looking like DeAngelo Williams might be out for this game again

injuries have fucked with this team since Day 1 - makes sense they will be working against us for any of our potential last games ever

agreed. it's a real low class move. these players need to learn to stfu.

obviously i wasn't right there. i am just watching on tv like everybody else. but the coverage is great these days and the camera gets right in there. it looked to me like he was out when he hit the ground.

thanks for reminding me about this important discussion topic that I've been debating all day, between my two ear holes...

the majority of NFL fans perceive what only those 3-4 mega entertainment corps decide to broadcast on our TVs (or mobile devices!). the Steelers VS Bengals WC game was an all-time embarrassment EVEN when considering the heavily edited footage ONLY. sure, the Announcers clued us in to some of the more notable "extra curricular" embarassments - like when the trashier Bengals fans hurled trash at an injured Big Ben being carted off the field - but our friendly "journalists" left out many important, game-altering fights, altercations, etc (and perhaps more importantly, the specifics of those aforementioned events)

however, we can thank social media for keeping us truly up-to-date. I have seen a lot of fan-posted Vines n shit that more accurately present that disgusting game of football played last weekend. and again, despite my bias, there were prolly just as many Steelers offenders as Bengals offenders...

the most notable vines from that WC Game:

1) Steelers Line Coach and former H/C Mike Munzchak getting into a sideline altercation with a Bengals CB. sure, the Cinci CB runs pretty hard into the coach, but the coach kinda pulls his arm down and then slightly pulls the CB's hair... WTF? at the very least, the Bengals got a 15 yrd penalty in their favor for this, but the cameras never showed

2) Burfit's 3rd quarter vicious sack on Big Ben that took BB out of the game. this sack looked rough, but not illegal. however, I have seen a heaps of Vines showing a diff camera angle that showed Tez at the end of his sack, belly-to-belly on BB, but then Tez like spun around on his belly while simultaneously driving his knees into BB's hurt shoulder, multiple times

3) Pacman Jones 15 yard penalty... so A. Brown is concussed and being helped off the field by trainers and LB Coach Porter, for some reason Tez has his hand on Brown's shoulder as he's being escorted away, he said something, cuz then LB Coach Porter says something... then like 5 more Bengals rush Porter/concussed Brown, and then you can see Pacman run up to the pile from 10 yards away and try to swing on Porter... some say he kinda barely touched the ref and that's a no-no

4) no ESPN cameras showed just how much trash was being hurtled at BB as he was being carted off the field... even the Steelrers fan in my laughed a bit, although if I was BB I would have thrown up the double-fingers

long-ass post, and I could actually scour the net and find these if there's any controversy

sorry for the long post, I'm passionate about football
 
Been watching live updates all day on the relocation meetings. The inevitable 30 for 30 about this is gonna be amazing. Heard that Stan Kroenke warned other owners "not to cross him" by voting Carson, which didn't stop the LA committee from formally endorsing Chargers/Raiders in Carson 5 to 1, and the lone no vote (Clark Hunt) wasn't an endorsement of Inglewood - Hunt only wants 1 team in LA. Also heard that Kroenke got dressed down by some owners for being a poor representative for the NFL during this process. If he wants LA, he's going to have to start making nice with Spanos literally right now.

EDIT: or not. Looks like a bunch of owners flipped on Spanos once the voting went to a secret ballot.

so im still trying to figure out what happened in the second half of the steelers bengals game. seems like there is limited footage out there of everything that was really going on.

...but stumbled upon this little gem

pacman said:
"I was trying to figure out why the [expletive] Jerry Porter was on the field and talking [expletive]," Jones said. "He didn't have nothing to do with the injury and he was in the middle of the huddle. He did that [expletive] the whole game. The [expletive] officials did a horrible job, the whole [expletive] game. What the [expletive] is the difference from the hit Vontaze had than the other hit [from Bengals defensive back Shawn Williams earlier in the game]? What's the difference? Tell me. Then they have Jerry Porter in the middle of the field. He's not even supposed to be on the [expletive] field. I'm done talking to you [expletives]."

pretty sure all the expletives are variations of fuck

add: just pieced it all together, reading about it doesn't cut it. holy shit what a game ending. and holy shit did the bengals lose that game in every way possible. you have to work hard to lose like that. no offense cg but the fans and the whole team just look bad. horrible sportsmanship from the players. i know its heated but damn. roger needs to keep a lid on that shit fuck fines though. cinci fans and players are hood af. burfict should be out for like 6 games at least for that shit.

I have to go watch the Burfect hit on Ben again, I didnt notice what you described. I've been dazed from watching AB getting whacked over and over.

Pacman just needs to go away. He is another good athlete with bad character and this game showed why the NFL is embarrassed by such behavior.

Burfect, I don't believe he is a dirty player but injuring 3 Steelers (and a Raven in week 17) in one season is enough evidence to support such a statement. I hope he seeks counseling in the off season. He has All Pro talent but his temperament is terrible.
 
I agree on the accounts of both of those "football players"

man, I'm all about playing football with an edge, mean. I am even all about some trash talk, granted if it's all in good fun (see: Joey Porter in his day)

we are NFL fans of teams in the AFC North - on average, the toughest division in football this past decade. our teams are known to play till the bone; each game is a rivalry

the Steelers have had some brutal hitters in their lore, stemming from the busters of the 70s Dynasty Teams - "Mean" Joe Green, "Give Em Hell" Mel Blount, "Toothless" Jack Lambert... to the stars of 80/90s like Kevin Greene... to the modern day monsters like "Smilin' Hines Ward, Joey "They Shot Me in Denver!" Porter, James Harrison, Troy "Pawandmaulu," Ryan Shazier, et al...

however hard those guys hit and however much trash they talked, they usually did so in-between the whistles. as a football purist, anything after the whistle is extra-curricular, and is fucking trash

my point is - the Bengals don't realize that you can be one hard-hittin' mother fucker who jaws off most intimidatingly - but you can do so without, at worst, becoming a liability to your teammates, at best, becoming an embarrassment to your franchise and Head Coach!

however, we are speaking of the Bengals. ya'll don't have to deal with their insufferable fans as much as I fucking have to. their players representing their franchise embarrassingly, with their fan base closely and loyally following suit, embarrassing is what they've been acting the last decade (the entire time that Cinci has been semi-good at playing football
