They should and I think they will. His season being over doesn't matter.

i know was stuck in nhl mode for a sec and thought dops was making the decison

Porter should have received a flag and 15 yards penalty no doubt.

IMO the coach on the side should have different attire than the trainers so the refs don't confuse them.

The steelers dodged a bullet but they could still have won it with a 50 yards field goal.

They probably would have run a play or two to make it a closer kick than 50 anyways, they still had time. However if the refs flag Porter right away and take him off the field then Pacman doesn't get a penalty.

they just said that joey porter got a game ball. if thats true thats interesting

Well deserved.

 

[td_ice]

Wacthing local news, Pittsburgh reporter on the field at games end talking to players saying that the Bengals fans were throwing beer and debris at Steelers players and staff as they walked off. Showed a clip. You can hear a coach telling players " put your helmets back on"...haha.

The NFL borrowed some officials from the NHL for this game.

terrible job by the officials, no way should they have thrown that 2nd flag, they ref is looking right at joey porter....burfict is an idiot but that 2nd penalty was the killer and IMO was terrible

All the ref felt was someone bump him. Automatic flag. Just turned out to be a Bengal.

How many games will Burfict get to start 2016?

I'll go with 4.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

What no one else is talking about is why wasn't AJ Green out for the two point conversion attempt? I mean, he is your best offensive player and likely player overall.

That failure wound up being the difference between overtime.

Both teams went for 2 and flopped. Though if Pitt got their 2 we would have had overtime. Interesting how their miss changed the outlook of how the game was played. I get why they went for 2 though I don't necessarily agree with it. They'd have had to convert 2 two pointers to tie down 16.

Right call throwing a flag but there should've been one on Porter too. Offsetting penalties.

That Bengals 2pt attempt still makes me laugh.

Well the ref slid in front of Jones while he was moving toward Porter. Its not like Jones jumped on the ref.

 

[Reality Check]

It likely won't happen. But if Lewis gets canned and Hue Jackson does take a job elsewhere, this would be a perfect spot for Coughlin.

Short term, win-now mode team.

Porter should of not been out there. no doubt. But 99.99 percent of the players in the league keep their composure.

Yeah, I didn't understand it. Why go for such a ridiculous play like that.

the only thing that would of been better then the ending of that game is if the Steelers returned the conversion for 2 points.

It doesn't matter. Jones needs to chill.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Seemed like the ultimate trying to outthink the opposition play. Horrifically low percentage play there...they didn't even have Green on the field as a decoy for crying out loud.

the only thing that would of been better then the ending of that game is if the Steelers returned the conversion for 2 points.

Burfict not being down by contact and running all the way down for the safety would have been the ultimate way.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Don't we quite often see coaches come on the field when a guy looks to be hurt? I don't think I've ever seen a flag for it.

Nah. I think it would be better Burfict hasn't been touched after his INT and ran through his own end zone.

They will cut Burfict and Jones.

That'd be interesting. I think they'll promote from within though if Lewis goes. If not Jackson then Guenther.

haha, yes.

well do you normally see outside linebacker coaches coming out for an injured receiver?
