Cincinnati Bengals-Pittsburgh Steelers 2016 Playoff Thread

[Dom Heffner]

I didn't realize scoring points on a message board counted in life. My bad.

Oh get over yourself.

[Stray]

That's a big 7 yards to be honest.

[Dom Heffner]

It is not a rule. It is a description of your attitude.

Another rule.

[RedEye]

That's a big 7 yards to be honest.

Small victories. [emoji23]

[RedEye]

Another rule.

You lost me.

[Redsfaithful]

Hahahahahaha.

Just admit you were wrong. No need to hit people for something they've been telling you for months and you wouldn't listen.

Dalton's out but this is as poor a performance by a professional football team that I've ever seen.

I said you win, how is that not admitting I was wrong for being optimistic? Like I said, hope it feels good! Enjoy, you get to feel less upset or something since you didn't get invested. I guess that's the strategy?

[757690]

Are you watching this?

Yep. Bengals suck so far. But I've seen plenty of teams turn it around late in the game. Especially at home. Not saying it will happen, but I don't see a loss as a sure thing.

[Stray]

lol @ Andre Smith seeing 3 Steelers on that screen and attempting to block none of them

that's a first down if he tries

[WrongVerb]

Oh get over yourself.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

[Dom Heffner]

You lost me.

As Sea Ray says, that seems to happen a lot.

[RedEye]

As Sea Ray says, that seems to happen a lot.

A new low for you there Dom. You're just trolling at this point. You are better than that.

[Stray]

we undoubtedly end up trying to run behind some scheme that has Eifert 1 on 1'ing a DE so often. I'm no football guru or anything, but yea man that's prolly not gonna work.

[Dom Heffner]

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Oh Dom, why is the second seed so important, the Steelers stink....

Well..ya know.

[Stray]

And that's not a helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver

[Ibleedblue]

I guess that wasn't an illegal hit, right?

[Joseph]

And that should do it.

I'm so so so beyond sick of this every year.

I watched with some small sliver of hope, but....I gave up last after last year. I jumped on the Raiders bandwagon, not disappointed by that decision right now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Why is that not a defenseless receiver

[The Operator]

Gio is hurt on a helmt to helmet hit that would get The Bengals flagged.

[Ibleedblue]

Good for Hill! I like to see some fight even if it isn't helping the team at all.

[dabvu2498]

That's helmet to helmet. On a defenseless receiver. No flag.

[RedEye]

Oh Dom, why is the second seed so important, the Steelers stink....

Well..ya know.

I never made those arguments. I absolutely wanted to avoid the Steelers too.

[Dom Heffner]

A new low for you there Dom. You're just trolling at this point. You are better than that.

I know, you're perfect.

[Stray]

Remember, Williams was flagged for a shoulder to shoulder hit. Pittsburgh has got away with 2 helmet hits.

[schmidty622]

Defenseless receiver... Only seems to matter when it's against the Bengals.

[WrongVerb]

Oh Dom, why is the second seed so important, the Steelers stink....

Well..ya know.

You win one internets.

[dabvu2498]

Mike Carey can kiss the baby.

[RedEye]

Worst possible outcome when your guys get hurt too.

[WMR]

Pittsburgh is so freaking dirty.......

I really despise them and they just own the Bengals.

[WrongVerb]

Defenseless receiver... Only seems to matter when it's against the Bengals.

This. The hit by Williams on the receiver was less head-to-head than the hit on Bernard. Holy crap!

[The Operator]

Steelers will win this challenge. You watch.

[WMR]

How was that hit not leading with the crown of the helmet penalty?!?!?!

[Stray]

You can almost feel the Burfict nasty hit coming, whether it's fair or not. He takes this stuff personally and I'm sure Ben or someone is about to get one.

Refs prevent this by not being terrible.

[RedEye]

This is just total BS.

[WrongVerb]

At this point I'm seriously suggesting this:

Sweep the knee, Vontaze. Sweep the knee!

[Reds Fanatic]

They will. God I hate the Steelers. If that was the Bengals they would have been penalized and the Steelers will get the ball

[WMR]

This ref analyst dude is an ignorant jackass.

[Ibleedblue]

OMG. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[Dom Heffner]

You win one internets.

Hahahahahaha.

I know- you all argued with me for months over it and now it's no big deal.

[Reds Fanatic]

This ref analyst dude is an ignorant jackass.

It was pitiful that the NFL assingned the same ref from the last game to this game.

[KoryMac5]

I would think if I was a Steeler fan I would leave the stadium right about now.

[WMR]

It was pitiful that the NFL assingned the same ref from the last game to this game.

Isn't leading with the crown of the helmet ALWAYS a penalty??????????

[Stray]

So lets say there's a questionable hit in this game.... Well flag every single one for 15 yards.

That mindset ends this crap.

Bengals got hosed and now you have a situation.

[757690]

NFL refs are terrible. Always have been. But championship teams rise above bad calls.

[schmidty622]

So lets say there's a questionable hit in this game.... Well flag every single one for 15 yards.

That mindset ends this crap.

Bengals got hosed and now you have a situation.

Hey you got your excuse to be optimistic for next year!

[WrongVerb]

Good. Break Ben's ribs!

[WMR]

Yes!!!!!! Kill Rapelisberger!!

[Stray]

I can hear the Pittsburgh fans saying "Burfict did it again"

[WMR]

The Ghost of Carson Palmer's Knee

[The Operator]

Oh no, Ben might be hurt!!!!

[SteelSD]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

[RedEye]

Hey you got your excuse to be optimistic for next year!

So do you like being pessimistic or is this just a game of managing expectations to the extreme? Believe me, I've been through the same stuff you have, but I just can't survive this level of cynicism.

[Dom Heffner]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

Oh spare us, there, Keith Gary.

There must be a Steelers board you can go to and talk about the Nixon years.

[schmidty622]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

Congrats! You win the moral high ground! Also, no one cares.

[WrongVerb]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

If the refs are going to make calls like they've been making, what's the difference? I hope Ben's ribs or shoulder is broken.

[Dom Heffner]

So do you like being pessimistic or is this just a game of managing expectations to the extreme? Believe me, I've been through the same stuff you have, but I just can't survive this level of cynicism.

Can you just let people be and stop playing Jimmy Carter?

[WMR]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.
It would only be karma for decades of dirty steelers play...

I don't want him literally killed...

Maimed will be fine.

[Redsfaithful]

Hahahahahaha.

I know- you all argued with me for months over it and now it's no big deal.

lol at least you're having fun

True "fan"

[The Operator]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.I remember the deluge of Steeler fans taunting us about Carson in '05 on a Bengals baord I used to post on.

Sorry, no sympathy from me.

[SteelSD]

Wow. Just wow. Stay classy Bengals fans.

[Stray]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

This isn't your average hatred. I'm kinda with you cuz I hope nobody gets injured and wish the refs would control the garbage, but I get where Cincy fans are coming from. Huber's jaw, Carson's knee, AJ's brain, Eifert's brain, Rivers', etc...

If Cincy fans are gonna get a little classless I can kinda get it against Pittsburgh.

[757690]

I don't wish Ben to get hurt as a Bengal fan. I wish Ben to get hurt to protect the women he runs into at bars ;)

[KoryMac5]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

Emotions are running pretty high in here tonight. It's been a rough night and I am sure folks will look at things differently in the AM.

[Dom Heffner]

Burfict pinned Roethlisberger like he was a hotel employee.

[Brutus]

The Steelers are the dirtiest team in football. Period.

They have high hits, low blows, etc. every single game and they go haywire when it happens to them.

That no-call on Shazier is a crime. Just because Bernard was no longer a "Defenseless receiver" does not mean a player can launch with the crown of his helmet into someone's head. That was a total crime that it wasn't called. This whole game is garbage. The Steelers, again, are as dirty as they come but they've been acting like a bunch of thugs because they're still upset about Burfict's hit on Bell.

[schmidty622]

So do you like being pessimistic or is this just a game of managing expectations to the extreme? Believe me, I've been through the same stuff you have, but I just can't survive this level of cynicism.

Pessimism and I have complicated relationship. I am kinda like a battered spouse I would say. (But not really cus this is just sports and not real life)

[Playadlc]

Y'know, I never hope a player gets injured; even for a hated opponent. Some of you guys are pretty classless.

Shut up.

[Dom Heffner]

Wow. Just wow. Stay classy Bengals fans.

Listen dude- we've been taking your Hines Ward, Keith Gary hits for years.

So. Be. It.

[The Operator]

Wow. Just wow. Stay classy Bengals fans.Hey, at least you got him for 3 quarters.

At least nobody dove straight at his knees on the first series of the game.

[Stray]

But yeah, we're still a TD from a ball game and just got a PI

The NFL will fine him because that will make everything right in the world.

We got a ballgame...

[Slyder]

This game isn't over yet. Its time to see what you all do against Pitts backup.

[RedTeamGo!]

Not over yet.

1 score game dudes.

I have no idea how, but yeah. Really. 1 score away.

[Ibleedblue]

Wow. Just wow. Stay classy Bengals fans.

[RedEye]

Can you just let people be and stop playing Jimmy Carter?

I wasn't talking to you, but thanks.

[Dom Heffner]

Guy catches that Ben pick and it's a 5 point game.

It's huge. Winning teams make those plays.

[SteelSD]

Shut up.

Take it to PM. But your post was reported. Keep it coming.

[Redsfaithful]

Wow. Just wow. Stay classy Bengals fans.

I hope his career is over. Karma is rough when you're on the receiving end.

[WrongVerb]

Ben Raplesburger out of the game for now. Hope he's out for the playoffs. Got that Steel?

[Dom Heffner]

I wasn't talking to you, but thanks.

You're welcome. Glad you admit you needed the advice.

[Stray]

The only thing that's certain in Bengals vs Steelers games is that people get injured, not hurt. Most of the time we both come out worse off than we entered.

The league says they're "embarrassed" and they're "going to get control" but none of that happened.

They market these bloodbaths so I'm not shocked that it's been iffy.

Burfict's hit was clean tho but not like that even matters to a Pittsburgh fan. Kimo may as well have rolled his fat butt outta the stands into McCarron's knees the way Pittsburgh fans see this.

[Brutus]

Take it to PM. But your post was reported. Keep it coming.

You really gonna clutter the game thread with this response? No one cares what posts you're reporting. Just do it quietly and be done with it.

[Playadlc]

We got a ballgame...


Take it to PM. But your post was reported. Keep it coming.

Great.

[WVRed]

Shoulder injury return is questionable

[SteelSD]

Ben Raplesburger out of the game for now. Hope he's out for the playoffs. Got that Steel?

Well, I hope all the Bengals players recover and are ready for the next round of the playoffs if they win the game.

It's just a game, bro.

[Redhook]

Screw the Steelers. I hope Ben is out for the playoffs. Bunch of cheap-shot criminals. They get what they deserve.

[RedEye]

Pessimism and I have complicated relationship. I am kinda like a battered spouse I would say. (But not really cus this is just sports and not real life)

I hear ya. Definitely. All Bengals fans are like that. I guess I just try to stay positive. If I can.

[Dom Heffner]

Ben Raplesburger out of the game for now. Hope he's out for the playoffs. Got that Steel?

I love you. Let's skip this crazy town and run away together...

[Ibleedblue]

Can you guys just take your optimism v pessimism debate somewhere else? There's a game going on and despite how ugly it's been, we are back in this thing, can we just talk about that, maybe? Possibly?

[RedEye]

You're welcome. Glad you admit you needed the advice.

You're making my point with this constant trolling.

[Redhook]

Well, I hope all the Bengals players recover and are ready for the next round of the playoffs if they win the game.

It's just a game, bro.

It's not a game when you're intentionally trying to kill someone which is what the Steelers have done in multiple incidents against the Bengals.

[The Operator]

And now they give up a 25-yard rush. Ugh.

[Stray]

Take it to PM. But your post was reported. Keep it coming.

You are a Steeler fan.
You are on a Cincinnati Reds board.
You are in a Cincinnati Bengals game thread on the Cincinnati Reds board.
Your team has taken cheap shots on our team for decades, injuring several dudes.
You are trying to play some moral high ground in a rivalry that literally has none on either side.

My advice? Go to your Pittsburgh board for the rest of this game. You're not gonna find what you're lookin for in this thread, in this matchup, and especially in this game.

[WVRed]

I'd donate a weeks pay to Burficts fine.

[RedEye]

I stopped watching and they scored. I knew I should have been watching on Gamecenter all along.

[Yachtzee]

Honestly, I turned the game off when Shazier hit Bernard leading with his helmet because I can't deal with listening to the announcers justify a blatant illegal hit. Now I'm afraid to turn it back on because they're doing well.

[RedEye]

Welp. Still can't stop Toussaint.

Carlos Dunlap is a freakin monster man.

I'm a member of the board. It has rules. I'll follow 'em and post where I see fit, thank you.

You reported a post in a sports thread?

That's great.

[RichRed]

I'm not even a Bengals fan, but good God the Steelers and their fans are despicable.

[Redsfaithful]

You reported a post in a sports thread?

That's great.

Should have retired to his fainting couch. Could have joined Phil Simms.

[Stray]

I'm a member of the board. It has rules. I'll follow 'em and post where I see fit, thank you.

My advice had nothing to do with board rules, just to do with you enjoying the game. If you're a Steelers fan there's surely somewhere you could post about this game and have a more enjoyable experience?

Bengals fans loathe the Steelers. You can play forum rules all you want but that isn't gonna change the fact.

So why even come here and attempt to enforce when there's so many other alternatives?

This rivalry is ugly and nobody will agree with you more about the garbage than me, but it's there and hasn't been taken away by the league. I'm sure they make money on it.

[Brutus]

Honestly, I have never wanted a Bengals' win as much as I do right now. Just give me this game. I don't care what happens the rest of the playoffs... I would die a happy person if they win this. I don't want to see this Steelers team get a win after the garbage they're pulling.

Win this freakin' game Cincinnati. That's all I ask.

[Slyder]

We'll See if the Bengals can make my prediction come true when Pittsburgh went for two.

Theres gonna be a time when Coach Tomlin is going to regret going for 2. The Bengals are 1 or 2 big plays from being right back. take the 1 and make it 2 2 pt conversions to tie. Chasing points is NEVER a good idea.

[The Operator]

LOL the CBS announcers are just dying to call that an illegal hit. They keep keep keep going back "So I mean, I guess that's legal right?".

[Roy Tucker]

Watch Shazier get fined for that hit. I can't understsnd how that's not a personal foul. Particularly with all the bad blood out there. Refs absolutely cannot let that go on. You don't make that call, you get a game like this thst's out of control.

[SteelSD]

So why even come here and attempt to enforce when there's so many other alternatives?

Because I'm a member of Redszone and have a long history of posting (very respectfully I may add) during Bengals/Steelers games. Your "advice" is neither appreciated nor warranted.

Can we move on please?

[SteelSD]

Uh...you got suspended didn't you?

No, but feel free to think what you like.

Since it'll be talked about. There's been a lotta iffy hits in this game, Burfict on Ben wasn't one of them.

Ben is out so kicking is the right call.

Defense has to get us the ball back.

Need a pick 6 or fumble recovery for td.

It's a winnable game now. Make plays.

[Brutus]

Since it'll be talked about. There's been a lotta iffy hits in this game, Burfict on Ben wasn't one of them.

That fact won't stop the Steelers from complaining about it after the game. They'll be headhunting first game against the Bengals next season.

After passing on the Chiefs D I'd love to see a pick 6.

Yeah why did they even replay that to question it. Clearly legal. Unlike the helmet-to-helmet on Bernard.

That fact won't stop the Steelers from complaining about it after the game. They'll be headhunting first game against the Bengals next season.

To be fair, they'd be headhunting regardless.

To be fair, they'd be headhunting regardless.

Fair point, sir. I concede.

Ben back on the field lol

[Stray]

After passing on the Chiefs D I'd love to see a pick 6.

My DK lineup has the Chiefs D. And Kelce who had a good game. And Eifert who could have a nice day with a TD.

I'm still reeling from going 1/4 in 10 dollar NBA double ups today. Had been on a roll too.

Ben is so brave. :rolleyes:

It sounded like Jim Nance got a chubby when he announced that Ben was coming back into the game.

[Slyder]

Ben back on the field lol

Vick's inactive so Ben's probably the "emergency" qb to hand it off 3 times and punt.

[Stray]

Love Marvin reaching in to hold Burfict back right now. He's on the edge and Marvin knows/loves it.

Pac Man! Great return!

Why are you even here? You're not even talking about the game. There's no reason for you to be here. Simply being a member of the board isn't a valid reason for trolling, which is essentially what you're doing since you have not even commented on the game itself.

Go for a double move.
A Sanu pass.

Something.

We got field position and momentum.

Okey dokey. Let's move that ball.

Seriously!

I know who's picking up Ben's next bar tab...

[Stray]

I made a good call with the beer run since idk if I could have handled this w/o it.

Being a Bengals fan is work man.

[Ibleedblue]

This is it, boys. One possession with 26 years of playoff failures riding on it.

[SteelSD]

Yup. There we go. Pittsbugh isn't going to be able to hold onto this one. Too much chaos and the Bengals have too much skilled position players. This one will likely end up 17-15 Bengals.

And I really wish the game didn't have this much drama involved in it (which is the first thing I posted tonight).

[Stray]

Marvin Jones is so underrated. If he got more balls thrown his way he'd be a household name. He catches everything.

Here it is.

You can go back to the last Steeler/Bengals matchup in the Bengals thread and find a lotta the same opinion. But as long as both sides feel like they owe each other and nobody steps in to stop it, well you get the bloodbaths we get now. From a fan perspective, you're just not gonna find much love for the Steelers here. A Steeler has ruined too many of our guys seasons and playoff hopes with dirty hits.

[Roy Tucker]

They've suspended that rule for this game. Evidently.

Here's my first post in the thread tonight prior to game time:


I agree. Williams was signed to help prevent the situation Pittsburgh was in last season after losing Bell. I don't expect Cinci to have any respect for the Steelers' run game, and they probably shouldn't.

Should be a good game regardless. Just hope it's clean and drama-free.

I popped in with a Steelers lead and, frankly, didn't want to rile up folks while they were being fatalistic. I don't know who you think you are, but I can post where I like.

Yup.

Burfict is a gangster and I love it!

I love that Burfict hates the Steelers as much as I do. :)

Jim Nance is losing it.

BURFICT!!

Please tell me Hill was down.

[WMR]

You have got to be kidding me....

He was down. A couple times.

I got nervous, couldn't even remember the play at the time lol.

This game is CRAZY!

[WMR]

Wow... I'm speechless... it's still gonna get bungled isn't it?

That is a fumble bros.

Defense back at it.

Nothing is easy. Wake me up when it's over pls.

[SteelSD]

Trust me. The Bengals will blow this somehow. Disaster fumble on the way.

Jeez, that was prophetic. But no worries. If upheld on review, it'll just lead to another INT within two plays.

Trust me. The Bengals will blow this somehow. Disaster fumble on the way.

Prophetic.

[Ibleedblue]

Jeez, that was prophetic. But no worries. If upheld on review, it'll just lead to another INT within two plays.

Nope. Like you said, I'm prophetic. Steelers will win this just to add another tortured chapter in the Bengals book of Doom.

[schmidty622]

Bengals would be pick tipped into a Steeler's players hand for a TD... CALLED IT!

[WMR]

This would be the bengaliest bungle ever...

[Stray]

I almost can't even watch this. What has this city done to me...

[Roy Tucker]

Hill you idiot.

[Ibleedblue]

A Big Ben INT would make my day.

[757690]

Why not take a knee a few times, then kick a field goal? Worse case, the Steelers have less than a minute to score a touchdown.

[WrongVerb]

Ben can't throw a deep ball.

[The Operator]

Here we go... I really can't take this.

[WMR]

Bengals going prevent. Lol

[schmidty622]

Haha! They are gonna get a FG attempt off aren't they?

[SteelSD]

There'll be a sack coming. The Steelers' left tackle is awful.

[schmidty622]

There'll be a sack coming. The Steelers' left tackle is awful.

Staaaaap

[Roy Tucker]

Ben can't throw.

[Ibleedblue]

There'll be a sack coming. The Steelers' left tackle is awful.

Nah Big Ben will make some huge play and the media will slurp him all week.

[Slyder]

I'd press. I'd make Ben go deep.

[SteelSD]

May have been a game-saving tackle there.

[WMR]

Amazing play by Michael Johnson. Wow, what an athlete.

[Ibleedblue]

This is nuts.

[Ibleedblue]

OMG

[The Operator]

Jesus Christ. That's the game.

[RedEye]

And I thought this would just be a ho-hum 15-0 loss. Turning far more painful.

[Ibleedblue]

They found yet another way to Bungle.

[WMR]

Lol

[Reds Fanatic]

I am just sick

[Joseph]

I have to laugh. I have to laugh. It's ridiculous.

[Tom Servo]

what a goddamn idiot

[The Operator]

Way to go Burfict...

[SteelSD]

God, I really didn't want this game potentially decided by penalties. Despite the drama, this has been a great game so far.

[WrongVerb]

Burfict! Dammit!

[RedEye]

Good god. What an implosion.

[Roy Tucker]

Idiot.

[The Operator]

Someone betetr get Burfict on some meds or he's gonna kill somebody.

[Ibleedblue]

Hope he's happy. They had the win in their hands.

[Stray]

That's a good call but his body was coming down and there's no way Burfict could no it. I don't blame Burfict for it.

[RedEye]

Two idiots

[Slyder]

I do know this Im sick of this announcing crew... That wasn't THAT BAD compared to some of the stuff not called.

[kaldaniels]

That's a good call but his body was coming down and there's no way Burfict could no it. I don't blame Burfict for it.

No. He lowered the boom.

[Dom Heffner]

They just can't do it. And it's discipline. That comes from coaching.

[The Operator]

I'm so sick of this crap.

[schmidty622]

Bengals is as Bengals does.

[WMR]

What a sorry ass embarrassment of a franchise. What a way to lose.

[Slyder]

Of course Pacman.

[The Operator]

This is why Marvin needs to go. He has no control of this team.

[RedEye]

Bengals is as Bengals does.

Yep. You are right this time. Dead right.

[Stray]

Can we get a legit replay of why we just got called for 30 yards of penalty? I didn't see it.

[Ibleedblue]

Pitiful way to lose. I can accept it if the Steelers just beat them, but this sucks. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

[SteelSD]

I went to the bathroom. What the heck just happened?

[Roy Tucker]

Wow. Totally loss of control.

You can't let this happen.

[Slyder]

No. He lowered the boom.

It was bad luck that Brown stumbled when he landed. IMO. If he lands straight that's right in the chest.

[kaldaniels]

It was bad luck that Brown stumbled when he landed. IMO. If he lands straight that's right in the chest.

Shoulder was lowered. He has to pull up. Sorry.

[CTA513]

typical bungles type of plays to give away a game
