Last flag was unnecessary. Make them kick a 50 yarder.
How do the steelers get away with a coach in the middle of the other teams huddle?
Guy was trolling lol.
My question is this. What is a Pittsburgh linebacker coach doing on the field? It was not his player(defense)that was down, and he can say he was checking on his player but he was a good 10 yards away from the player.It wasn't the huddle.
Top 5 Wildcard FAILS
Would have provided a better dramatic ending, but it was the right call, IMO.
It's because the man in they answer to, Mike Tomlin, is an arrogant jackass.Pittsburgh's coaches are developing quite the resume of on-field antics, I think it's bullcrap they let him get away with that. A flag should've been thrown immediately on Porter for being smack dab in the middle of the field while jawing at the other team. WTF, bad officiating that favors a marquee franchise again, shocker.
Three main lessons here: never celebrate too early, penalties do matter, and prevent defense may cost you the game. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is the Bengals way. They have yet to win a playoff game with Marvin Lewis at the helm.
So what's worse, never getting to the dance or blowing it every time you get there?
Kind of reminds me of the frustration I felt during the John Robinson years in the 80s and the Chuck Knox years of the 70s.
Those playoff losses hurt.
I'm sort of numb to bad football right now.
But would I rather the Rams get there and lose?
At least once in awhile. I miss playoff football.
It was not at all the right call. There should have been offsetting penalties on Joey Porter and Jones AT MOST. Porter is not a player. The only reason he can come on the field is to tend to the injured player. He was not doing that. He was instigating a fight with the Bengals players. If what Jones did is a personal foul, Porter should get a personal foul. Even if you argue that he didn't do anything outrageous enough to deserve it, the fact that he was on the field and not tending to the injured player is enough ALONE for a personal foul.
The refs handed Pittsburgh the win on a silver platter.
