A stinger wouldn't have affected him by the time he came out for that final drive.Ironman92;1774623 wrote:Didn't look like a stinger type play but maybe.

Whatever it was he was back on the sideline when they came back from break and 1:55 left and Tomlin sent Landry back out there. Had Hill not fumbled Ben wouldn't have came in....Landry's ineptness seemed to push Tomlin's hand out of desperation.like_that;1774627 wrote:A stinger wouldn't have affected him by the time he came out for that final drive.
I would have liked for the last 18 seconds to be played out 2nd and 10 from the 46 of the Bengals.....we'll never know.
Herman Edwards had an interesting rant this morning I thought about the game.

Mt favorite thing today has been these steeler fans on twitter saying ban Burfict from the NFL. These same fans stuck up for Harrison when he was making dirty plays left and right. Steelers fans are the worst for a reason..

Big beg was trying to go all Paul Pierce. Dude is a drama queen. Couldn't care less if he's hurt now. Tired of him.

We were headed to Austintown when this game was ending and were stuck listening to a local Youngstown/Steeler homer radio station. Even the Steeler announcer asked "if Ben was able to play after he went out, why did it take him so long to come back in?"Midstate01;1774636 wrote:Big beg was trying to go all Paul Pierce.

Wouldn't surprise me if he played on Sunday and the "Godsend" lead them to victory.
This may have been mentioned but if Antonio Brown clears concussion protocol and is active for this game, someone needs to look into the league's practices because something's very fishy. He's lucky his head is still attached.

The Burfict hit is going to be flagged every time. First off, it's Burfict. Second, it's in the center of the field where everyone has a view of it.
The second flag, at minimum, should've been 15-yard off-setting on Jones and Porter. Sure, Boswell still has a 50-yarder, but that's much more challenging than a 35-yarder in those conditions.

There are different grades to concussions. I saw vids of him in the lockerroom after the game and he appeared to be fine. I'm assuming it was only deemed a Grade 1.BR1986FB;1774776 wrote: This may have been mentioned but if Antonio Brown clears concussion protocol and is active for this game, someone needs to look into the league's practices because something's very fishy.

After the hit I thought he was out on the field and it was severe.

Can't forget there was 18 seconds left. Could've been shorter, could've been longer, could've been pick 6 or a TDAzubuike24;1774779 wrote:The Burfict hit is going to be flagged every time. First off, it's Burfict. Second, it's in the center of the field where everyone has a view of it.

This can't be assumed though. I may be wrong but the ball was at the 32 yard line and Pittsburgh had a 1st down with :18 seconds and one timeout left. Not saying they would've gotten it any closer but they would've at least had the chance to dink & dunk for another 5-10 yards.Azubuike24;1774779 wrote: Sure, Boswell still has a 50-yarder, but that's much more challenging than a 35-yarder in those conditions.
EDIT: Ironman beat me to it.

Yeah, I didn't put in my .02 on Burfict. Dude is a first class piece of shit. I'd hate to have to root for a team that he plays on. Just a total turd.
