Seems like a lot of griping & whining implying that the penalty on Burfict alone cost the Bengals the game. Scoring zero points for the first 3 quarters also had a lot to do with it. And remember: that play was 1st down, and there was still :22 on the clock (I think) plenty of time for one or two more chances for the Steelers to complete a 15 yard pass and get out of bounds. Not that I haven’t enjoyed this thread turning into **The 5th Annual Bengals March to a 1st round Playoff loss** thread 😉 ---

> [@MOIDALIZE](#): > > Antonio Brown listed as doubtful with a fake concussion. How DARE you take his side! Goddamn faker, that hit was nothing, and now he’s sticking with the lie. Why, Pittsburgh should cut that malingerer right now, putting himself above the team! And the independent neurologists, can’t they see through the act? Pacman Jones and every Bengals fan did, it should be easy for them. ---

So now Jones will apologize…if Brown doesn’t play this week. ---

Last I checked, game is over, right? Unless, of course, that petition gets the game result overturned. Good luck with that. Also, Burfict got about half the suspension he deserved. Just saying. ---
