The ref should be disciplined hard for not flagging Shazier though. I don't know what kind of punishment they can dole out to refs, but he should get alot of it. That was a blatant and disgusting hit.

The rest is just meh at this point. The bengals are mostly responsible for their own demise

Alternatively, unfair and imbalanced calls are the only way to control a game. If you call offsetting penalites whenever two guys start beating the poo poo out of each other it doesn't serve as much of a disincentive.

unfortunately it was the most entertaining NFL game i've watched in years. headhunting and the conflict it inspires (on the field and off it) is unbelievably entertaining and the NFL is probably not overly concerned.

They should be able to review penalties, just like college does for targeting.

Like, they had to look at that play to see if it was a fumble. They obviously saw it was an illegal hit at that point, but they can't do anything because they didn't call it. Use replay for these things, and also eject players for them.

Offsetting penalties between Jones and Porter would have left neither team or fanbase happy but it would have defused the situation and gotten the focus back on the game, instead of having a call that makes a huge impact on the FG try

actually never mind the FG try, without that additional penalty there's a chance pittsburgh runs another play first before the FG try, and all sorts of crazy outcomes could spring from that

The NFL is terrified of ejecting players which is a problem. Burlict should have been ejected a long time ago. I mean the announcers were saying he was running around uncontrollably on the sideline. Trying to start fights.

If they're on the field checking on the player that's fine. If they're out there cussing out and getting in the faces of the other team, that's a problem.

Yeah, charles is right, I mean look at the OBJ vs Josh Norman situation. Yeah OBJ was penalized after the game, but that's another example of what I'm talking about. It was happening again and again that the refs should have known the situation. They knew it was going to keep happening and it did keep happening. The only proper thing to do in that game was eject one or both of the players, and instead they just kept letting it happen and flagging it. It was loving brutal to watch

A penalty for taunting is the same as a penalty for unnecessary roughness/facemask/etc.

So to the NFL, they are equivalent penalties.

if jones didn't respond to porter, another player would have. it was an intentional laying of bait for someone to take, in a SEA of bengals players. in that situation, i feel that offsetting unsportsmanlikes was the best way of defusing it

I'm saying that there's a stronger disincentive against escalating conflict or retaliating when each team has to worry about the possibility that they're going to be "unfairly" get the brunt of the punishment. If things are going to get called in a way such that they predictably balance out, then what reason do they have not to just act like maniacs?

It's more than that; it's the obvious response! NFL refs are spineless and issue offsetting unsportmenlikes all the time. That's literally the NFL's default position in scrums.

Man what the gently caress I don't care how competitive you are, it's not that loving hard to not put your hands on someone.

"Bait," really? Plenty of NFL players seem to find it perfectly easy to not be a giant shitlord and avoid these sorts of things. If you're the aggressive type, it's not the job of the refs/coaches/the league to work around you, it is your job to find a way to not be an rear end in a top hat.

but tbh i agree that the fact that what pacman did and what burfict did are tantamount in the eyes of the NFL illuminates the fact that they don't take player safety seriously at all. if you want to eliminate hits like that, make a defenseless/leading with the crown of the helmet hit a full field penalty...i bet people wouldn't do it if it was.

You keep characterizing it like Porter went to Cincy's sideline and started jawing. He was escorting Brown off of the field and pushed Burfict's arm when he put his hand on Brown's shoulder. #95 ran up and bumped Porter, separating him from the Brown group, and several other Bengals came to surround him. Dickheads all around, but nothing flagrant or worth a flag.

Then Pacman came flying at him and tried to flail through three refs to get him.
