OldBrownsFan Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 If there were other coaches on the field why is only one coach looking at getting fined over it? The answer is that coach Joey Porter was out there causing trouble: Bengals call Steelers' Joey Porter ‘embarrassment' to coaching“To me that’s not what an NFL coach is as a professional,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. “I think it’s an embarrassment to the coaching profession.” Guenther watched video of Porter in the previous game between the two teams standing on the sidelines talking trash to the Bengals defenders even though the Steelers defense was meeting behind him. The coordinator says he was frustrated to the point he approached Porter before the game and asked for him to stop talking to Bengals players during the game. “I asked him nicely, said, ‘Joey, this is supposed to be a clean game, two divisional opponents, a playoff game. I told my guys I don’t want any talking or any bull on the field. Do me a favor, don’t talk to our players I won't talk to your players,’” Guenther said. “Well, at the end of the battle that son of a (expletive) is standing in the middle of the field.” Guenther was far from alone in taking on the Steelers’ coach. “I respect all opponents,” said tackle Andrew Whitworth. “I always have. I have a ton of respect for the Steelers. (Coach Mike) Tomlin and I had a big hug at the end of the game, just apologizing for everything that happened. I've got a ton of respect for those guys. Joey Porter is not one of them. He's not one of the guys I respect very much. He's a guy that has always run his mouth. He's always been disrespectful to people. In the first game here, he was out at midfield M-Fing everybody, wanting to fight. And then doing that in this game. He's not a football player anymore, he's a coach, so he's got to be held to a higher standard. I think the unprofessionalism he's shown is just ridiculous. It really is. So that's unfortunate.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2016/01/11/bengals-criticize-steelers-assistant-coach-joey-porter/78641112/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, can we put to rest Shaziers hit? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/11/shazier-non-call-was-the-right-call/ It isn't the fact that he was on the field per se....it was the fact that when on the field he instigated a fracas with the players on the other team.

London Bengal Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I believe you're just another butthurt moron. Steeler penalties - 10 for 142 yds., Bengals 8-79...and 2 of those occurred toward the end of the game when 2 Bengal thugs lost control, losing it for their team. And since you're so butthurt about one Steeler coach being on the field... Furthermore, can we put to rest Shaziers hit? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/11/shazier-non-call-was-the-right-call/ Only if you accept it was a deliberate hit with the top of the helmet that could have caused serious damage, that should have been penalised, and for which Shazier personally apologised to Bernard afterwards. Notice by the way on the film of the game when Bernard is on the ground Munchak is also on the pitch trash talking to Kevin Huber. I totally accept the Bengals lost control over their emotions at a critical point of the game, for which they must accept responsibility, and learn a lesson. The Steelers played Burfict and Jones. Burfict's mistake was that he had the opportunity to avoid the hit and didn't take it. Otherwise he was in a great position to do his job, which was to make sure Brown didn't catch the ball and win the game. Committed to the hit Burfict clearly leads with his shoulder and Brown leans into him to make sure of it and then does some impressive ballet moves before collapsing on the ground faking a bad injury and as he is walking on the field he winks at the Bengals players. Job done. Porter then seizes his opportunity to try and wind up the Bengals players further. Worth a try, after all they are hot heads that have proven they can let their emotions get the better of them. So he trash talks in the middle of the Bengals players and gets his flag. Steelers win the game. Steelers have been cheap shots artists and thugs for years. So when Lewis takes over, his long strategy to compete with them for the AFC North is to beat them up in the trenches and draft really aggressive LB and S. This has been a very successful strategy. Bengals should have won the AFC North for the last 3 years. Steelers can't really handle this, they are used to dominating the AFC North. So they have to compete any way they can, by stigmatising very talented players as aggressive to the press, over reacting to hits by those players and if needs be breaking the rules by faking injuries and letting assistant coaches run on the field. It's a lesson for the Browns too. Hopefully the Browns can build up a really competitive team and we can have a situation where it is the Bengals and Browns competing for the division, as I have absolutely no respect for the Steelers and the Ravens. Both really classless franchises that I take a lot of pleasure out of seeing beaten up, but with legal hits and I'd take even greater pleasure seeing this done by players who maintain their poise and control.

He will get fined for it as a result and it should have been flagged which could have easily resulted in a Steelers loss. There's no grey area there, it's an objective fact. I really don't have a strong hatred of the Steelers as much as others but I'm sick and tired of refs screwing this stuff up. I'm just as mad as I was when say Seattle was gifted a win against Detroit with a batted ball. Bottom line-there's dozens of plays that are close calls and perhaps missed, and then there are egregious missed calls like this. The NFL wouldn't be fining Porter if it weren't the case.

Tour2ma Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Exactly... 1. And since you're so butthurt about one Steeler coach being on the field... 2. Furthermore, can we put to rest Shaziers hit? 1. Assuming those are all Bengal coaches you have circled (which is highly doubtful), let me ask you the following: How many Steeler players might any of your circles also encompass? As stated in the prior post, it's Porter's interactions with the Bengals players that are his offense, not his mere presence on the field of play. 2. Short answer... no... and here's why... Your end-all, referred article states: Second, the ban against use of the crown of the helmet doesnt apply in a bang-bang situation. It requires the person delivering the blow with the crown of the helmet to line up the target. While close, thats not what happened between Bernard and Shazier. This statement is wrong on two counts: it misstates the rule and misinterprets the action on the field. Here is the rule in it's entirety: ARTICLE 8. INITIATING CONTACT WITH THE CROWN OF THE HELMET. It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle to tackle and from three yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive teams end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or tackler against an opponent shall not be a foul.Please show me where any allowance is made for a "bang-bang play." Second, the article says Shazier did not "line-up the target". The claim is absurd. Here is a screenshot of Shazier breaking at the release of the pass and beginning his run at Bernard a full six-yards away. Running the video forward shows Shazier dips his head while he is still one to two-yards from impact and further dips just prior to impact. I've included several angles in case you are extra resistant to the truth... All photos are taken from this video clip: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap3000000620170/Ryan-Shazier-takes-down-Gio-Bernard-causes-fumble How's your butt feel now? Only if you accept it was a deliberate hit with the top of the helmet that could have caused serious damage...

And you are stupid as fuck if you think the Browns had anything to do with the concussion protocol. They have a movie out right now about the subject. And it was the consequences to Steeler players like Courson and Webster that helped that cause. And there was the death of Junior Seau. And the Billion dollar lawsuit.

They lost leaving the browns out and fans butthurt. Yeah the Steelers backed in, but its not like they were 9-7 or 8-8. A 10-6 record is deserving of a play-off spot just like it was for the 2007 browns. Anything less and I would be the first to admit the Steelers didn't belong there.

LMB Only a Steelers fan would think Harrison isn't a thug who richly deserved to get fined for deliberately targeting opposing players. Tooo bad he's getting close to Social Security age, and is slowing down. Harrison didn't start the tactic, but he was the last practitioner of it. FWIW, I consider Burfect a thug too. In case you think I'm only picking on poor nice polite Steelers- I have a long memory. "Willie Lanier was known as Contact, a name coined by Chiefs' teammate Jerry Mays in 1967. As Lanier remembered: "Since I unfortunately followed the style of tackling that we were taught at that time - that was to use your head first of hitting players in the middle of their body. It was done in a rather aggressive manner". Sorry, this isn't the 60s anymore where you could pretty much do anything you wanted, short of killing someone- and Jack Tatum came close when he paralyzed Darryl Stingley. Chop blocks, crack backs, head slaps- remember those? If still legal today you'd have 1\2 your roster on IR after 6-8 games. Heard Howie Long today- and his opinion is something had to be done-payers today are just too big and fast. Oh, and he mentioned Bradshaw's o-line averaged 250 pounds- today that's more like 310. Um you've 1\2 owned the division, since the suck edition of the Browns returned in 1999, the Ravens have won as many Super Bowls as the Steelers. So if you only want to claim 40 recent years of greatness, let me remind you before 1970, the Steelers sucked even worse than the current editions of the Browns.

The dudes probably old enough to have watched the Steelers play in 8 Super Bowls and you expect him to "remember" the 1950's...what the fuck for? Because you want him to be miserable like you? Ain't ever happening. That's loser talk. The Steelers have owned this division...whether it be the AFC Central or AFC North... since the formation of the new league in 1970....the era you are living in. That's all you need to know.
