18 Seconds with no timeouts.  Maybe they hit a quick pass near the sidelines, or maybe they can get up to the line of scrimmage and spike it.  But it would have been dicey. 

The Bengal players were simply a reflection of the Brown's and the entire Bengal management in crunch time. Since they were, we'll never know what a couple quick outs might have netted the Steelers.

god that gets uglier every time i watch it.

It was just as ugly the first time too.

But some 'old school' football players on this forum seem to think concussions are just character building and intentional shots to the head are just all in good fun.

if it weren't for burfict's history i could see this being accidental. for instance if it was luke keuchly it would've been a freak accident perhaps actually inspired by god for something bad antonio did that he deserved to pay for

I was about to say the same thing.  The announcers all but came out and said he was the cause of couple of Steeler injuries earlier in the game.

I'm very old school, and I think that hit was dirty and Vontaze Burfict is an idiot.

He was undrafted. 

Pac Man Jones was traded for...Burfict had major red flags and a worse 40 time. Point is...the roster has cornerstones that are unstable and trash. 

It would be like building the team around Greg Hardy.

They have drafted-coddled and seek problem children on the regular.

Yea, the sad part is even at full speed you can see he has plenty of time to make the rational choice not to take the extra 2 steps and hit Brown (a penalty in all situations btw).

Instead stays on his route and lowers his shoulder for a blow to the head.  How is this hit being defended by anyone as legal?

no, but i wouldn't measure them as equally offensive. 

The concept is the same, though. A coach, who honestly had no right to be on the field (brown is a WR, Porter is the LB coach), got into the middle of a scrum in a rivalry game that he used to play in, grabbed a player. That's a dick move.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
