The Bengals

Not sure there`s really ANYTHING else to say after last nite, but feel free.

When they talk about the player being good but not having any character....
I now know what they mean. Big stupid man children just cost the owner of that team $$$$. The teams and league should purge these reprobates.

What would they doing without football? They went to college, right? Lol lol.

A tragedy of errors. I watched Burfict do that repeatedly at ASU. No surprise he went from a projected first-round pick to undrafted altogether. He once cost the Sun Devils a game with a late hit that drew a flag for 15 then got tagged another 15 for bitching to the ref about it--Stanford got the winning score moments later. Dennis Erickson benched him because of his lack of control on the field--the same Dennis Erickson who made his bones at University of Miami coaching that group of fine gentlemen!!!

EDITED: actually, Burfict's Stanford penalty was a facemask, not late hit. There were so many personal fouls that I get them mixed up--- he had 16 in his last 26 games at ASU.

That was the wildest last 2 minutes of a game I've seen in a while. It was the first time I can recall actually being embarrassed for players. Interceptions and fumbles happen, but behavior like that is hard to watch in kids, let alone adults.

The last 2 minutes really were ones for the ages for various reasons. The Hill fumble was brutal as was the late hit on A Brown. A little surprised how little attention, from fans and media alike, is being given to why in the hell was J Porter on the field basically in the middle of a scrum of Cinn players. True P Jones should have kept his cool but it sure looked like Porter instigated that 2`nd 15 yard penalty.

You know what you get when you sign Pacman Jones, lot of history there.

Bengals largely lost the game with some classless acts by some shady characters. Wasn't real impressed with Steelers class either...coaches instigating and even pushing opposing players, not to mention the mocking and celebrating after knocking about Bernard.

My interest in football has been falling the last few years; concussions, suicides, dancing after every play...it's become a game without dignity. The players...primarily a bunch of gang bangers.

+1.

I despise the lack of sportsmanship that now exists in the NFL. That is why I rarely watch a game. NFL Football used to be my favorite sport.

Too many players care more about themselves than their teammates.

It drives me insane.

Is it baseball season yet?

The size, particularly of the linemen, is out of control. It's hard for me to believe these guys aren't doing drugs and or hormones.
