NFL rules state hitting with the crown of helmet is a 15 yard penalty. ESPN had an old ref say should have been 15 yards on Shazier. Head to head is fine but not with crown of helmet.

Not sure about that with a RB or a QB/WR turned into one.....moot point of course.

Who is that guy in Cinci that Bretsky used to love? He reminds me of him. Just out of control. Good player, but not coachable and can't have him on your team. Not worth the trouble.

From PFT:

Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones left the locker room without talking to reporters after the Bengals lost to the Steelers Saturday night.

He took to Instagram and posted a video of himself talking. Screaming, actually.

“The f—–g ref did a horrible f—–g job,” Jones said.

He then mentioned Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter being on the field when Jones was flagged for a personal foul on the last drive. Those 15 yards set up the winning field goal by Steelers kicker Chris Boswell.

The video of Jones will probably be taken down soon. But the Bengals lost in hard to explain fashion, and Jones isn’t the only one letting the F-bombs fly.

Steelers D is nasty fast. Shazier would look so good in G&G

Adam Jones pushed through a ref to yell at coach and/or Steeler. It's the non-incidental contact with the ref I think that got the penalty.

Yup, one of the guys I liked but was also glad that 1 of the top S dropped to us.

The only thing that I saw in the Pacman penalty was the Pitt trainer pushed Burfict. Then Pacman was jawing and a Pitt OL came over. Then the flags flew.

Looked like pacman reached across the ref to shove Joey Porter and made some contact with the official. Pretty tricky tack but the Bengals had been out of control for a while there. And the refs were probably sick of it.

I think you have to let Lewis go after this. And Burfict. And Jones. Probably should have promoted Zimmer. oops

I am guessing the coach/trainer that pushed Burfict.

It was Joey Porter in the middle of it. Why he was on the field is the subject of much speculation.

Steelers were in the Bengals heads. Bengals had the game wrapped up but lost their cool.

Jeremy Hill had 8 fumbles in 2 years coming into tonight.

This game is going to end with Sully Sullenberger Jr. making an emergency landing on the field and Goodell declaring a tie.

I seriously admire Simms' ability to contradict himself three times in one sentence.

Brown has got to have the mother of all concussions after that hit. He was out and his had the stiff arm when he landed.

Lewis the reformer cost them the game.

Lewis the reformer cost them the game.

Burfict is currently nuts. Adam Jones has been pretty clutch for several years without incidents. Bad time to be mad at Joey Porter.
