Bu - bu - bu - but that hit was as bad as the Burfict hit - just ask Peter King

Pittsburgh linebacker Ryan Shazier ramming Cincinnati running back Gio Bernard with the crown of his helmet, something that year after year, practice after practice, players have been trained and warned not to do.

Yeah buddy! Told my friends it was legal and they ignored me.

For sure, it pisses me off when the Bengals fans are crying about the refs showing favourites to the Steelers. We got penalized for almost twice as many yards and Shazier's TD was robbed from him. It was their own players' stupidity that contributed to that loss. But like Pac man Jones, they can't take responsibility for their own stupid asses

Dear Bengals,

Good. It wasn't an illegal hit. No point in fining him just because Cincy is butthurt.

He doesn't have James Harrison street cred. If #92 did that, its $20k fine for sure.

Just wanna see that Shazier in the zone on Sunday.

No fine apparently means legal hit. In all honesty I thought it was borderline and if it happened to one of ours I'd probably call it a bad hit. I'd much rather see a helmet on the ball to jar it lose. I think the reason there won't be a fine is because the hit did not show intent like Burfict's on AB clearly did.

It was a bang bang play though. Shazier was coming in to level that hit right as Bernard turned and hesitated. Sometimes helmet contact is purely incidental, I believe that to be the case here, so did Mike Carey, Mike Pereira, and the NFL office that reviews these kinds of plays apparently.

He was penalized enough when they took away his touchdown.
