bigboi Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Garvin should have been flagged for hit on Huber Posted by Mike Florio on December 16, 2013, 12:23 AM EST AP If Kevin Huber weren’t the Bengals punter, the helmet-to-chin hit applied to him by Steelers linebacker Terence Garvin may have been legal. Since Huber is a punter, it doesn’t matter. Punters and kickers at all times fall within the definition of defenseless players. This means that they can’t be struck by an opponent with a helmet or in the head or neck area. In this specific case, Garvin hit Huber with a helmet in the head, breaking Huber’s jaw. A flag should have been thrown. Don’t be shocked if the league admits the mistake during the week. Even if an express admission isn’t made, the fine that inevitably will be imposed on Garvin will do all the talking. The league doesn't care,because if they did ed Hochulis would have been fired years ago for all the other team he has screwed over.but yet and still this man is able to find work in the nfl.

Bengals1181 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 He said it in a real condescending same ol' Bengals tone which was really disapointing after he stuck up for Mike Brown in the article posted here yesterday. Mealy mouthed 2 faced ass bag. And his fumble in the 1st super bowl cost us dearly. honestly, he sounded like a frustrated Bengals fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Heck, not throwing the flag on what was a TD is a gamechanging play. The Steelers would have the ball near midfield instead of in the endzone. They also got the dropped punt snap play wrong too. Huber entered the endzone of his own will trying to avoid the defender. His forward progress gets moved back if its voluntary as opposed to being driven back by tacklers. They seemed to mark him at the most forward point he controlled the ball which isn't the rule. That's 12 points given to the Steelers, more than the margin in the final score. Maybe the Steelers would have scored anyway after the punt and free kick but who knows?

I'm sure a lot of fans were thinking the same thing at that moment. Maybe he said it twice, but I specifically remember he added it after Reggie Nelson got flagged for taunting, and Michaels questioned how a team down by 20 would get flagged for taunting. Collinsworth then chimed in with his smarmy "It's the Bengals." Collinsworth was already pissing me off ("If you just take away all the big plays against the Steelers, their defense has been great!"), but that shit was infuriating. He never misses a chance to cheap shot the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.O.C.H.O SHOW Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 how many penalties has Burfict induced this season because the other team retaliated? The second guy almost always gets caught. They didn't need to go out and cheap shot a steeler. They don't need to be like the steelers. All they needed to do was go out and play better and more physical in the trenches. They failed to do that. I'm not saying to go blind side a steeler. But have a few leaders on that field go out and defend their punter. I am not advocating violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol_Bengal Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 honestly, he sounded like a frustrated Bengals fan. As I said... I typically really like his insight on the Sunday night game. But, to me, when he does Bengals he almost goes out of his way to make sure he doesn't come off as biased or have a lean toward Cincy so it almost comes off anti-Bengal. As for last night's "old school Pittsburgh and old school Bengals"... Ummm... Cris... you were an old school Bengal. Are you saying you were Pittsburgh's bitch back in the day? Because that is what your comment implied. Any way you look at it though... we essentially gave up 14 (drive starting at the 1 and punt return TD) directly due to special teams and gave them a drive start at our 46 for a 3rd TD when Nugent had to punt from our own 10. Once they had to drive from beyond their 50 they had 3 fgs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a lot of fans were thinking the same thing at that moment. The "it's the Bengals" comment came after the Reggie Nelson taunting flag.

Because that is what your comment implied. Oh... and don't get me started on the TD throw to Antonio Brown where the flag for ineligible man downfield was picked up. There was a damn penalty. Go look at the replay and watch their left guard, #68, easily is 5 yards downfield and then runs back toward the line of scrimmage. Doesn't matter though - once you've gone beyond 3 yards you're "downfield". Can't believe they picked that up. I would think that should have been reviewable as it was a scoring play as well. Any way you look at it though... we essentially gave up 14 (drive starting at the 1 and punt return TD) directly due to special teams and gave them a drive start at our 46 for a 3rd TD when Nugent had to punt from our own 10. Once they had to drive from beyond their 50 they had 3 fgs... I do think CC, as well as a lot of announcers, tend to go too far out of their way not to sound biased.

Lions beat the Ravens tonight. We beat the Vikings to clinch the division, the Ravens beat NE, then we beat the Ravens to get the 2 seed and knock the Ravens out of the playoffs. All not only doable but likely. Ravens are tough at home and have only won 1 on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coup000 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Wonder if this is career threatening? If it is, this guy should get a huge fine and suspension. Chris Mortensen@mortreport2m Bengals punter Kevin Huber not only suffered broken jaw but also a cracked vertebrae in his neck on block by Steelers' Gavin. Headed to IR.
