Horrible, I hope he is not paralyzed for life. We have all seen so much worse looking hits.

I literally did just that. I dont know what he said after but, hoping someone here could do a better job.

It was the Steelers trainer speaking with Tomlin on the sideline

All of a sudden, shitty corners and mediocre quarterbacks don't seem to matter.

That was a money throw by Dalton.

My error - thanks.

No prob, my dude. Looking back I wasn't very clear about that.

Correct. If you lead with the top or crown of your helmet you can break vertebrae in your back/neck through compression. You need to see what you hit and this avoids this type of injury. Sad.

you and Robin Williams would make a great comedy tandem - you should team up with him!

I'm a c-5 quad. Paralysis is a b*tch

damn you for making me sad, ughh - I love you tho.

Terrible, man.

Saying he went to a Level I Trauma Center isn't that impactful of a statement. It's Cincinnati. Any decent-sized hospital there will be a Level I Trauma Center. There are four Level I Trauma Centers in KC, MO alone.

Seems like it was the closest hospital anyway. Regardless, hope he can make a full recovery.

Christ - I'd have thought KC wouldn't be in front of Independence in technology. I'm glad they've done more than recarpeted the K and put a new riding pony inside of the Funhouse Pizza.

Burfict just got lit up by Smith-Shuster. Dirty block, plus the taunting.

Steelers/Bengals never disappoint.

Yep being carted off now

Sportsmanship, pass it on. LMAO

LMAO, just can't help themselves, can they.

I'm not normally one to cheer for injuries, but there isn't a player in the NFL more deserving of a cheap shot like that than that POS Burfict.

With the shit Burfict was saying about Brown faking the concussion Burfict gave him it was only a matter of time until someone rocked him.

jacked up by a guy not even one year intoi being able to legally drink.

Brutal game. Seeing the Steelers come back is no bueno.

Goddamn do I hate the Steelers.

LMAO Burfict jumped off the cart and is ****ing pissed.

Good parking though right... I joke. I have have family with the same. I joke, I joke.

:shake:

Depressing watching an actual good team play. **** the Steelers

My cousin hates sympathy and would rather have a good rib then drink a beer with me. I wasn’t being a dick.

I mean how the **** does he do that?

You're a ****ing idiot. I have family that are idiots too, I joke I joke.

Holy shit. How did he hold on??

https://streamable.com/34rrv

Steelers won it. Andy Dalton is a sack of shit.

See above. I am not a dick.

Why the **** they punted it back to the Steelers was beyond stupid. They weren’t stopping shit.

I am disabled also. I have had 7 lungs collapse and had my torso completely mutilated from surgery’s. I guess I should have also mentioned that. Me and my cousin trade bards.

See what championship QBs do?

Two clutch drives in a row to win the game.

Suck it, Smith-lovers.

Yep. Real QBs and have coaches who aren’t running gimmick bullshit.

You’re a butt****ing moron

I'm in good company!

At least I won the pool. Plus the guy who would have won had the Bungles held on is a complete ****ing douche.

when I was working in a level 1 trauma center, I was told the major difference between a level 2 and 1 was a neurosurgeon on duty, not on call.

Sorry to see Shazier get hurt. Hope he's ok.

Odd game. Felt like I was watching the Chiefs: I just knew the Bengals were going to find a way to lose. And they did. Damn, 13 penalties for 173 yards. And they only lost by 3. There's some Chiefs' DNA in that.

Looks like it's just a spinal concussion. Good news.

Spinal contusion?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...inal-contusion

Fake news :cuss: Didn't know the Gershwins had medical degrees. :)

Not sure I've heard of a spinal concussion before. Thank you, appreciate the edification.

Spinal cord concussion is a transient disturbance of spinal cord function, with or without vertebral damage and no demonstrable pathologic changes, that results from a rapid change in velocity following trauma, and resolves within 48 hours.

Spinal chord? That's music to everyone's ears, I guess.

Good news

173 penalty yards. Shocking a Squeeler opponent gets eviscerated like that. What a joke

It's great that things are looking good for him. I hope he learns to see what he hits.

Yep. Compared to the other side which was only 66 yards. And guess what? The Steelers rallied to win the game. :rolleyes:

Check out the types of penalties called against each team - another "shocker."


Anyway, glad Shazier is doing better...

This dipshit needs Romper every thread is a derail with Smith.

I turned off when I saw a reeruned holding call on the Bengals RB on a play/deep pass to Green(i think) that would've been a TD. one of the most ticky tack holding calls I've seen in a while. at least, when compared to other calls that AREN"T called.


NFL is a GD Joke.

I tell that to my wife and in laws anytime we go out as in its the only reason shes with me

So glad that this may not be as serious as it appeared.

It’s the Steelers. When do they not get calls?

It sounds like the kid might be okay after all

NFL officiating has been a sham for a long time. Refs routinely alter the outcome of games with timely calls, or non-calls. Game is getting out of hand? They step in and help the losing team make it more of a game. Certain teams have been among the NFL anointed ones for decades and will get calls to help them win games.

I was watching about 9:30c-When the announcers complain that a penalty should have not been called-it is bad. Waiting for the announcers to be reprimanded.

**** that dude should retire.

When it was 17-0, I knew the flags were coming. Started with another bogus call in Brown's favor (dude pushes off on nearly every play and still gets a flag on EVERY deep ball) to set up a FG.

When there's no accountability in a profession, that's what you get. And there appears to be no accountability, or recourse, against NFL officials. Not only for bad calls, but for unbalanced calls.

You can blame the owners on one side of the coin, and perhaps even the NFLPA on the other. I think the NFLPA needs to bring "officiating" into the next CBA discussions.

The NFL wants Pittsburgh in the playoffs I knew somehow the refs would get them back in the game. Pittsburgh is as dirty as the Raiders ever hoped to be. Cincy is not much better. Actually the entire AFC North is pretty dirty.

The injury to Pittsburgh's linebacker was self inflicted, he led with his head. Let's hope he won't be paralyzed.

This. Same kind of officiating that we had with Oakland, the Steelers and both NY teams.

Bengals weren't supposed to win last night but they covered.

I don't believe in this fairy tail anymore, even though I want to.

Hochuli shooting the deer antler spray into Shazier's IV personally to get the Steelers to the SB.

Seriously though, I hope he makes a full recovery.

Goddamn thats scary shit.

Yep. All reports are that he is improving and that's good. Next time, I hope he learns to actually LOOK at what he's tackling...

**** that. I would be retired

I wouldn't want to miss out on a white bitch choking on the dark meat

What
The
****

Here's an interesting chart from 2015 about penalties by team. Sort by "Beneficiary Yards" and see who comes out with the most:

http://www.nflpenalties.com/?year=2015

You have to think... no matter how hard they try or what ever they say, officials have some form of bias. They are probably fans of some team, even though they can't let it be known.

The Steelers are an easy team for casual fans to like, and they attract as many bandwagon fans as any franchise in the league purely because of their 6 SBs.

Agreed.. I have a 2nd cousin (40ish) out in Montana that has never been to Pennsylvania but is a diehard Steeler fan.
wtf?

I know several Pats fans like that.

im a Chiefs fan and i never been to the mid west. well i been to colorado once. I ended up liking the Chiefs because of a player (Derrick Thomas) Just followed them after that.

That is cool, good on you. Whatever you want to call gochiefs these days, he became a fan because of Montana.

I would wager he hasn’t learned from this trauma. A leopard can’t change its spots no more than he can change his character. At halftime they showed rule changes because of the Steelers and bengals rivalry and one of the examples was Shazier leading with the crown of his helmet.

It always amazes me that people who aren't from Kansas City subject themselves to this ****ing abuse.

Guilty.
