Great job in tracking that down.

There was “The Ice Bowl”, “The Fumble”, and “The Drive.” Now, we have “The Drinking Game”.

Every time a Bengal does something outlandish: drink. Everyone gets plastered by halftime. LOLOL

Ok, so I found the play you were thinking of. It WAS a Foster penalty (illegal formation) that cost us a 17 yard gain, and tacked on 5 more lossed for the penalty. But the 15 yard penalty was the next play (called on Cincinnati), and yielded a total of 37 yards gained. We gained nothing on the next 3 downs, and kicked a 30 yard FG.

I couldn’t remember the game completely straight, either! Of course, I know I wasn’t completely straight. That was a definite drinking game, and probably the most exciting and emotional I can remember in the last 5 years!

No rings… no trophies… just participation medals. LOLOL

It may not have been that play. But, there was a play where a Steelers O-lineman got called for a personal foul, which negated a 17-yard gain… totaling a 32-yard change in field position. I rememebr it, because I felt that the first down (17-yard gain) should have stood and then brought backwards 15 yards. It was an odd play… in an odd game.

I watched the final 1:50 of the game. It was a classic!!!

Burfict is a podiatrist. That’s hilarious! You should tell her that it’s cool to date female Bengals fans because they aren’t expecting a ring in their future.
I don’t think you are correct about that play, though. First of all, because it came after the play, it does not affect the result of the play. The play stands on its own, and then the 15 yards is marched off independently. That play actually gained no yards, but the penalty did end up costing us a first down, and we had to settle for a 39 yard FG.
If you can get to a TV with NFL network, they’re reshowing the whole game right now, and a condensed version from 9-10pm.

On that particular play, Foster got flagged for the push. Burfict’s foot stomp was ignored, although BengalGirl5150 told me that Burfict is a podiatrist.

Adding salt into that 15-yard wound, the penalty came after a 17-yard gain.

Essentially, that ticky-tack foul cost the Steelers 32 yards… and basically turned a FG (possible TD) into a punt.

I’m surprised it took the league so long to finally suspend him. Did you also notice that Ramon Foster got a personal foul after Burfict intentionally stepped on his foot? VB is an embarrassment to the entire league. A little poetic justice that he cost his team the game. I pray Ben and Brown will be good to go Sunday. It would suck for VB to get any satisfaction from his assaults.
