Steelers Board

[CJD]

At the end of the Bagels thread there was a legitimately rational Steelers fan talking about whether the injuries of the different players throughout the rivalry were legal/illegal and dirty/clean.

Actually, some of the most intellectual reasoning I've seen from a Steelers fan in a very very long time.

And, shocker, he happens to live in Cincinnati.

I guess the Pittsburgh has washed off over time and he now can think like an adult human being.

Quote:I live in Cincinnati and on the way home from work they were saying the same thing about the Steelers.

Said the Ken Anderson facemask back in 1983 by Gary was cheap. Brutal and I agree it was cheap but at the time plays like that were going on all the time but not to that extent of turning the guys helmet around on his head.

Said the Kimo Von Olhauffen hit on Palmer was cheap. They will always cry about it but I say he was pushed down into his knee and his momentum on the hit shredded his knee. Was unfortunate but not cheap. I have argued this one til I've been blue in the teeth and still argue it every year.

Said Hines Ward hit on Kieth Rivers was dirty. Broken jaw, missing teeth. I was at that game and seen it live. Clean block all the way at the time but then made the Hines Ward rule about hitting a defenseless player. Can't believe they're still crying about that one although it did essentially end his career. Could not play the game the same after that.

Said the Kieth Huber blind side hit from Garvin was dirty. Broken neck, broken jaw.

Said the Hit on LeVeon Bell by Burfict this season was clean. I agree. Very unfortunate but clean. It sucks but it happens. I don't know if Burfict celebrated or not like some Steelers pllayers claim or if he heard a pop and got the heck out of there. Nobody knows for sure but Burfect himself.

I can say though that if the Steelers concentrate on paying him back then we will be in for a long ugly loss. Steelers just need to go out there and play Steeler smash mouth football and let the chips fall where they may.
