Once Shazier blasted Bernard, and they failed to flag it or calm things down, I knew the crowd was going to go berserk. You had a Steeler defender announce prior to the last game that he intended to hurt one of our players, then do so illegaly and blantantly late after a play. Then in this game is Shazier's flagrant hit with no foul called on it. NO fan base is going tolerate that, and in EVERY stadium there will be a restless feeling that it could become a mob. Especially when it is the same idiot who couldn't control it the prior time.
Remember that the Pittsburgh fan base sent a multitude of death threats and vandalized the home of an official who blew a call in a game that they won, so I'm pretty damn sure that the result would be identical had everything been flipped and in Pitt.
I don't doubt it would've been the same in other places. Doesn't make it right. This is a game. Maybe not living in an actual NFL market skews my view on this, nut I cannot fathom being so invested in a game that I would wish injury, or death, on anyone. That is ridiculous. It is ridiculous when any fan does it. I am ashamed of those Pittsburgh fans, and I am ashamed of those Bengals fans. Seeing someone wish for the execution of a coach, it is just a despicable thing.
