You can turn a blind eye because your a fan. There's a reason the Bengals were disgruntled.Hello. First of all I don't "live and die for the Steelers". I grew up 25 miles south of Pittsburgh and have been a fan since the 70's. Having said that, What the Steelers do or don't do is not putting any money in my pocket. I come on here to screw around with you guys and have fun. I don't take this crap too seriously.
This thread was not intended to be a smack fest. I was curious as to what fans thought. I dont wish injury on any players. Yet, if a team draws first blood, I want a stern response. Is that ridiculous?
For many Steeler fans, they seem to take a lot of pride in the (blind side) JuJu hit on Burfict. Do you? Unfortunately, there might very well be some blowback from that hit alone when he comes back. Will I be disappointed? Yes (it will cause an eviction and another suspension). Will I kinda love it on the inside? Can't lie. Yes I will. But I will hope JuJu is ok. I might celebrate. Who knows?
The NFL's love for the Steelers is not a secret throughout the league. It's a real thing and I think many SF's have grown used to it. The only flags they throw on you guys are so obvious and blatant that they have to because even Ray Charles could see it.
As far as the NFL favoring the Steelers, you guys have been claiming that for years around here. Is there any proof of this? If there is how is the NFL getting away with it? Some conspiracy theory. What about Dallas and New England along with the Steelers are the most popular teams. Do the NFL favor them? Maybe your right I don't know. I wish the Bengals were in the NFC because I do like them and would root for them.
If the Bengals got to the Super Bowl I would be rooting for them.
