So they aren't across the 50 on the Steelers side?

C'mon...you love the tough guy Burfict!  At least admit when he's being a "tough guy".

Oh, and it's also interesting that the Bengals players defended him saying he was....wait for it....baited into doing it becuase of the williams tweet a couple weeks before.    AND blamed the commissioner...because there is NO reason to blame the knucklehead who actually did it.

Actually.....this all did lead up to the pitiful display Saturday night.  That back and forth between both teams should have been nipped in the bud from the get go.  At the very least, it's terroristic threatening.  Then we had the bullshit in Cincy a few weeks ago, again, BOTH teams involved in the shenanigans.  The league does nothing.

They give out warnings prior to the game.  They lost control of it early.  The message should have been sent.  Munchak should have been ejected.  Peko, ejected.  Shazier flagged, Burfict flagged for excessive celebration.....more than likely, if the officials set the tone earlier, none of the bullshit that went down at the end of the game happens, including Porter's nonsense and Burfict's hit.  That's just the simple truth.  The league got what they wanted.....ratings, but it has gone way too far.
