In the moment- at least online- there was nobody more vocal in their criticism of Ossai than the typical Bengals fan. They/we were really letting him have it. I'm sure if you checked the game thread here you'd see some extreme takes. For that matter it was reflected by the team themselves as we saw with Pratt (who to this credit at least apologized). Presumably many of those critics are now celebrating the team's culture as shown by leaders like Hill and Hendrickson standing by Ossai post-game. And then you have idiots like me who are forcing us all to look in the mirror lol. Life is one wild trip down Hypocrisy Blvd
I was much more aggravated at Pratt’s sorry attempt at Pacheco than Ossai’s mistake. But you’re right, most fans were all over Ossai. I did say to my dad who I watched it with, “well I’ve seen worse not called, but that’ll likely do it.”
