The more time I've had to sit back and think about it, the more I realize that Burfict wasn't as "out of control" as the media painted him. Even his 1 dirty play wasn't really dirty. Meanwhile they brushed off Shazier's far more brutal hit on Gio, as well as the thuggish behavior of Steelers coaches, DeCastro targeting Burfict, etc.
Of course it was a narrative, the media knows the Steelers have the bigger fanbase and they were coloring them as the victims all night. I couldn't believe how much BS they were getting away with on the sidelines after the hit on Gio! Duck dancing and antagonizing the Bengals with no repercussions. No one was commenting on how out of control Shazier was or how they should not have given them the ball after that fumble. He was knocked unconscious for Christ Sake! Then there was hardly any comment on a coach Mike Munchak pulling Reggie Nelson's hair! That should be an ejection! WTF! The whole game was announced for the a**hat Steelers fan base. It was so biased and so obvious that fines just aren't enough to satisfy me. I'm still pissed about it!
