Ugh...even on a Monday, I'm still a little pissed. I think we were all feeling that huge monkey coming off our backs with that INT from Burfict. Once it happened, I thought to myself we are so close to getting this damn playoff win. But also, knew it wasn't in the bag until the game was over. UGH.
I want to point out that after the hit on Bernard and no flag thrown what so ever, I was ready to turn the tv off. But I didn't because I knew this isn't just the same team that rolls over. They're fighters. They've been scratching and clawing all season. And they did just that again in the 4th quarter. Maybe it was the hit on Bernard that finally woke them up. It was disgusting to watch. Because the 1st thing that came to mind is Rivers and Huber with their broken jaws from Steeler players. That hit was very similar to the way they got hit, crown right at the jaw.
I was really disappointed in the offense. There was no gimmick or gadget plays for most of the game. Bernard running up the gut has been a head scratcher all season. Was Hue already working on his HC job interviews while trying to come up with a game plan? I really wish the NFL would start a coach offseason when the Superbowl is finished and not during the playoffs.
Anyways, I wanted to vent about Burfict. He's been labeled as a villain and everyone has their pitch forks ready. The media is making us the bad guys while the Steelers are coming out looking like saints. This guy just had the ultimate high and the ultimate low in 1:30 game time. He was going to be our hero with that INT. All we had to do was hold onto the ball. But after the INT and the 1st play was fumbled, he's back to playing Defense instead of watching our Offense put the game away. Hill should've known by now that everyone is going to knock that ball loose. Why try to fight for an extra yard when you gain 5 on the run alone? If the fumble never happened and we won, the media would shine the light on Burfict and realize that he is the next great MLB. But instead we have the media trying to get him suspended forever on a hit that we see every week during the season. Even though that hit cost the team big time, I'm still giving him a pass and hope he's able to play next season. When he is on the field, we are better. He just needs to play smarter. I don't want to lose him because it will feel like losing Odell Thurman all over again. We were set at MLB until he got suspended and never returned to form. He was a BEAST. Burfict is a BEAST but both seem to be missing a gear or two in the head.
When he sacked Ben, I was so ***** pumped up because of the Gio hit. Straight out legal hit but the media is already turning this into another dirty blow. Get real.
Jones is another that would've became a hero too. His punt return that set up our game winning drive. Instead, he's a thug because Joey Porter was on the field talking shit to our players and Jones wasn't having any of it. How the hell is he even on the field. Tomlin isn't even on the field but he can be? He's a LB Coach and his defense is on the sidelines. I just don't get why he was on the field. Unfortunately this season became wasted.
I really had faith in this team that if they could get this stupid win, get the monkey off their back, Dalton was going to come in and light shit up. Now it's back to reality and chase the dream next season. Hoping the Front Office doesn't get stupid and blow up the team.
