Non-Bengals and non-Steelers fans I know were shocked at how crazy this game was...How dirty the Steelers were and how different two teams are treated by the officials...I told them, this was par for the course.
When Burfict sacked Big Ben, I said, "That makes us square with Kimo von Oelhoffen destroying Carson Palmer's knee."
Bengals have two missions every year:
1) Bengals win the Super Bowl.....Fail.
2) Steelers don't win the Super Bowl (without Bell and with Big Ben's likely separated shoulder)....mission accomplished.
I can sleep well....
Um.. I agree with a lot of what you said except the Bold. Nationally, the opposite happened owing to a variety of factors: The Bengals looked like the dirty team to the national market. Some of it was ref bias. Some was media bias. Some was the ending of the game.
And you need to remember most people DON'T know about all the history, and only saw THIS GAME. If you only saw THIS GAME you'd see, in my opinion TWO undisciplined teams. So I don't agree with the bolded part at all.
However, in regards to the topic: **** the Steelers.
