Honestly, I say anybody who says they could have stood up the the madness the Steelers launched at the Bengals from start to finish and not lose their cool is quite full of shit.
That was so far beyond the norm, so over the top insanely dirty. It was their game plan. Every tackle involved a head shot or knee shot or borderline late hit. There was calculated viciousness in everything they did. They were out there to maim and incite. And toward Burfict, it was beyond relentless.
NOBODY can stand up to that. And anyone who says they could is a liar. This is not to excuse what certain guys did. This is just to say it was not unmotivated. The Steelers talk about Burfict being calculated in everything he does. Well, what they did was so far beyond calculated. It was appalling. It was ***** shameful. They are like ***** Russians over there.
And the result? Steelers are rewarded by moving on and the Bengals are vilified. What happened Saturday night has been years, if not decades, in the making.
Agreed.....it's also quite insane that they actually involved the coaches! Hell, on the video after Gio's hit, you can see trainers badmouthing Huber FFS!
