Once again. Even though he never cared about public or national opinion. You look at how Kraft came out and defended his players even though there was some truth to deflate and spygate. He spoke his mind and defended his franchise. This has become a national controversy and our owner is ignoring it and letting the narrative set in. He should be outraged just as many of us are.
We may have issues with player emotions, but no way should MB let his franchise get attacked when the league obviously holds players more accountable than Coaches. If the league doesn't expect coaches to keep their cool, then how can they blame players like Burfict and Jones?
MB should have had a press conference demanding accountability from Goodell of coaches for the integrity of the game. As repeat offenders if those were Pat coaches could you imagine the outcry. He should have called the league out for ignoring the integrity of the game. No matter what you say, Coaches should be held to higher standards than players. No excuse for the league to turn a blind eye to Steeler coaches and organization.
Should have led by calling press conference to get out ahead of the controversy before he lost control of the narrative (what family member is in charger of pr/crisis management). At the very least released a statement to call for a full and unbiased review of everything that went down in that game from officiating to coaches to player actions.
I bet you the Rooneys were quick to get in contact with the league to defend their coaches/players. The Burfict suspension was as quick as any suspension I've ever seen come down. Why? Cause we have no one speaking up for us and MB is out of touch with what really went down Saturday (a setback for this organization after how far they've come). Goodell was nudged into that quick decision to suspend Burfict. Probably by the Rooneys who would never have been fine with our coaches actions in a big national game like that.
Weak leadership at the top got us where we are today. And may keep the Bengals from ever reaching their potential.
