James Harrison said that he didn't think the hit on Brown should have been a penalty - though he admitted by rule it is. The point being that it was not a dirty hit. It was a hard football hit made at top speed.
I still think he plays dirty. You don't see DeCastro pile driving other linebackers into the ground. You know he's talking and I believe he was probably spitting.
I hope he takes the extras away from his behavior on the field. But as for his play I thought it was just great football, from the Bell tackle to the Rothlesberger tackles to the Brown hit.
And as far as team play. I thought we played a clean game. Adam Jones lost his temper, but the dogs on the field were the Pittsburgh coaches.
This is an example of how the media can convince someone what they are seeing is different than what is happening. Our culture loves to be told how to think and most people don't have the critical thinking skills to properly evaluate the situation. They have coaches verbally and physically getting into altercations with our team. They have almost 200 yards in pentalities in the game and all people talk about is a bang/bang play where the defender didn't lead with the helmet. I don't see the media showing replays of the Bernard hit, but it was way worse and ultimately hurt our team worse than a 15 yard penalty. We lost one of our star players before the game was over and somehow we are scumbags ?
I want more players like Burfict and Jones on the team then maybe we wouldn't have to worry about a winning the game in the last minute.
