No one cares about his hard, legal hits. Now the Bengal fans here have a mental and emotional breakdown every time a Steeler makes a hard hit even when it's legal. That's what separates bengal fan whining from say Panthers fans being mad at Burfict for getting fined for twisting ankles after the play.
The steeler hits were dirty too. No two ways about it. Just because they were considered legal at the time didnt make them not dirty. There were simply no rules in place that could address the hits at the time of the hits. They were in fact so dirty that rules had to be changed to cover them in the future. What steeler fans forget is that there is no "Burfict rule". The fact that the steelers players have two rules named after them for hits so dirty they are now deemed illegal should say all that is needed to say.
