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.
If they were "so dirty" then they would have never been legal. Since they were legal then they can't be dirty.
You need understand that these rules were not put into place because they were dirty, the NFL decided to make illegal those types of hits in an increasing effort to protect players from head injuries.
