What I was referring to is the 'button pushing' (***** slapping) that the Steelers use as a tactic and the Bengals are sucked in by responding with after whistle fouls. The Bengals are no longer intimidated by them, but still respond to the Steeler 'taunting'.
Again, the 3 games they've won, only one has been at home.
Gotcha. I've never heard button pressing referred to as a ***** slap, so it threw me off.
I agree 100%. The Bengals are well past being intimidated by them, but they fall for the mind games and they aren't able to remain disciplined while playing physical/chippy. The Steelers have that down to a science.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
