Jeremy Hill's attitude

In all fairness you cite Palmer leaving as one of the reasons we got better after 2010 and he's still playing some very good football despite being 47 or so years old.  I tells ya changes were overdue, but that 2010 schedule could flatten a lot of teams and make 'em look lousy.

Meh, you want to discuss showboating...in that 2015 playoff game Burfict and company ran into the tunnel after the interception whooping it up and holding up the "#1" sign only to eventually lose the game.  I don't think celebrating lost us that game, but Steeler fans sure like rubbing that in.  What should have been a glorious moment turns out to be a humiliating reminder that pride goeth before the fall.

Did Burfict running into the tunnel make Hill fumble and the defense collapse?  No, but if celebrations are still anathema around here we need to call those guys out like we are Chad, don't we? Has our culture changed enough? People are still criticizing us for being showboaters with no discipline who can't win a real game.

EDIT: I now see that you addressed this so I guess we are on the same page. Interestingly I recall thinking it would be just our luck if Burfict hadn't actually been downed after the INT and he voluntarily ran the wrong way for a safety. Not so, but he did manage to find another way to blow it at the end. So again, great player but undisciplined. Another decade of just throwing my hands and saying "Yep, that wasn't wise...sorry, we can't all be Steeler and Packers fans."

Then again, Aaron Rodgers started doing that "championship belt" thing during a 6-10 season and not only is he NOT a cancerous bastard, but he gets to be the next "Flo the insurance spokesperson" because of it. Meh, no fair. Ugh and Antonio Brown...he does the dumbest most exaggerated "look at me and I don't care if the defense loses 15 yards because I'm on offense) celebrations and the clip is on every sports show and the same people who think Chad was a giant embarrassment are just praising the hell out of him.

It all just seems so arbitrary on what is OK and what isn't OK. It's not winning, because Cam Newton was lambasted last year for showboating when he was legitimately the best player in the NFL at the time and undefeated for most of the season. Is it race? Well, Antonio Brown seems to get a pass. So maybe you just have to be on the Steelers or the Packers for people to find your braggadocious bs endearing?
