It's much easier to blame officials than it is to own that the Steelers simply have our number.
Hope that changes Sunday.
I don't like to speak for other people without their permission, but I think, for most of us, the issue isn't that there's widespread cheating, but rather that officials are heavily biased towards certain teams and/or players. It's why a guy like Burfict has to be careful on EVERY play whereas Mitchell can go trying to intentionally hurt people and as long as it's not a QB will not have to worry about repercussions. It's why a team like the Steelers can get away with holding by their offensive line.
There are a multitude of examples that a reasonable person would have no choice but to say, it certainly LOOKS like biased calls.
