These teams go out to injure each other for season. No matter who wins, they both lose as too banged up after these games to play next weeks. No, I don't want touch football, but I do want healthy players going into Kansas City next week. This game got stupid and out of hand with players sending death threats off field. The 2015 play-off game was a disgrace by players and fans in stands. I hope the Refs ARE calling and throwing flags on cheap shots. Fans may not like it, but we need Refs to clean up Bengals / Steelers games because the players don't have enough sense to. If left up to the players, both teams would end up so injured that their seasons would be done. Steelers vs Bengals had turned into an ugly injury war over the years and a disgrace to football. The players aren't smart enough to clean up this game, so I hope the Refs do.
The Steelers had the refs in their pocket and would try to kill our guys. That is why the Bengals had to turn this into an ugly war to draw attention to the dirty refs and just to survive out there. The NFL then made the Burfict rule to try to control him so the Steelers could continue to win this match up. In the end it was Shazier hurting himself tackling our guy that finally drew the NFL attention and got the dirty refs kicked out of the league by being fired or being forced to retire. I hope they clean this game up and keep it in control because our guys should not be forced to fight for their lives in a football GAME.
