We get it, we don't have the checkbook (what is this, 1997??), we were overruled, we don't make the decisions, we aren't the front office, blah blah blah. Yeah man, we know. We've known it even before you came on here to remind us 500 times. Everybody is 100% well aware of the fact that we don't actually make the decisions, but we all play armchair GM/owner. Yeesh.
I was making a bit of a joke or being hyperbolic and all that. My main issue with this is that people are getting a little too worked up about it. I don't think it was a dastardly terrible thing to do, but people acting like hitting people after the whistle is what awesome teams do and it's going to make us into some magical juggernaut that walks into Heinz Field, slams Pig Ben into the ground, rips off his helmet and then shoves it up his rectum is a bit flawed.
Or maybe we will do it. I just think people are really overestimating the link between beating up on a rookie WR and actually forcing our game-related will upon opponents. I'd rather dominate a team via Hill running all over them to kill the clock when everyone knows we are going to do it and is powerless to stop us than see someone slam someone (who isn't Harrison or Pig Ben) into the ground after the whistle.
