I have to admit feeling some guilty glee over the Steelers win last night. I lived in Cincinnati in the late 80's, was ridiculed and had things thrown at me for wearing Bills regalia, and have no love for their Hudepohl-chugging fans (Hudepohl is their local beer, which makes Genny taste like fine champagne). Obviously Cinci fans still have no class, as evidenced by them cheering when Ben R got hurt and throwing garbage at him as he was carted off the field.
I admit the refs blew the call on Pittsburgh for an earlier helmet on helmet hit. But the Burfict hit on Brown was a really dangerous blow to the head, well after the play ended, and totally uncalled for. Add another penalty for Bungle players losing their cool (plus the horrid turnover which led to the last drive), and it was game over.
To add to a prior post, I'd rather be a Bills vs a Bungles fan hands down. While some commentators like Merrill Hoge (he of the horrid suits and ties) are defending coach Marvin Lewis, saying the has no control over what happens between the white stripes on the field, I DO hold him responsible for his teams total lack of discipline and an NFL record 0-8 in their most recent playoff games.
You should also note the Bungles haven't won a playoff game since 1990 - far longer than the Bills. I'd rather see the Bills try hard and play right, then to TOTALLY BLOW a playoff game in such a pathetic and embarrassing manner. This loss will sting and Bungle fans will be kicking their dogs this morning and stewing on their bile for months to come.
