Thank you. And thank you to Dom.
Here's my order of preference:
1. Clean games vs. the Steelers. Not going to happen, because the Steelers are dirty and have problems against almost every team they play. The idiotic posting by "impartial" fans in this thread if I'm being charitable, is because they have no idea the history here.
2. Vontaze Burfict out there killing guys.
3. The Steelers being the Steelers and the Bengals just taking it, which is what has happened for the last 10 years.
We aren't going to get #1 folks. Those of you who are fans of other teams and don't watch AFC North football all year don't get it. Ask GAC or any Browns fan, I bet they would tell you.
The Bengals have a hot rivalry with the Ravens, and yet you don't see this crap against them.
But you do when the Steelers play the Ravens. There's a common denominator here.
Could you imagine if the Bengals had a QB that had raped two women what the media narrative would be? God, it gets so old. I honestly hope the Bengals just headhunt against the Steelers next year constantly. They would have to do it for years before they would come close to making it even.

You may have reading comprehension issues then. Because it seems crystal clear to me.
No more paper tiger. No more "overcoming" the Steeler bias and no-calls.
Either call a fair game, or there are going to be a lot of concussion protocols and suspensions until they do. Fine with me.

I know, Jojo.
You want to make this about being a sore loser.
A sore loser is when you lose fair and square and you complain.
A sore loser is not when the refs call it one way for one team but not the other.
What you are arguing is sort of like saying that I should pay for a booger on my plate at a restaurant because I should have chosen a different restaurant. Or that these things happen.
We understand the tired story of overcoming referee mistakes. It's a fun thing to say to someone when you don't have the words for anything else. We get it. You don't have an argument. So you can just say "Rise above!"
We'll remember this when you point out unfairness somewhere else. We'll tell you to follow the model of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is to just pull yourself up by your boot straps and get over it.
