The whole Steeler defense headhunts. The Bengals do the same thing and they’re labeled thugs. Pittsburgh does it and they’re labeled hard nosed and tough because their rings afford them a certain catche with the league. Shazier got hurt employing the same cheap shot tactics Pittsburgh used when they gave Chris Conley a concussion and when they tried to wreck Alex Smith’s knee. You want to head hunt and try to intentionally hurt other players because it helps intimidate your opponents fine. Don’t expect me to feel sorry for you when it backfires.

Sucks the guy is paralyzed because he essentially lost the "hit" lottery. He checked off every box of what not to do if you want to avoid this. I said the same thing about Dennis Byrd, he was trying to spear and injure the QB when he collided and paralyzed himself.

Pittsburgh has always been the team that gets away with cheap shots and head hits.

They can't manipulate human anatomy and medical science like they can officials. Shazier is paying the price for the Steelers mentality.

I was going to reply with, "Well Marcus Peters won't ever have to worry about this", but I decided it would be too mean, so I didn't.

Still got peters schlong down your throat?

I'm not sure he has a "schlong" given his tackling skills, but with your man-love for the dude, if he even is a dude, I'm thinking that would be you.

I don't understand why the league continues to let the steelers get away with so much.

Well until they do, we ought to try hitting harder. Like "rub" routes, until they're called for what they really are, we should run a lot more "rub" routes.

Steelers are head hunters no doubt and the fact the leauge allows them to get away with it so often confirms bias. I used to actually root for the Steelers. Now they're the Raiders from the 90s.</br></br>**** the Steelers.

Wasn't a dirty hit at all. He just had poor head technique and lowered his head too much as opposed to just planting his face mask into the guy keeping his head up like you are supposed to do.

Dirty player, but hopefully he recovers and learns propee, safe tackling.

Didn't realize he was a dirty player.:shrug:

He's kind of a dirty player, in my opinion. Not the worst on the Steelers, and not nearly as bad as that punk Mike Mitchell, but most of the Steelers are dirty players. It's what Tomlin does.

If the Chiefs do it they’ll get penalized. The Bengals have tried to adopt what the Steelers do and they get penalized and labeled a bunch of thugs.

Uh huh, I'm actually convinced you had to take days off from work to rant about peters, regardless go drink antifreeze ya lil bitch

That will end when the coaches and team leadership call-out the officials. It's a natural process.
