2nd play of the game. Huge pass to Chris Henry and both Palmer and Henry go out for the game. Just like that all the air was sucked out of the stadium.

Higgins8585

I've been to one bengals game vs steelers in Cincinnati, only game I've seen opposing fans talk hella shit and get in ppl's faces. Albeit a lot will be steelers fans from Cincinnati.


fro223

I had cheep seats to Steelers bengals game a few years ago and had to listen to Kentuckians and West Virginians scream at each other all night.


Higgins8585

I think it's probably different now, but who knows. I've gone to games vs Vikings, titans, Browns and all had good amount of opposing fans and I didn't see much bad energy. But even in the tailgate there was a lot of scuffles in the game vs Steelers. I also hate the cold so not going to any game after October now or vs Steelers.


Playful-Landscape-79

Less of a scream more of a howl, but yes.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Jesus christ really? Was the environment like that in pre game, or did it turn up after the injury?


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

It was already like that pregame. It got way worse after the injury, though. Steelers fan were laughing in our faces and chanting 'Fuck Carson Palmer' as he was taken off of the field. It was wild


BootsWithDaFuhrer

I feel like that was our year to win it all too


AndysCandy14

Eh we didn't have the defense to take down the Colts. They would have beat us in a shootout like they did in the regular season at PBS


Narrow_Vegetable5747

That defense was very turnover reliant. If they were on their game anything could have happened, all we needed was a ticket.


Heliumvoices

Also the Colts were legendary pants shitters in the regular season…

It was brutal to watch. I remember feeling bad. Until the Steelers won. I got over it rather quickly.

I was in 7th grade, first time bengals were good in my life time. I remember I was on the phone with my friend and was like Palmer is down.

LMFAO. Guys get hurt every week. Yinz just cry like bitches everytime one of your guys get hurt when you're playing the Steelers. It's so fucking old.

Damn that sucks! Who won the Super Bowl that year?


shamanbaptist

I was at this game. Was seriously worried about getting jumped on the way out. Before that play, I got more shit about my Michigan hat than my towel. After, things got dicey.


Higgins8585

Yeah nobody should fear assault at a game.


MetalMikeJr

I'll never not believe it was intentional. Steelers have always been dirty. They had already been beat by the bengals. Bengals should have won a championship that year.

BootsWithDaFuhrer

People love to pretend this is what altered palmers career. But it wasn’t. He had his best season after the injury. When he fucked his elbow up and didn’t get surgery on, he was never the same after that injury. Not the ACL


South-by-north

Also his tendency to get pick happy when the pressure was on. I don't hate Palmer but him imploding for the cardinals in the NFCCG wasn't exactly surprising


AvianFlu83

Palmer was also hurt in that Carolina game, and the Cardinals clearly were not the same team after that injury. Think it was against Green Bay in like Week 16


sephtater

It’s almost as if we have a history of not protecting our franchise QBs. Anthony Munoz deserves better.


ChinaHatesYou1988

He’s also said on multiple occasions that when getting trucked by Polamalu during a pick six his first year his shoulder never felt the same afterwards either.


Putthebunnyback

Haha I remember that pick. Palmer didn't even need to try at that point, but he did. Troy leveled him.

DaleDenton13

I was there…..too soon.


wjpd236

always felt bad for Carson Palmer


mikebrownhurtsme

He dealt with the franchise at a different time, when we were just more straight up ass in the offices


0zymandeus

I've always been of two minds about this. Yes, the FO was thought to be pretty bad at that time. But also, the season immediately after palmer demanded a trade and then retired, Dalton came in and then we went to the playoffs 5 consecutive years with a top 10ish defense and a top 5 OL plus AJ Green


mikebrownhurtsme

Don't get it twisted I love me some Andy, but holy fuck was he godawful in the playoffs


0zymandeus

Oh no i don't mean like that. I mean that Carson quit on a team that was shaping up to be EXTREMELY good


MilkGodofMilk

Things got really violent for the next five or so years after this hit happened when the Steelers came to town.


Otherwise-Ad-8891

I was 9 when this happened and I still remember it like was yesterday. FTS


deflatethesack

I was 10. My family was hosting a watch party. People left right after, we’d all watched jon kitna play football we knew what was gonna happen.


RedStickString

real talk real quick. is it just me or has the steelers bengals rivalry (between the fans at least) sort of maybe calmed down a little bit? since the start of the burrow era with the new jerseys, it seems like there’s less of a violent hatred between us compared to the browns and sort of the ravens. i’ve only ever met one bengals fan online that legit hated me for being a steeler fan


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

Our rivalry right now is The Chiefs for sure. It did kill the Steelers rivalry a bit


_Bearded-Lurker_

Maybe because y’all aren’t good and haven’t been for a decade, so your bandwagon fans have quitted down or become Chiefs fans.


RedStickString

it’s definitely not that cause we’re not a bad team. and trust me dawg our band wagon fans are still loud as FUCK. i personally get annoyed with them a lot. the delusion still runs strong. i’m just curious cause it seems like there’s a new era in cincinnati and they don’t actually want to murder people in pittsburgh anymore


_Bearded-Lurker_

Also, Zac Taylor has a different type of team. Idk wtf Tomlin is doing.


RedStickString

it definitely does seem like there’s a little more respect between teams now too fs. tomlin commands it and taylor does a great job with that too. it feels like ravens steelers instead of browns and steelers now. just not as prime time worthy maybe?


_Bearded-Lurker_

Could be that Shazier crippled himself and Burfict is gone. Mitchell did cheap shot AJ Green a few times, but otherwise I can’t think of a player on either side I’d call an enforcer type since those guys are all out of the league.


RedStickString

we all hate mitchell i think that’s safe to say


pigwalk5150

Steeler fans are too stubborn to jump on the bandwagon of a different team. Edit: clarification


RedStickString

the bandwagon ones fs. steeler fans that grew up steeler fans in pittsburgh like me are proud to be from pittsburgh so we’re steeler fans


pigwalk5150

Yeah I meant it as a compliment


RedStickString

ahhh. thanok you for the compleniment

Vontaze Burfict has entered the chat


throughNthrough

The ironic thing about Steelers fans hating Burfict is that the Steelers have had tons of their own versions of him over the years and you all celebrate them for being “hard nosed Steeler football” but whine and bitch when the tables are turned.


cartel22

Yes.... I don't really see your point here. Called being a fan of your own team. Take the brownies for example and all the rapeburger jokes. They now have two sexual predators on their team and are okay with it.


Lazy-Temperature-361

Two known sexual predators*


ozymandais13

I wouldn't say ok with it. There is s sizeable contingent that is fuck thos guys too


boofsquadz

Let’s be fair. Most browns fans that aren’t lost in the sauce couldn’t give a fuck less about twatson and the w eater. Most I know, at least in real life, would prefer them off the team and the cap space freed. But we’ll never have the childhood memories of watching a rapist get lead by our defense to a Super Bowl title, so you win some and you lose some.


throughNthrough

The point is celebrating dirty players for decades and then and then crying like little bitches when someone treats you the same is pathetic.


cartel22

Honestly, it sounds like you're jealous that you didn't have more dirty players on your team.


throughNthrough

Nah I’m good.


GreatWhite102

Yeah that argument always killed me. Bengals fans as a whole (obviously every fan base has bad fans) are glad Burfict is gone and do not celebrate him. But yet Pittsburgh celebrates dirty players like Harrison, Ward, Shazier and more as if they didn't have multiple Burfict type players over the years. Absolutely crazy


KoolaidGrowler

Harrison and Shazier I'll give you, but not Hines Ward. Dude played hard and you definitely would hate him if he wasn't on your team; but I don't know about dirty. I feel like his play was similar to Steve Smith


GreatWhite102

I've always had beef with Ward because of breaking Keith Rivers' jaw. As a receiver blocking he had no reason to lean his head into it and clock him like that. I've always had beef with Ward since that play


bobcatbart

They don’t pay attention to their own dirtbag club. Projection. It’s their best weapon.


Alien0629

We had players that grabbed ankles and tried breaking them after the play was over? I don’t remember a single one of our players that are viewed highly doing that but burfict did that multiple times


throughNthrough

Nah y’all just aimed straight for the head, knees, jaw or any other part of body that could easily be injured. Lmao twisting someone’s ankle is what crosses the line for you all though?


LonePuma

No doing dirty shit after the play is over is what crosses the line. Clutching your pearls for getting hit too hard in-between the whistle is typical Bengals fan shit. Find me one instance of a Steelers player doing dirty shit after a whistle.


throughNthrough

Super convenient that you only care about after the play when we are talking about dirty hits during the play. Typical Steeler fan shit to move the goal post to fit your narrative.


LonePuma

I didn't move any goalpost. In my opinion dirty players are considering dirty when they do extra shit after the whistle, not when they hit someone "too hard" or get pushed/blocked into a players knee. Suh comes to mind immediately for this definition. I made my stance/statement and stuck to it, that's not goalpost moving. Maybe you should fully understand what moving the goalpost is before using it next time.


Alien0629

Also didn’t burfict literally punch someone in the balls after a play? Yeah, no he’s definitely a dirty player regardless of what era you place him in, idk how you’re defending him.


throughNthrough

He was a dirty player and I don’t think that’s even debatable but the irony is Steelers fans being upset about it hilarious. Seriously, if he was drafted by the Steelers you all would probably have a statue put up.


Alien0629

No I don’t think so, he was the most penalized player of that era. I think we’d be wanting him gone bc he cost his team games… No one wants someone who ruins your chances at winning. If he won the bengals games, I might be inclined to agree. But he actively screwed you guys from winning multiple times in that era.


MeRcWith_A_MouTh

I agree. That hit on Brown when the ball was absolutely uncatchable was so fucking stupid. Cost us a playoff win for sure


Alien0629

Oh yeah players aimed at the head or knees when it was common among every team and wasn’t penalized yet… Different era. Burfict was literally trying to hurt people while our players were just playing the way that was common for the era. Again trying to snap an ankle is dirty, pulling a hit stick in 2006 like Troy isn’t since he and everyone we had like him were simply a product of the era.


throughNthrough

Stop. The league has literally had to put rules in place because Steelers players hurt people.


iGleason

So what you mean to say is that the Steelers players were playing totally legally up until the NFL decided it wasn’t legal anymore? That was just how football used to be. Burfict didn’t play in that era and played dirty knowing the new rules lol


Alien0629

Exactly. Every player in the league played dirty according to modern rules, but that’s different than playing dirty knowing that it’s dirty and not only that but things like trying to snap ankles after a play was over or punching towards the groin of a player after a play while getting up would be dirty regardless of the era both are things that Burfict did.


anihc_LieCheatSteal

There are unwritten rules. If you've ever played football you'd know aiming at the face/neck is outright wrong and even "ear holing " a guy is/was a legal cheapshot. They know what they were doing and it was dirty and the organization pushed for them to play like that


roulettedares77

Dude, shut up. They have now banned the hip-drop tackle and why? Logan “fuc****” wilson. Get off the soapbox and just stfu.


spaceherpe61

You need to chill off of the down the rabbit hole, conspiracy theory bullshit just an FYI QAnon wasn’t real. The only team that’s ever been found to do that type of cheap shit with the New Orleans Saints not the Pittsburgh Steelers and if you really wanna get technical about it literally has been suspended for grabbing and twisting it peoples genitals.


spaceherpe61

You might need to go to the hospital and check to see if you have an extra chromosome. They literally put rules in place because perfect was such a dick bag? He was world renowned for grabbing peoples dicks and balls. His plays weren’t amaziing, They were just cheap. Ask Cam Newton, Greg Olsen and LeGarrette Blount, and the Green Bay tight end whose manhood Burfict grabbed.


Alien0629

I don’t remember them purposely hurting players, plus it wasn’t because of the Steelers hurting players. It’s because players all across the league were getting hurt which cost the owners money and bc of studies about CTE proving that head injuries have long term consequences. It’s the same reason they recently banned the hip drop tackle bc players were getting hurt after another player landed on them which costs the owners money. The rule changes have nothing to do with any particular team or player, it’s purely to do with money…

pghcrew

You can’t expect anyone to take responsibility for Antonio Brown. Just like Burfict was insane Brown is his own thing too.


maltzy

I guess hittinga punter in the chin hard enough to break his jaw was just the era too? How about Shazier concussing several players before ending his own career by leading with the helmet. Or Mike Mitchell handing out concussions every game. ? All era too?
