Memo to JuJu

I'm not a Tomlin hater but I always said it's up to the Coach to control the players antics and Mr. Mike Tomlin let them run wild. I didn't see the AB we had do his bull**** after his TD for the Bucs.

 

What happened if you didn't have it then? Did you play like crap? To paraphrase Noll if I have to motivate you then I should cut you.

 

Not yet. Give it time.

 

Let me see if I have this correct the TEAM that you are a fan of, had a player who took a hard hit that caused him to lose the football it was recovered by the team your favorite TEAM was playing against and it resulted in points off the turnover which led to another loss by your favorite TEAM and you are happy that the player for your TEAM got hit hard because you personally think his pregame behavior is disrespectful and gives fuel to the team your favorite TEAM is playing for which you don't feel apologetic about your opinion because you are a fan of the TEAM not the player. Sounds messed up to me but be jelli if you want.

 

Vonn Bell was asked about Juju's Tiktok dance before the game, his response was:

“We just gotta go out there, between the lines, go out there and hit him and let him know where he stands.”

If you don't think Bell had that in mind when he blew up JuJu, you're fooling yourself.

 

DJ still has some growing to do, but the kid was on the field 3 hours before the game working on catching the ball. I love JuJu in what he can (and brought to the field and community), but even at 24, you are no longer the 'kid' on the team.

 

What was Chase's tweet about?! How was that Offensive?! No seriously, I do not understand.

 

Blast I can agree to that, but why give the opposition anything to get momentum. This is a division 'rival' (regardless of record), they had 2 wins , their franchise QB and future has a horrible injury, and really only have pride and hope of showcasing individual talent. The moment MT was aware of this crap (especially with past exploits by AB) he should have stopped it. It was about this time of year when those antics came to light last time, taking focus off what should have been a playoff run. I am not delusional to think this team was or is at the top, injuries aside this slide shows total lack of discipline, preparation, focus, and motivation...that starts at the top.

 

History is written by the winners. Had the Bengals lost this game to the degree of which they lost the 1st meeting then this quote would be troublesome. However since they won and Bell got a good hit on Juju this is how its written, that he was extra motivated because Juju danced on his painted grass. Certain point of view.

 

It's possible to be happy about the hit without being happy he lost the ball. I of course want Juju out there playing and i don't want to see anyone get hurt, regardless of their team logo, but yes, I'm happy he got blown up. If he continues to do stupid tik tok **** on the field, especially when the team sucks, I hope he continues to get blown up. You want to dance and instigate the other team, then you need to earn it. That means playing well and winning games. There hasn't been much of that lately.

 

Let me get YOU straight....you think it's OK for a member of YOUR team to go out and act like an idiot before an important game, then get absolutely embarrassed by a 2-10-1 team playing their THIRD string QB? <------THAT sounds REALLY messed up to me but be jelli if you want.

 

The only thing offensive about it is that it looked past their opponent and assumed a win.

 

I had a long written out response but the day after losing one of my all time favorite Steelers and realizing he was only 12 years older than I am now, life is too short. The league is full of characters and sorry if that doesn't please everyone, build a bridge and get over it. Juju dancing or not didn't affect the game. If it did the Bengals should have been hiring guys to disrespect their grass in week 1.

 

We didn't hear about it because we were winning. Now that the team sucks, all the extra curricular stuff needs to stop. Sorry, if you want to dance at midfield, then earn it by winning.

Obviously I'm not the only one who feels that way since there was apparently some kind of incident in the locker room at halftime involving Juju and another player.

 

Noll was a superior coach to many, he is in a league with a rear few, Shula, Landry Noll, Walsh, etc... these were the great coach's of another era. These coach's were well respected and weren't there to be your friend, they were there to "WIN". There was no Bull****, just play the game and leave it on the field till you prove you are the best... Mean Joe, Bradshaw, Franco they know what I'm talking about. Play the game... everything else is bull****....
Celebrate after you win the Super Bowl...

 

It wasn't history, it was a prophecy.

 

Vonn Bell made his statement before the game, not after the Bengals won.
It has been an issue with Steelers fans and other teams all season, just not on this board apparently. Check Juju's tweet comments.
