Yes, it's so perfectly legal to PUNCH a QB in the face. Again. Ben's nose is crooked but there's no penalty! Nope!


He didn't punch him in the face on purpose. It was SO OBVIOUSLY an accident. Steelers fans are a bunch of whiners. Damn.
Yes, his hand just happened to accidentally close into a fist and slide up underneath his facemask and punch him in the nose.  Wow, Ngata's got magical skills!

I'm so tired of people saying Steelers fans are whiners.  Watch one of our games, see the mysterious penalties that are called on us and then not called when they happen to us.  It's frustrating and God forbid we (or the Steelers organization) speak out.  

Seriously.  I'm almost certain that had it been any other QB who would have gotten that treatment and given an impromptu nosejob on the field, there would have been yellow flags all over that field.  But because it's the Steelers, it's okay to not protect Ben as much because the only QBs that seem to matter are Tom, Peyton, and Drew..

If the NFL is really serious about trying to protect the safety of the players and want to enforce those rules, fine, but be fair about it.  So far this season, I've seen way more penalties incurred by the Steelers than any other team and most often, for head scratching reasons.
