OT: OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Stillers and our pointless bowl games we got!

[Ugene Magic]

Is the play not dead after you cross the plain with the ball? I don't get how it was even conclusive enough to overturn.

Exactly.

 

[Shockmaster]

As soon as he broke the plain with possession it was a TD. The ground caused the ball to come loose after already being a TD.

If that isn't a TD, then AB's catch last Christmas shouldn't have been a TD either.

The way I've always understood the rule... A player must possess the ball to the ground. I get it. So he did... and then he EXTENDS OUT AS A 2ND MOVE. So when he makes the 2nd move to extend out because he knew he was short, it's a football move. That ends the play at the goaline.
It's a horseshit f***ing overturn.

I usually dont comment on here since I am just a casual football guy (2/3 games each sunday are on german tv) but damn that was a tough one

 

[domaug]

It's a rigged league. What can you do?

seeing these comments, man. y'all need to take a deep breath and cool off.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

as much as that loss hurts, if you can't look at that game with an air of positivity for the Steelers, i don't know what to tell you.

They played better than I thought and gives me some hope...but if they play again it’s probably in NE.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

The NFL is rigged guys, unfortunately what happened wasn't surprising.

It's a horse**** ****ing overturn.

His knee was down.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Get AB and Haden healthy, get the second seed and 1st round bye, and go win in New England. The better team lost today due to the NFL overthinking what a catch is and isn't.

that guy does this every game. Bad call, but most of us aren't wearing tinfoil

His Knee and Elbow are also down...ball secured....then he makes a football move.

Whetever. This is the 2nd time this year the refs took away a winning TD that should've stood vs the pats.

 

[Dick Sledge]

You see the ball hit the pilon and then it fumbles it's still a TD. That was a TD.

Exactly what I saw. Honestly.. if that was in the playoffs, i'd write a very lengthy letter to the NFL voicing my displeasure!

But seriously.. that's a catch in 9/10 football games. And it was ruled a TD on field. I cannot believe for the life of me that was overturned. I cannot believe it.

 

[Andy99]

I just hope AB is available for the playoffs at this point...it would be horrendous if we lose both the game and him...

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

There was never a conclusive view of the ball touching the ground. I have no idea how that is conclusive. The best you can say is that maybe James let it hit the ground.

 

[Brandinho]

I've never seen a more blatant fix in my life and I regularly bet on Chinese CSGO, where every single match is fixed.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Imagine if, in the NHL, no one really knew what a goal was

 

[Shaffer]

@ColePens I might need to watch it more, but it seemed as if he didn’t have both feet down when he extended. You have to make a football move AFTER the catch, not during.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

seeing these comments, man. y'all need to take a deep breath and cool off.

Baaaa.

 

[ColePens]

Out of all the insane things I've seen overturned in every sport, I would have bet my entire retirement on that not being overturned.

 

[Shaffer]

Goaltender interference

 

[Smoke]

That rule is so stupid and has always been stupid

But lets not forget Ben basically lost the game with a pretty silly decision.

 

[TheSniper26]

I mean, honestly, I see something like that and genuinely wonder why I still bother watching. At best, the league and it's officials are completely incompetent. At worst, there's some kind of built-in bias. Either way, watching is starting to feel like a waste of time.

 

[theicebox]

That was bull****. **** the league.

 

[EvGeno]

as far as everyone saying fix,you would think the league would want someone else besides New England to win for a change…
