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

[bambamcam4ever]

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.

That's because you think the NFL wants to call a fair game.

Only a fool would bet on the NFL unless you have inside information.

 

[domaug]

Baaaa.

i don't know what that means.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I mean, I hate the players with a passion these days, but the league itself is just brutal with all this stupid calls/non calls.

You break the plain with the ball it's a touchdown. You go out of bounds with control of the ball it's a catch.

 

[Brandinho]

That rule is so stupid and has always been stupid

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

No, I'm not going to say that Ben lost the game. Ben kicked ass. He was incredible, then made one poor decision that he shouldn't have even needed to make.

Sean Davis was Gronk's bitch all game and dropped a game ending INT. If anyone lost it, he did.

The NFL doesn't know what a TD is. Welcome to Roger Goodell's league.

Brady and his team would never f*** up that bad.

That's why they win and the Steelers don't.

yeah, the game never should have been in the refs hands. We should have already won it. Our next to last o drive, and then that missed int killed us.

 

[Retrocity]

If the XFL is revived, they could have success based on if they outline what is and isn't a catch in advance.

 

[Brandinho]

Brady and his team would never **** up that bad.

That's why they win and the Steelers don't.

What are you talking about? Brady threw a floater directly into Davis' chest. How is that not "f***ing up that bad"? Get out of here with that nonsense.

 

[domaug]

if you wanna be mad at anyone, be mad at the coordinators who schemed all night to allow Gronk to go virtually unchallenged in single coverage. he ate up Sean Davis all night long.

 

[Ugene Magic]

@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.

The football play is extending his arms. The ball doesn't come out until after he broke the plain and hit the ground. He didn't fumble with the ball until it was legally a TD already.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I’m beyond angry right now. Just glad it wasn’t a playoff game.

The ball was tipped, pay attention.

he does have to land first for it to be a catch. That said, he did.

 

[Sam Spade]

New England are the luckiest ****ing team in the history of NFL. Every call goes their way. Everything goes their way always without fail.

 

[ColePens]

+ That was the best quality NFL football game of the year with the two teams looking the absolute best 2 NFL teams.

- That f***ing call at the end and the inability for Tomlin to double cover Gronk is insane. But seriously.. that call in the end is one of the worst calls I've ever seen in any football game. If it was ruled incomplete, i'd barely understand it. The fact it was OVERTURNED with conclusive evidence as to why is f***ing mindnumbing horseshit.

I don't believe for 1 second the league is rigged or any of that bullshit. That's silly. But man.. come on. Come the f*** on with that. That was the dumbest overturned call I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

And what to the Steelers do after it? They are idiots. They aren't prepared. Ben wanted to spike the ball on 3rd down. None of our players even realized it was 3rd and didn't run a route. ONE GUY ran a route.

They did the right thing...players have to make plays, like the INT that left his hands
This loss is on the offense --Ben and Haley. Ben for that final play and Haley for calling it so conservative with less than 4 min left that they couldn't get a first down. All they needed was a few first downs on the previous drive and they would have won

 

[Brandinho]

The ball was tipped, pay attention.

You think Ben lost the game, I'm not the one who needs to pay attention.

 

[NMK11]

Now Im just mad at everything. Mad at the refs for calling an incomplete catch WHEN THE PLANE WAS BROKEN AND HIS KNEE WAS DOWN. AND HOW IS THAT CONCLUSIVE ANYWAY, YOU CANT TELL ME YOU COULD SEE WHERE HIS RIGHT HAND WAS OR WASNT JUST UNDER THE BALL

The NFL isn't rigged, it's just run by incompetent people. Everyone except the people running league can understand what is and isn't a touchdown.

 

[td_ice]

Yeah, agree with all of the above (Cole).

Sucks, because we needed that, we have no shot whatsoever if the play NE on their field. We needed this one.

 

[Brandinho]

I can't discuss this anymore, too angry and there's no point stewing over it. Enjoy the rest of your nights.

 

[Smoke]

Well, if him and his offense weren't so unprepared they might still be playing in overtime.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

If you don't begin to question the league's integrity after something like this, you lack critical thinking ability. The Patriots had 5 yards in penalties on the road, which happened for only the 5th time this season, weren't called on many obvious penalties, on top of that bogus overturned TD at the end.

Let me ask you something, were you surprised at the review result?
