OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: NFL Playoff Time! How will Tomlin "Tomlin" this up?

[PensPlz]

Longest 1 second ever.

 

[ColePens]

You cannot make this stuff up. Announcers are flat out just mocking it at this point.

 

[Al Smith]

LOL - the old slow clock routine.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I half expected the goalposts to move mid flight to make the fg good.

 

[cookthebooks]

this is truly wild

 

[ColePens]

I am honestly the hardest person to convince that biased refs exist or even that something shady could be going on. I don't believe in stupid shit like that. I think there is just way too much on the line for people to risk that.

But I am starting to believe there is some substantial evidence supporting this bias. The "catches" that went for/against NE. The penalties in this one that looked forced. I mean hell.. the initial call was actually FALSE START and then overturned after a minute to a neutral zone infraction leading into a first down. The push off... I mean. It was flat out within 5 yards so it's not the right call at all. I understand if a couple calls go a teams way. Steelers/Pens get theirs. But this evidence is really starting to build up.

It is what it is, but man I'd love for a hacker to jump in and do some digging. There is just some really interesting stuff going on.

My only hope is this madness will cause some dialogue and this shit doesn't happen next week (for whoever plays the Patriots.)

I wa sthinking the same thing. Get it in the officials heads so then next week (if we win) it won't be one big call.

Thanks for a good rational post.

Then you got Paul Zeise on Twitter just all like “herp derp James Harrison was held, conspiracy!” God his sarcasm is insufferable.

 

[cookthebooks]

titans need to keep this close for the benefit of whomever wins tomorrow tbh

 

[TNT87]

 

[cookthebooks]

predictable

 

[PensPlz]

NOW the refs start calling people for holding Harrison.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

"Mike Mularkey was not happy with the officiating in the first half."

Another hot take by this broadcast crew.

 

[Dick Sledge]

I hate Mike Mitchell.

 

[The Gobfather*]

I hate Mike Mitchell.

?

 

[Dick Sledge]

?

Nothing in particular. Just like making that known.

Edit: it stems from the patriots good fundamentals and tackling. Where we have mike Mitchell. The antthesis of good tackling and being a professional.

 

[ColePens]

Oh I did not... but I thought it was a 5 yarder. That was actually a 15er.

 

[Al Smith]

Someone talked to Romo at half time for pointing out the long second.

 

[cookthebooks]

that throws why they don’t need any extra *{¥]#%%+ help

 

[Dick Sledge]

Someone talked to Romo at half time for pointing out the long second.

He's backtracked on a few if those tonight it seems.

 

[Brandinho]

Well that was the narrative all week.

As is the narrative with Jacksonville.

One false narrative doesn't beget another.

Nobody with a brain thought Foles was bad, but a lot of people did massively overrate Wentz so, at least in that sense, I understood the (misplaced) doom and gloom.

Bortles isn't even as good as Foles, though. One of the worst pocket passers I've ever seen.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Yeah the reviews in New York are supposed to be "neutral" as well but we have seen how that has turned out.

You know what a computer is you stupid young shit.

 

[Al Smith]

You know what a computer is you stupid young ****.

That commercial bugs the **** out of me too. My supergenius kid doesn't know what a computer is.
