The Pittsburgher Thread: The Steelers do Steeler-like things

[HandshakeLine]

Just absolute lol.

Thank god I won't have to watch the Stillers over Christmas.

Nothing like giving the opposition 15 years and 3 attempts at making a GW FG. lol

Also the ref or refs that blew that obvious false start should be suspended.

That was the most blatant missed call I've ever seen.

I also found it funny that steelers kept jumping offsides at the end. Petty as **** and I'm pretty certain they did that **** on purpose.

the thing that blew my mind about the false start TD was Cris Collinsworth basically asked the officiating guy he was talking with about it "that's that official's only responsibility too (checking for false starts), right?" and the guy was stammering trying to defend it.

also the offside shit at the end of the game, interestingly, the first time they got called (the one where he missed the kick) it didn't even look like they were offsides.

the game reeks all around. the Steelers did everything they could to lose the game, but the refs certainly played a role as well.

Well played Tomlin, well played.

Just when I thought Mike Sullivan became the more inferior coach of the two of them, Tomlin reared his ugly head.

Tomlin schooled by 2 much less experienced coaches. 0-3 against the AFC west in danger of 0-4 after next week.

3-3 at home, about to be 3-4 after we see what amazing way New England beats the Steelers again this year in 2 weeks. Home field “advantage”.

Defense can’t force a takeaway if their lives depended on it.

AB has been great, but he was outshined by both Emmanuel Sanders (Though that was more a Juju game) and Keenan Allen.

Who the **** is Justin Jackson?

Officiating aside, as I’m sure any Chargers fan/hater can easily spin it like “well they don’t call a lot of things on the Steelers!” A LOT of things need to go wrong to blow a 16 pt lead at home where you start the 2nd half with the ball. And a lot of things did.

Beat Oakland and Cincy at least. Everyone is celebrating the Ravens, but their last 3 wins have come against teams with a combined 11-25 record, 2 of which at home, where to their credit they DO generally win.

So if that happens, most likely the Chargers will be back. Revenge, right? Well, how did that revenge home playoff game go last year?

 

[Pens x]

We better hope that 9-6-1 is good enough to win the division. It seems like only yesterday that we might get a first round bye.

I’m not using the refs as an excuse for yet another annual debacle.

Again I’m blown away there are still some people who can’t connect the dots.

The only thing that surprises me more is the people who get all upset about these annual meltdown losses like they are somehow ruining the Steelers big SB dreams.

I’ve already come to terms with the fact that the Patriots are winning the AFC, yet again.

And it’s not even like they’re any better on paper than the Steelers, Brady/Belichick aside. It just pays to have a disciplined and well-coached team.
