Robbed!!

We WON this game and got robbed. That's not coaching. That's the NFL "fixing" things for the Cheats.

Turtling up on O, when ur only up by 8 in 4th. And giving Brady the ball back to get a FG, and doing pretty much the same the next set of downs, IS on the coaches. Play calling was ******* horrendous! If we, at least, get a fg and go up by 111, then turtle and eat the clock.
 
It’s been a ****** up rule since forever meant to make it easy on the ****** officials. If James is upright and a defender knocks the ball out of his hand, it’s a TD. The only instance where breaking the plane doesn’t score. Stupid.
 
I am so sick and pissed right now. Steelers were the better team, without Brown. They deserved that game. James controlled the ball after his knee hit the ground, and then he reaches out. That is a patent football move. That makes it a catch.

If the ball jostles after that, nobody cares. Has no effect.

Freaking ripoff. The Patsy MotherTuckers get another bullshit call that decides the game.
 
He went down the first time.....with the ball in his possession. THEN he made a football move to extend the ball over the goal line. That's when the ball came loose. Was a miscarriage of justice plain and simple.

They found a way to give it to the Pats on a bullshit technicality. Period.

You know what. Let's call it a great game,which it was. High level football. I am sure everyone will dissect this till death. The ball moved unfortunately. Let's not whine all week like the raven and Bengals fans. Class it up a bit. I am looking forward to smoking them in NE. And as always......GO STEELERS!!!

To some extent, but the Steelers are on the way to winning the game when Conner rips off a 9-yard run on 1st down, moving the ball to midfield, when the Steelers are up 24-16.

Nope, holding. Yeah, sure, let's call a hold now. Good thing the other 90 plays did not have a holding since the same crew had not called a hold the entire game.
 
James catches the ball, knee goes down, turns, reaches for the endzone, crosses the plane, ball moves slightly with his hands underneath, call on the field is a TD,

We all know this would never ever be overturned in any other game except one involving the cheating ***** and that fat ugly ***** that owns them.

He lost it when he hit the ground. Sad but true

In all the replays I honestly didn't see the ball hit the ground though. So where is the proof to overturn that catch? You can loose it and regain control as long as it doesn't hit the ground. It didn't appear that ball hit the ground in any form!
 
Is Brown having emergency surgery? Did he have a torn calf like I heard? I hope they can save his leg.

I saw the ball move but none of the angles showed it hit the ground. His right hand was under it the whole time. Whatever happened to irrefutable evidence?

The nfl. They burn it...and if they can't they cheat outright.

Headlines should be:
"Steelers robbed of win and Home Field Advantage"
But they won't, the press like the refs continue to lick the Cheats collective nut sacks.
Rogers was held in the end zone prior to the int, no call.
FAK the NFL
Why bother with playoffs, why not just give the Lombardi to Kraft now?

Once the ball breaks the plane, nothing else matters

Unless the WR is going to the ground. Then he must maintain control thru out the catch. The ball did move. The question here is did it touch the ground with James' hand underneath it? Irrefutable evidence is needed to over turn the call. Was there? I would say no.

If a player goes to the ground in the process of making a catch he must maintain control of the ball until the play is blown dead. That does not mean that the ball can not move. It can move as long as he has control of it. He did. BS reversal.

So the play isn't dead when he crosses the plane, after catching the ball and making a football move?

If it were called incomplete on the field, I wouldn't be nearly as upset. But to overturn it? No ******* way man. Just plain robbed. Now I truly believe the fix is in.

This...100 percent this. You just cannot overturn that on the field call.
 
Conclusive evidence is my issue... im not sure if the ball ever hit the ground without his control and nobody else can either... both announcers say its 50/50... so the refs make the decision to reverse it... makes sense... smh. One penalty for 5 yards... no inplay penalties all game for the Pats... congrats.
