I realize that had AB been stopped it was going to be difficult to get the spike off. However, I'll tell you one thing. Had he been stopped that would have been one of the shitiest missed calls in the history of the game. How much more of AB'S face mask did Waddle need to get on that play. Like Jeez how did they possibly miss that.
 
We've been getting screwed by the refs the last couple of weeks. I think the personal foul on Shazier was a make up call for the one on the Ravens.
 
A lot of that going on for a few weeks. I don't think it can all be the explained away by bad refs either. Some of it is crystal clear.
 
AB needed to be more subtle on his push off. I'll even give that one. But it took the third PI before they finally get one. The Shazier call. Berry's plant foot was knocked out from under him.

Don't forget the multiple holds on their OL that weren't called. They were forced to call the one, Dupree was literally dragged down from behind. But in typical fashion Harrison was held on both the left and right side on multiple occasions.
 
I swear to god the officials are told by NFL Brass to keep the game close and call penalties in favor of teams that are behind in order to keep advertising during an NFL game at a premium price! Our Steelers have been getting ****** by the NFL for weeks and the no call on the face mask by Weddle was ridiculous....I screamed at the TV when that happened and how the back judge didn't see that and throw the flag is beyond me. They were probably taught to work towards OT in a situation like that.
 
That's the second time Brown about had his head ripped off from someone grabbing his face mask with no flag
 
NFL never really invests in great officiating. They prefer to line the inside of their wallet.

I prefer to think the officiating sucks because the officials


suck
 
Glad it didn't come down to that because it would have been VERY close for them to get a spike off. More interesting question: If they don't score and stop the clock, do you go for the win or the field goal to send it to OT?

FG

As you would have more than one play for a opportunity to win.
 
I was sitting near a Ravens fan he even mentioned how the steelerst get a lot of calls against them
 
All I know is that I smell some good January football cooking and if we stay reasonably healthy there's not a team in the league we can't beat on any field, HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Hell even on the immaculate extension there was a facemask non call....................

You wonder why so lopsided on calls for and against.
 
I guess roughing the kicker is OK these days, too

You know they are trying everything they can to keep the games close, FOR THE MONEY. The NFL has turned into Pro Wrestling, and has thrown away the long time die hard fans for Fantasy Football fans. This is the first year where it is really showing how many long time fans are leaving.
