Steelers Bears Game Thread

With the exception of AB, there is no talent on this team as of yet. I keep hearing all about it, but it's all talk, which is bravado crap. Show me action. Show me some ******* points, then maybe I'll believe.
 
Just can't get a break.

Why does the ball go back to the spot of the fumble?

If Boswell just fell on the ball in the endzone it would have been Steelers ball on the 20 as a touchback because of change of possession from the Bears to the Steelers. ( if not for time being expired)

If the ball went through the endzone on it's own after the fumble, it would also be a touchback.

BUT, because of the defensive penalty, the last team w possesion gets the ball back at the spot of the fumble with the penalty yards added. (half the distance)

There is an example of this scenario in the Lions vs Seahawks where the official did NOT, but should have called the illegal bat explained by Blandino (after the fact, which showed what SHOULD have happened IF they called the penalty)

and another without the illegal bat coming into play where it would have been a turnover through the endzone and the call would have been a touchback:

For all you Tomlin haters, all my eyes see is Ben and Bell off their games and the D missing tackles. I guess that's on coach as well, it makes ya'll feel better. I just wish our guys came to play today.

If this ****** road performance was only today, you have a point about only blaming players. But this type of road debacle has become the norm on Tomlin. Way too many times for it not to be something he is doing, or not doing, for road preparation.
 
Nice block Leveon. Puss.
 
To bad Bryant has been playing like ****.
