Anybody else notice how they weren't showing any replays of the Steeler "penalties"?

James was called for offensive PI early in the game. No replay.

You see a P*t run where it looks like Steeler defenders are held. No replay, no flag.

Couple holding calls on the Steelers, no replay. They did show the one on Villenueva, but that's it.

They didn't want the folks in TV land to see how ******* full of **** they were on their calls and their no-calls.
 
I feel like I know rules pretty well. I was confused by Cooks illegal touch. It is a penalty with no consequence. Now going out and coming back in on a punt sure as hell is a distance penalty.
 
No replay of the block in the back on the Pats last punt return. I missed it live but if Nantz pointed it out, it must have been blatant.

the penalty is loss of down, so it pretty much makes it an incomplete pass.
 
No replays on ANY questionable P*ts plays.

2 ******* penalties. I'll say it all ******* off-season. Somebody needs to blow up Brady's knees because the NFL is going to do EVERYTHING in it's power to send him out a darling.
 
The fact that the refs didn't throw a flag on Martavius Bryant's one handed TD catch was borderline criminal!

The DB was grabbing and holding his left hand all the way across the field into the endzone.

It was so blatant I really don't know how a flag was not thrown! Refs missing a call like that is absolutely disgraceful.
 
Wow. Their cheesy dialog when fans were "in the bathroom and getting drinks" when the second half kicked off was almost too contrived. I wasn't sure if they were covering for empty seats or what.
 
On the Bryant TD they needed to either make an offensive or defensive PI call. Since they made neither you KNOW it was defensive.

And what slayed me the most was how Gilmore was looking for the flag immediately after the play. It was a complete joke the stuff they got away with, and I was yelling about it all game about how they were not calling **** on the **** the same way wig is now.

Nope. Not this. This is for real. Visiting teams def get an advantage of a half empty stadium if they receive the second half kick. One time in my life I went and try both restroom and beverage refill at Heinz at the half. Got back to my seat with 1:38 in the third.

A receiver stepping out of bounds (leaving the field of play) becomes ineligible. Any contact with the ball is illegal.
 
That overturned td did me in. Now that I look back. 2 penalties total for 4 yards is hilarious. No need to even get mad over this crap anymore. It's on level with the WWE. It's been this way for a good many years. I'm absolutely certain of it.
 
The Pats are the new Seahawks... they can hold all day long and get away with it.

On the INt play the Pats guy just about removed the Steelers jersey he was ya king on it so hard. No penalty, no call.

Should have been PI, no INT and play from the 1 yard line since it occurred in the end zone. But that would not have made the bookies....errr refs happy.
