I have to say, seeing all of these posts in here, I have to wonder if you're just as annoying as you are in the Packer game threads.I unblock you in the FFA, but cannot take you in football game threads.

The reffing will work itself out over the course of the entire game. The important thing is for Balitmore to sustain this drive and get some points.

Complaining about the reffing all game while they get their butts kicked won't do you any good.

There's a holding penalty on Pittsburgh, automatic first down.

On 3rd and 15, that was a gift Ravens fans. Consider it even as you've gotten two automatic 1st downs on this drive. Give all this ref stuff a rest and enjoy the game.

CBS coverage is terrible. Why not show this alleged pass interference rather than the tackle?

Also, why not mention that leading with the crown of the helmet is an illegal tackle and should be flagged?

Because it isn't illegal unless you are tackling a QB or a "defenseless receiver". Leading with your helmet against a runner is perfectly legal.

Leading with the crown of the helmet is not legal, ever.from Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8 of the NFL rulebook...Unnecessary RoughnessThere shall be no unnecessary roughness. This shall include, but will not be limited to: ......(f) If a player uses any part of his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/"hairline" parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily. Although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet and facemask is impermissible against any opponent, game officials will give special attention in administering this rule to protecting those players who are in virtually defenseless postures, including but not limited to:(1) Forcibly hitting the defenseless player's head, neck, or face with the helmet or facemask, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him; or(2) Lowering the head and violently or unnecessarily making forcible contact with the "hairline" or forehead part of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player's body

Is calling an obvious penalty a gift?But I agree, let's get the refball over with now and get on with the game.

Great game plan so far by the Ravens. D needs to step up now, after laying down on the opening drive.

If the D holds here, I love the Ravens chances.

That was a pretty obvious call. He tackled him before the ball got there :thumbup:

How is it a gift when a CB takes out a WR about to make a catch?

I am pretty sure leading with your helmet in order to make a tackle is legal so long as the officials deem you aren't doing anything I bolded. It is possible to make a tackle, lead with your helmet and not commit a penalty.
 
On second look, that is really, really close.

Think it is a fumble, but his arm might have started to come forward. Tough call.

As soon as it hit the ground, I was thinking "I didn't hear a whistle. Why is everyone just standing around?"

I haven't made it through the entire thread, but we'll soon find out if the refs are really favoring the Steelers as people were claiming on page 2. That is a TD Ravens.

 
That was on Ben. Not only for holding it way too long, but he was the only Steeler that knew for sure that was a fumble and he didn't even make an attempt to get it.

 
Jeff Triplette is one of the worst refs in the NFL - he blinded Orlando Brown and he seems to be blind himself.

This game is turning into a debacle. Wonder if he will overturn himself. Looked like a TD

 
Terrible emotionally driven challenge by Tomlin IMO and if this stands then he's out of challenges and I bet he'll need one.
