Game Thread -Divisionals-Pittsburgh V Indianapolis (1 Viewer)

Um - yeah. No flag. Sure. That's right... :confused:

They shouldn't get a flag..... That's like 4 calls that went Pitstains way, no facemask, ended up in a touchdown, no pass interference that ended up in a punt from Indy, and no holding or pass interference at leats 2 other times committed by Pittstain...What a joke! This game has been tainted, typical Pittstain fashion... pffffftttt :confused:

:lmao: idiot # 1!!
 
It was tainted in the 1st quarter, the game would have never been the same afterwards....

Pathetic? Perhpas, but there were 3 critical calls that changed the entire outcome of the game that you can't possibly overlook.

:ptts: , bleyotch!
 
8 minutes off the clock due to a non existent false start call, how can they possibly have a chance with the BS calls of these BS refs?

It was over in the 1st quarter, the refs made sure of that, I stand by my posts, each and every one of them....

Goes to show, there's a lot more money in Pit than Indy... What a crock! It should be a freakin felony!!!!!!!!!!!
Click to expand...
More money? You are more :11: than origianlly suspected.
 
Pittstain doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell in Denver ( PUN fully intended ), no way, no how...

This was certainly entertaining to say the very least...

But again, the refs win, oh and Pitt gets to play another week...

You are an excellent example of an excellent dimwit. You are so salty you are hoping for injury? Get a clue please.

Please show me one place where I've ever in the history of these boards existing wished for an injury on any player ever in the history of the existence of the NFL, MLB, NHL, Golf, NBA, LaCrosse or Soccer. I'll stay on the line and listen to your response.

Since two days ago? Nope, you win. I can't.
 
I am not a Colt fan or a Steeler fan, but for anyone, no matter the loyalty, to say the Colts got jobbed... you are an IDIOT.My guess is they are scoping for a free prescription of glasses... because you have to have the worst eye site evah'.I am not saying one or two calls didnt go the steelers way, but the INT and the interference call was just so unbeleivably blatent.... I mean we are at a point where these referee's need to be investigated and the NFL should start fining them. This was a horrible game by the refs and it went about 95% Colts way.Please have sour grapes about somethign else, because this is just pathetic.

 
No kicker is 100% from 46 yards.

A good offensive coordinator runs the ball there no matter what his QB thinks. That's why the situation with Manning dominating this offense is not the ideal situation.

In a dome?Granted, few are the kickers that are 100 percent on PATs for a career, but THAT was the time for Vandy.

 
Send the Steelers' mojo my way boys. I'll be at the game next week to dole it out. :towelwave: :towelwave: :towelwave: (edited for drunken reasons)

:goodposting: I have already stated that I think there will be some announcement about an obscure ruling that makes that the right call. I thought it was a horrible call at the time but then again most people thought the "tuck" rule call was the worst in history at the time.

Evilgrin and others should reserve judgement until the NFL makes an announcement this week. Its just fortunate that Pitt did not lose the game because of that.

Congrats to the Steelers fans.

This makes the way the Pats lost last night (giving the game away with Brady the biggest culprit) even harder to take. The Pats could have been hosting the Steelers next week.

Den/Pitt looks to be a pretty even game. Denver didnt play great overall last night but I thought their D showed a lot of toughness.

I know the rules - they can't justify that call. I can see it if a receiver catches the ball, gets both feet down, but then in the process of spinning, loses the ball, but you cannot call a pass incomplete when a player has made a catch, gone down, rolled over TWICE, and then gotten back up. That is a fumble, plain and simple. What the ref was feebly trying to contend was that Polamalu's knee went down, then came back up, only he lost control of the football while the knee was still down, thus making it an incomplete pass. Anyone watching that play can see that this is not even close. He rolled over 2 complete times before getting up AND KNOCKING THE BALL LOOSE WITH HIS KNEE. It was a horrendous overturn and one that really cannot be justified.I echo your sentiments that it's good it did not decide the game. Justice was served, but I still owe that official a shot in the nuts for almost causing me cardiac arrest this afternoon. :D

 
So if you intercept a ball and roll 30 yards down field, get up and drop it, that's an incomplete pass, right?That is the mindless logic Morelli tried using...bad call but justice was served.

Did you know the Tuck Rule when it happened? It is one thing to be a knowledgeable football fan and another to know the NFL rulebook from A to Z. Dont be so arrogant that you think you know EVERYTHING about football.The ref was saying that even though he caught it, went down, rolled over that he still needed to get up with the ball in posession for it to be an interception. As he was getting up his left knee knocked the ball out while his right knee was still on the ground.

I think it is idiotic that the defender should have to get ALL the way up before considering it a catch since if he had stayed down and not attempted to get up it would have been an interception. That is why it sounds like some crazy rule interpretation issue. What else could it be to overturn the call on the field.

It is SO moronic that I dont think Morelli could have come up with that on his own. That is why I am saying it is some rulebook interpretation thing.

The problem is that he never actually got up because his knee never came off the turf. He caught it, fell down, and dropped it. It's one of those cases where it is obvious to everyone that he caught the ball, but I believe strict interpretation of the rule is that it was incomplete.

I think that is close to how the refs interpreted the rule but if he had completely stayed down and never got up, it would have been an interception. He didnt have to get up to make it an interception so why penalize him for dropping the ball as he is getting up but is not completely off ther ground yet?
 
I'm not being arrogant and I don't claim to know everything about football. The rule, as I understand it, is that a pass is ruled incomplete when the receiver (or defender) who catches the ball, loses it while making "a football move" immediately after the catch, despite having established possession. I can understand why that rule would exist, but I think it was misinterpreted horribly here. If a defender goes to his knees, catches the ball cleanly, then attempts to get up and loses the ball in the process of doing so, before his knee(s) is off the field, then it's incomplete. This is not at all what happened here. He caught the ball and rolled over twice, and as such is already moving before he even attempts to gain his feet. Now, if he were bobbling the ball as he rolled, then it's the correct call. If he establishes possession and his knee (as is inherent in rolling over twice) has already hit the turf and left it before he even tries to get up, then it's a fumble if he loses possession of the ball. Sometimes these officials need to let their eyes and common sense make a ruling rather than attempting to allow an obscure rule to define a play, especially in a case like this where the rule, as I understand it, should not have applied.

I was typing about how well the Steelers had played and they deserved to win and as I was typing I look up and see some Colt running the ball the other way...I deleted what I wrote and wrote what you see...

Because if someone is touched down the play is over. You have to make a judgement at that time. Technically Polamalu fell down and dropped the ball without ever making a "football move" and then the play ended. I'm not an expert here of course I'm just trying to interprete what happened in a rational manner.The rule I don't get is the one where a receiver can make the catch, have control, touch both feet in, fall out of bounds, hit the ground, drop the ball, and somehow it's not a catch :shrug:

 
I was mucking it up before the game with Bettis. I had the Burger King mask on and held a sign that made fun of the steel curtain with a floral pattern curtain on a rod.Jerome was cracking up. Just as he was looking my way, the EMTs were rolling a stretcher by and I told Bettis they were going to need more where that one came from. He smiled and we had a nice laugh. He is a genuine guy who I've always admired. I hope he gets his chance to play in a Superbowl. I will be rooting for him as a Colts fan.Congrats Steelers, once again, the better team won today.

 
Vandy is clearly a graduate of Scott Norwood's school of mental toughness, racks all kinds of garbage points but can't hit a big kick.

Hey, take it easy on Norwide. AT LEAST he had bit of wind to deal with outside, Vandy was kicking inside on carpet, AND he's run his mouth for years!
 
Was watching Primetime and it showed the ref making the call to overturn the Polamalu INT. The guy looks like he about to throw up. He knew he was wrong even as the words were coming out of his mouth.

 
This is the exact reason i hate fotball the refs control the outcome of the game too much. They need to make the right calls, and shouldnb't worry about keeping the human element in the game. The refs should have paused the game went and checked the replay and made the right call the fanaca flinched. I have shut off my Tv until I can calm down further

Did this guy ever get calmed down and turn the game back on?
