A little surprised the referees got that one right. 

It’s a sukkot miracle

 

[infantsam]

That was a good rules play there.  I think you cannot force a muff on a fair catch

 

[[scooter]]

It's a turnover Al ... it's automatically reviewed.

Automatic review only applies to fumbles and interceptions. Muffed punts are not covered.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ekeler>Gordon

 

[ShamrockPride]

Hunter babeeeeeeey

 

[fred_1_15301]

Not a good series of plays there for Bush

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I can’t believe SD cant score.

 

[The Frankman]

Losing football right there.

 

[[scooter]]

Right call but for the wrong reasons. The ball touched the Steelers player first, which itself is a penalty.

Looked le it hit King's shoulder first?

Yep. Rule 9, Section 2:

"'First touching' is when a player of the kicking team touches a scrimmage kick in the field of play that is beyond the line of scrimmage before it has been touched by a player of the receiving team...First touching is a violation, and the receivers shall have the option of taking possession of the ball at the spot of first touching, or at the spot where the ball is dead."

Even if the refs had allowed Pittsburgh's recovery to stand, the play could have been reviewed and overturned:

Rule 15, Section 3:

The Replay System will cover the following play situations...
(b) Plays involving touching of either the ball or the ground
 - Touching of a Kick. Whether a player touched a kick and the spot of touching.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yeah now that's a situation where I go for it (even if it were 4th and 25).     

 

[The Frankman]

REVIEW THAT HE DROPPED THAT!!!!

EDIT: Oh Chargers ...

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Dumb

 

[parasaurolophus]

They probably wouldnt have overturned it anyway. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

For quite a few reasons, I wouldn't even let Hodges throw another pass this game.

 

[PennStater77]

THAT WAS DUMB!!

 

[The Frankman]

Well that was a surprising move there.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Ugh why are they throwing deep there

 

[SengerCJ]

This game really has the feel of a MNF match. 

 

[JoeSteeler]

Here we go...

 

[irish eyes]

Why is holton still on this team. Mind boggling at this point. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Bush with like the 3rd or 4th missed tackle

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ugh why are they throwing deep there

Yeah it doesn't make too much sense but the probability of them losing the game (even with the int) was around 1%?

 

[Jayded]

1st and goal from the 4 and they don’t even run Gordon once?

 

[fred_1_15301]

That's a TD.  Very nice catch by Henry.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Yeah it doesn't make too much sense but the probability of them losing the game (even with the int) was around 1%?

2 TDS in 7 mins is more than a 1% chance, especially with a 3rd string QB

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ok now just run the damn ball and if necessary throw an extremely low risk pass.

 

[travdogg]

1st and goal from the 4 and they don’t even run Gordon once?

Why waste a play?

But seriously, what happened to Keenan Allen? Was leading the NFL in receiving after 3 games, been on a milk carton since.

 

[fred_1_15301]

2 TDS in 7 mins is more than a 1% chance, especially with a 3rd string QB

When I made the post, they hadn't scored the TD at that point.    

 

[ffldrew]

That's a TD.  Very nice catch by Henry.

Left him on bench - wasn't sure if I could trust the report and believe he would have a game like this. Like I've complained before - it's hard to read an injury report and feel comfortable on someone questionable all week

 

[JoeSteeler]

Conner out?

 

[parasaurolophus]

What the chargers need is a 3 and out...promptly give up a 20 yard run, lol. 

 

[JoeSteeler]

When I made the post, they hadn't scored the TD at that point.    

I get it but there was not much doubt in my mind they were going to go down and score 

it was. A stupid call 

 

[Arodin]

Did you guys realize Desmond King returned a punt for a touchdown last week?  Can't believe they haven't mentioned that on the broadcast tonight!

 

[fred_1_15301]

I get it but there was not much doubt in my mind they were going to go down and score 

Why?  They hadn't scored a TD all game up to that point.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

jarvis jones.  oh man, that guy

 

[JoeSteeler]

Why?  They hadn't scored a TD all game up to that point.

Just had a strong feeling they were going to go download and score. maybe just from many years of being. Steeler fan 

honestly feel right now it is about 50/50 the Chargers don't tie this up I need the next 4 minutes

 

[PennStater77]

Minkah well worth that first round pick lol

 

[JoeSteeler]

Minkah well worth that first round pick lol

Irish eyes alias?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

the last time the steelers didn't have a first-round pick was 1967?  That is genuinely astonishing.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Here we go again...

 

[Long Ball Larry]

my god, the 1974 draft.  4 hall of famers in the first 5 rounds.  

and in 1975 they drafted Walter White #ElCamino

 

[GROOT]

Tomlin....adjust

 

[JoeSteeler]

Sutton has made a couple nice plays so far tonight..

 

[JoeSteeler]

Where has the pass rush gone?

 

[PennStater77]

Where has the pass rush gone?

he got hurt in the first quarter

 

[Dez]

You kick it deep idiots you have all 3 timeouts onside kicks NEVER WORK

 

[irish eyes]

I cant believe what im seeing right now.  Steelers are going to piss this game away 

 

[JoeSteeler]

Not sure how that wasn't offensive pass interference on Henry

 

[SengerCJ]

Kick it deep??... what

 

[Steeler]

Surprised they did the onside kick.  Kicking it deep and having Pittsburgh run 3 times and punt would have been a better choice IMO.
