Terrible start for the Steelers.
How come this thread isn't pinned?

Wheaton ''catch'' .....so f'n ridiculous THAT can be called a catch and the whole 'complete the process' bull#### with WR's having to hold the ball 5 minutes after they hit the ground.

Not super impressed with Justin Brown.

Did you watch the replay? He got both feet down, then he was pushed out of bounds, then he lost the ball. That's a catch.

Nice to see James Harrison making the tackle!

Love the taunting call when both guys are in each other's face.

Justin Brown can't catch.

OK, these celebration penalties are really starting to piss me off.

This crew did the Vikings game last week. They are the worst.

Taunting again? Tomlin--perhaps you should have a talk with your team? Just a suggestion.
timschochet

There's a difference between taunting your opponent and expressing joy after a successful play. I don't blame the refs; they're only following the rules. But these rules are ridiculous, IMO.

They don't call it consistently. I saw Garcon spin the ball like that on a 1st down on Thursday. I don't why it is a penalty after a TD.

3rd & 18 at midfield. Huge receivers. Throw a zero yard crossing pattern.
Sounds about right.

Lance Moore sighting.

That was awesome. 4th and short and Pitt looks like they're clearly trying to just draw them offsides. Ben walks out from under center and then back under 4 or 5 times with a hard count, then finally on the 5th one with 1 second left on the play clock they actually snap it and sneak for the 1st down.

Big Ben is hurt. Staying in though. Slammed his finger on his offensive lineman's helmet.

In baseball, what Ben just did (slamming your finger) would put you on the DL for about a month. Ben just stays in there.
Beautiful catch by Brown.

Clear offensive PI on Brown, though.

Clever little push off.

Dang. Given bumps & bruises with Mega, AJ & Julio, Antonio Brown is WR1 IMO.

The flag on the D was legit, from earlier in the play. It should have been penalties on both teams.Huuuuuuuge pushoff by Antonio Brown.
Flag on the defense.

TD Brown.
Don't know how they miss the OPI there.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. Antonio Brown is pound for pound the best receiver in the NFL.

Can't believe I got Brown as my WR2 this year in my main league, dude is unreal, beautiful catch. Currently WR1?

In fantasy, there's no one I'd rather have at the moment. And by the end of the year, top 3.

In the offseason, Alterraun Verner was a highly sought after free agent. I am sure glad my team didn't sign him.

Never saw the hold earlier. He stuck his arm out, not sure he even touched him. Definitely didn't appear to hold. Either way, it was about 400% less egregious than the Brown pushoff. As a Brown owner I'll take it, but horrible officiating.The flag on the D was legit, from earlier in the play. It should have been penalties on both teams.Huuuuuuuge pushoff by Antonio Brown.

Speaking of owning WRs, what a dud Vincent Jackson has been this year so far.

Two delay of games for TB in a row. That's pathetic.
Ghost Rider

He's certainly in the conversation for 2nd best WR in the league. But they are all just fighting for 2nd behind Megatron.

Oh ####, Bell is hurt.

Didn't look bad at first look.
ETA: Back in and with a touch, but limping around between plays.

Bell back in, appears to be OK.

Why not call timeout after the 3rd down stop defensively? Tampa punts with 2:33 on the clock and you have three clock stoppages (2 timeouts and the 2:00 warning.) Instead, they let the clock run down and Tampa punts with 2:00 on the clock and they have.... wait for it.... 3 clock stoppages. They basically cost themselves 33 seconds with no benefit.

That's why I said pound for pound. Brown isn't a size/speed specimen like Calvin or Dez Bryant.

Because most coaches suck at game management and aren't capable of beyond basic thinking when it comes to the clock.
They seriously, seriously need to just pay some guy $50k who's only job is to stand on the sideline and tell the coach how to manage the clock. Coaches have too much other stuff going on.

Looked like a catch to me.
