    Fuckin referees. That roughing the punter was such bullshit. That rule needs to be removed from the books. In fact, it should be worth two points to hit the punter so hard they need to get carted off the field.

    I don't want to hear complaints from Steelers fans about officiating after Super Bowl XL three years ago and that phantom roughing the kicker call just now that gave the Steelers a chance to get points.

    (Steelers fans are bitching everywhere)

    that call for having Berger land on top of him when he didn't even touch him gave me flashbacks to the infamous "low block" 15 yard penalty on Hasselbeck.

    So Bronco players can lay on the ground all they want without being charged a single timeout vs the Jets but Sweed is on the ground and a timeout is called?

    Hmm interesting, VERY interesting.

    What terrible clock management at the end of the half by the Steelers. Mike Tomlin just made Herm Edwards look like Bill Belicheck

    Roughing the Punter call WAS BS...I admit it...but the Ravens are getting away with all kinds of roughing shit and nothing is being called on em.

    and the clock management at the end leaving THREE Points on the board. God I hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

    Yeah I saw one of the Ravens d-linemen get away with a cheap shot on Roethliesberger. Business as usual for the referees eh?

    Nothing was worse than Demps hit on Warner in the other game. Demps should be suspended for that hit.

    They did not deserve to be in position to attempt a field goal.


    HERE WE GO REFEREES, HERE WE GO

    Who know what the Ravens may have done if they got the ball back before the half?

    any injury with less than two minutes left is an automatic time out against the team. in the broncos game, there wasn't less than two minutes left (at least from what i remember) so it was a different situation.

    Based on what they've done in 8 of their 9 possessions, probably not much.

    Berger looked weird even before he took the snap there


    off the side of his foot

    ravens have good field position, but they've been unable to move the ball
