Yes. I went berzerk. How do you impart spin on the ball if the hand has not started to come forward.'
Best post in this thread. The loss wasn't the officials fault, but to overlook how shitty they were and giving the Steelers favorable calls (and non-calls) boggles the mind. The late hit on Sanchez. Imagine that were Brady or Manning. And I mean Eli. There'd be yellow flags all over!
How about calling Eric Smith for UR ? Smith does not even move his feet. He basically lowers his shoulder to protect himself from a guy running into him. Then later in the game 25 hits Cotchery while IN THE AIR...no call.
You realize if we score the TD instead of the safety we don't get the ball back, right? We then have to stop Pitt's O which we couldn't do on their next meaningful possession so why would we have done it if we had cut it to 24-17? We lost this game b/c of the D, the officials didn't help and that fumble for a TD appeared to be BE but our D couldn't make a meaningful stop.
