Awful NFL officiating.

You're actually going back to THE REPLACEMENT REFS to get your examples?

And the best you can do for Sunday was one potential "spear" (let's just forget that the definition of a spear requires a launch and Dunlap did not launch). It is possibly roughing the passer, that I could see. For a REAL example of spearing see Mike Mitchell launching off his feet leading with his helmet at AJ Green - only a duck by AJ prevented injury:

This should have been an immediate flag for flagrant personal foul as the obvious intent (since his hands were NOT extended to try to grab the ball or anything) was spearing. 



Meanwhile there were multiple flagrant no calls favoring the Steelers, a TD wrongly ruled incomplete and a really dumb fumble call. 

Sorry, but finding four "examples" over 11 years is not proof of any kind that there is no bias. Not when other teams can point to it happening multiple times flagrantly in a single game. 

Ha ha!
I was going to make some sarcastic reply about issuing penalties based on "intent" and review the LONE Bengals touchdown and claim that it should have been called back due to one of the linemen intending to hold a Steelers defender when I SAW AN ACTUAL HOLD on the play that wasn't called. Check out Whitworths bear hug of James Harrison that didn't draw a flag. You delusional homers are soooo easy....
