The fact that you're even saying that it could have gone either way, which it couldn't, means that you know you've been full of shit this entire time with any empty argument. It makes me wonder if you even watched the play beyond the time you saw it live.
If the defender initiated the contact and the receiver was just trying to get by, then he would have continued to try to do beyond the initial contact. Watch it again, he runs out, makes contact, and shoves McRae, and then doesn't even try to go any further, which why would he stop if he was just trying to run his route? He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head and no way he could have known that the ball had been thrown. Any time I see a receiver trying to fight through a jam, they may use their hands to throw them aside or swat their hands away, but I can't recall any shoves.
The Steelers only had two timeouts and would have had to use one to prevent a clock run-off, so they're left with one timeout and need to gain ten yards on one play. Further proof that you didn't even watch it and you're just making up bullshit and hoping that I'm too stupid to call you out on it, right?
But, anticipating your lack of maturity, as well as lack of football intelligence and common sense, to accept any of this, I know that you'll have no answer to any of this.
First of all, you implied that I had expressed an opinion before this. I hadn't. You apparently imagined that I had. You're good at that.
You say you can't recall any shoves from Hunter. Isn't that what you say he's guilty of?
At any rate, you should watch it again. You said that he just stops, which is true. But by the time he does, Brown has already caught the ball and has started streaking to the end zone. By that time, AB was in his field of vision. But it was such a quick release that Brown was likely the only planned option, so he wouldn't have had to see it know the ball had already been thrown.
I stand corrected on the timeouts. They had used one and were down to two. But why in the world would they have had to use an additional timeout to prevent clock runoff if the penalty had been called? The clock stops automatically after penalties are called.
So ... They had fifteen seconds and two timeouts to gain 10 yards back. Certainly, the Bengals could have stopped them under those circumstances. But, to claim that they absolutely would have is downright ... Brad-like.
