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.  

I’m heading to the gym but I’m just going to address this part:

On an offensive penalty in the last two minutes of either half, there is a ten second run off OR the offense has to use a timeout, which would have left you with one, meaning that we just had to prevent you from gaining the ten yards back one time because the clock would have expired on the second try.

I’m really starting to think using the crayons might not even be a simple enough explanation for the Steelers fans on this board because they don’t understand the rules.
