And that still doesn't change the fact that your team has two knuckleheads that can't control their emotions and made boneheaded plays that cost them the game.

Hill's fumble cost us the game.....well that and the decision to run instead of kneel, kneel, kneel, FG.  That's the truth of the matter.

The game took a turn for the worst when DeCastro shoved and tackled 55 and a no call, then the hit on 25 really set off the emotions, from what I saw, and what I have heard from folks in the stands.  The refs lost control at that point.

Now, as for Porter, you can say what you will, and we can say that 55 wouldn't have hit 84 in the head had 84 not spun around and ducked his head into the path of the defender.  You won't believe me, and I won't believe you.  The fact is, no one knows except those on that field about what really went down.  

If we're going to crucify 55 for his reputation and place guilt upon him based on preconceived notions, then the same holds true for Joey Porter.  Based on the precedence of his prior behavior, he was sent out there to instigate.  Why wasn't Tomlin or the WR coach out there with 84?

After all is said and done, there should have been off setting penalties on Jones and Porter, and the FG becomes a 50 yarder.  At that point, I am satisfied with the results, whatever they may be, because we cost ourselves the series before.  The only thing more bungaled than our own possession in the red zone, was the way the officials handled that scenario.  Well, that and listening to Mike Carey's pathetic attempts at rationalizing the no call on 50 vs 25.  What's even more comical, is that 36 got a penalty against 10 for a very similar bang bang play and didn't even use his helmet!
