Oddly enough, the Steelers lost Pouncey to ankle surgery, yet I haven't seen any of them crying about the field condition in the thread related to the injury..

There is no way you can possibly defend that field.

I'm not, but the NFL must have declared it fit for optimal performance..

And, crying about a field condition is Jr. High shit.

The Steelers do have a history of having really awful field conditions. 

Funny enough, they complained about the field during the HOF game lol

So, are you saying that the Heinz Field Crew has it out for the home town team??

No, the HOF game is played in Canton.

So, we have people crying about the conditions of a field that gets exactly one game per year??

(I realize that other games are played on it, after the HOF game)

I'll say it Yes!

Steelers Center Maurkice Pouncey needs ankle surgery. Possible retirement?

Coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that Pouncey will likely require surgery, and Ed Bouchette of thePittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Pouncey has a broken bone. Pouncey was overheard saying if he needed more surgery he may think about walking away from the game.


I doubt it happens, but interesting nonetheless.

So you're saying the NFL never makes mistakes and never favors one team over another?  That field has been a problem for a long time.

Not shocking this happens in pittsburgh. It's by far the worst playing surface in the league and has been for years. They need to go to field turf, it's a joke they play all those games on that field.

I know how much you you value your opinion over facts, so I'm sure I'm just pissing in the wind with this.
