Kellerman says Steelers should 'thank the refs'

[Joelist]

If you can't figure out why Steeler games are hyper important then you are not an actual Bengals fan.

So it's luck when we win but we can't say we're unlucky when we lose. Just stop with your negative Nancy bullshit. We're 4-2 we lost 2 a good team. Are there concerns sure but there more positives than negatives at this point.

Agree OL is horrid but believe the DL won the Miami game. 

There will be far and away more important games to come this year. 

Chill and enjoy the ride. Has been fun and exciting so far.

It's only the most important because it's this week.

Also, who says Pitt wasn't luck to get this win? What does luck have to do with anything? Either you make the plays or you don't. 

4-2 says some plays have been made.

Yeah, a TRUE fan needs to call our players “scum” and “human garbage.”

Support is earned. If they cannot play big in the big moment then they are undeserving of support.

How is it not relevant? If it’s called OPI the ball gets moved back outside of field goal range.

At least then they would have had to make another play. With the way our "defense" played they probably get it but yes it was one of the more blatant illegal pick plays out there.

Kinda glad I didn’t see the game so I don’t have to play this crap in my head. Because I would be, and it’s an exercise in futility.

As an OSU fan I’m on the other side of this. And I think shut up you lost. Be a better team. Because I’m the end nobody give a damn about how you feel you’re team has been cheated. I’ll bet yesterday there were a lot of posts on Minnesota’s message board about how they got hosed. I can think of a couple of plays where it seemed they did, and I don’t care.

Not like this....it was blatant and right in front of the ref and directly changed the outcome of the game.

This.

100%

Lap said that the key on this call is whether the receiver initiated contact more than a yard beyond the line of scrimmage. It looked like the DB lined up just barely beyond a yard downfield so it should have been a penalty by a matter of inches. It just feels like one of those calls where the margin of error never goes the Bengals' way.

Kind of like that holding call on Cordy Glenn. Yeah, you can call that holding but if Steelers O linemen got called every time they held on for that long as the D linemen tried to spin out, they'd have a 100 yards on them.

[Joelist]

The pick play wasn't close - it was 100% illegal and 100% should have been called.

[CJD]

Imagine if the Dline could have gotten even a single sack during that game, we may not have had to rely on a ref to win the game for us.

As he calls Goodell back and says he followed his orders.

[Tomkat]

Contact is initiated by the defender?????
HE'S STANDING STILL!

Holy shit, I've had about enough.

[BengalFanInNJ]

Defender did not initiate contact. He thought Brown was going to his right (Brown's left) and took a step that way. He then cut back when he saw Brown going the other way and Hunter was there blocking him. That said, it's one of those penalties that rarely is called and teams know it and will use it to their advantage. It was just a good call by the Steelers. Why the hell Austin had Jackson play off Brown is beyond me.

Dre K holding call gave them a first down when it should have been 4th and ten. Ab td outright illegal and the very definition of a pick play. Do you know why our d line got shut out today? you guessed it they were allowed to hold all game long even when we blitzed our guys was grabbed up.

This right here. Just a few calls here and there to tilt the game. Plus as usual allowing poopsburg's o-line to hold all day. 

Yes, I wish they'd come out and stomp the crap out of them all game, but I'd also love to see a good ref'd game for a change. Billings was getting mugged in the first half with no calls. The call on Glenn was crap and the offensive pick won them the game. Whether if they'd have scored later or not doesn't matter. We could have just as easily had a Dunlap tipped interception. JUST CALL A FAIR GAME!!! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR???

Drunken rant over.
