Yep, they're always on the Steelers side. Waaaaaaa Waaaaaa Waaaaaaa

Neither of our teams are going anywhere. Steelers have issues of their own and we have possibly the worst defense in the NFL.

I don't know how people can say the officials are on the Steelers side when the Steelers lead the league in penalties. If that's being on the Steelers side, I want them on the Patriots side. They have the fewest penalties. I'll take that.

You're right. It'll be between the Chiefs and Patriots in the AFC.

I was eating at Wings & Rings, chatting with people, and then rolling home.

Where did you post that?

There it is. I love wings, but I can't stand spicy ones. I'm too white for the spicy ones.

Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?

If so, I can’t imagine why.  You’ve all got time enough to cry.

Notice how once Bradley’s half time show claims blew up in his face and it was a big nothing burger, he went dark.


Wwaaaaaaa Waaaaaa Waaaaaa

I’m really starting to think the crayons are necessary.....

The guy lined up to outside of Hunter and Brown released on the inside of Hunter. Your corner picked himself before the ball was even snapped.

I don’t think he was referring to a question he asked. I think he was referring to THIS question about your halftime show claims:

Wow. Like I said, he would have been able to make the play if Hunter hadn’t run into him and “accidentally” blocked him from running to tackle Brown.

I know Steelers fans are delusional, but there’s no possible way you can believe the bullshit you’re posting on this one.

Congrats.

Yep.....this is where I am.  For once, the teams played a pretty clean game.  I was glad to see that, and good to see that we are never out of it with our offense.  Defense on the other hand?  No bueno......

1. Not going for it on 4th and 1 on your opponent's 40 yard line with a defense that isn't getting any pressure on the QB.
2. Not getting any pressure on the QB.
3. Not covering the God Damn TEs
4. All the dropped passes
5. Feeling like the Bengals require a comeback in every single game despite being the "better team"

Not saying it wasn't OPI. I'm saying we shouldn't need an OPI to knock them out of field goal range to have a chance at winning in the first place against a 2-2-1 team that tied the mother ***** Browns and lost to the Ravens.

Spot on :andy:

Hey I was wondering, since you never answered the question, what happened to halftime that got you to suddenly stop talking?

Those same "professionals" that said Shazier "didn't line him up"?

...You're right, it was McRae that got picked.

After studying this a little more closely and listening to Al Riveron's explanation, my official opinion is that it could have gone either way. The main question is who initiated the contact. If the defender initiates it in an attempt to jam the receiver, the receiver has the right to fight through the attempted jam beyond that one-yard zone. Charlie Batch even offered that explanation on the Steelers post-game radio show several hours before Riveron tweeted about it.

After watching the play several times, I'd say that the problem is that reasonable people could disagree on who initiated the contact.

The thing is, had it been called, it's anybody's guess as to what would have happened next. The Steelers would have had fifteen seconds and all of their timeouts to regain that yardage and kick a field goal. No one can say with any degree of certainty whether they would have been able to do that. Therefore, it's a bit of a stretch to say that not getting the penalty absolutely cost them the game. No one can really say that for sure.

But, anticipating that you lack the emotional maturity to accept any of this, I'll just say this to you: tough noogies.

How good is Brown if they had to pick McRae for him ?
