This thread is not about griping about the loss. It is about the inconsistency in the reffing of the games. So explain this to me:
1. In the first ravens game, Tyler Eifert catches a pass from Dalton, takes two steps, turns and reaches over the goal line. As he hits the ground, the ball comes out. The refs said he was a WR making a catch and did not control the ball all the way through the catch. No TD.
2. Gio Bernard catches a pass from McCarron, takes two steps and turns, gets rocked by Shazier and fumbles. The refs say he made a football move and therefore became a runner. Fumble, steelers ball.
I am not even going to get into the hitting helmet to helmet. But based upon the two examples above, it was called one way by one ref crew and the totally opposite way by another ref crew. Explain that to me. Why was Bernard considered a runner, and Eifert not?
