It must be nice to be above the rules.
Steelers - 13 penalties for 155 yards
Bucs - 9 penalties for 80 yards
Yep, the refs sure do go out of their way to protect the Steelers, dont they?
And since it’s you, I’ll proactively explain the things I don't mean by that so you won't pretend that I wrote them (yeah, right):
- I don't think those numbers are unfair. The Steelers commit way more penalties than they should, and it's frustrating to watch. I just want to know how someone can imply preferential treatment with numbers like that.
- I don't mean to say that the play you're speaking of shouldn't have been a penalty. I haven't gone back to look at it, so I don't have an opinion to share on it. It's irrelevant to my question, which is: I just want to know how someone can imply preferential treatment with numbers like that.
- I don't think that the Steelers never make dirty plays. They're surely not the only team that does so, as you guys seem to think, but I can certainly admit that they commit a lot of penalties I'd rather not see. But, since I'm in agreement (to a certain extent) with you on that, let's stay focused on my question: I just want to know how someone can imply preferential treatment with numbers like that.
- I don't think that the refs were biased in favor of the Bucs. There were missed calls both ways, which happens in football. I just want to know how someone can imply preferential treatment with numbers like that.
- I don't have any other reason for writing this except to ask you: how can someone imply preferential treatment with numbers like that.
So, how about it, Brad? How can you justify implying that the refs favor the Steelers when the numbers turn out like that?
I hope I've articulated my question clearly enough for you to stay focused on it.
