    To stop any conspiracy theories the refs cheated, The game is fixed etc. players of opposing teams have to stop Brady and the Patroots they don't they just idolize them wishing they were like them. You don't have to be a Superbowl contender to beat the Pats you just have to have more heart and a better game plan. A Weak division year in and year out every now and then a team catches a break but the Pats own that division thus granted a playoff spot every year and until Brady retires it' not going to change period.

    We did but had the game stolen from us for multiple reasons.

    Godspeed to anybody who wants to boycott over a bad call. Get over it. Steelers got ripped off and so do other teams. Don't act like the Steelers are the only victims. Same thing for those who boycott over the kneeling. Idiots. Morons.

    In a vacuum? Nothing... But it will save me a lot of anguish from watching the referees decide the fate of games all across the league, over and over... but the bigger picture is continued ratings drop for NFL games. If more people stood up for their convictions and stopped watching (as they say they will), then maybe the NFL would feel it in their wallets... it's not just the Steelers, of course not, it's a widespread issue.

    But you just said it yourself...we beat ourselves, the Patriots did not. I disagree and think we can beat them. I actually think had it not been for a couple of miscues, we would have beat them by two scores.

    And I guess I don't understand calling people names because they are offended by players kneeling. Everyone is welcome to their opinion on the subject, but I don't believe their convictions make them a idiot just because it doesn't bother you! Personally, I don't care one way or another, but having served this country in combat, I can certainly understand why someone who has sacrificed a limb my take kneeling personally.

    Yes we could have won and failed . I don't expect them to play better in their house .I don't expect the Pats to not be ready for man coverage next time. Hogan will also make a huge difference next game .

    Which Coaching staff and QB will learn more and be better prepared ? The Pats and Brady for sure .I still hope we can beat them i just don't expect it.

    I applaud anyone who wants to boycott this **** show called the NFL. If this league still has to explain to the players, coaches, fans and commentators what a catch is, then it is not worth watching!
    Not to mention having the luxury of either including or excluding the "football move" rule to fit the outcome of a game!
    There is a reason the NFL surrendered the tax exempt status.. and it is not just to hide salaries. The NFL is NOT good and honest multi billion dollar industry that puts integrity above profits.

    So yes if you are pissed off and not going to take this **** anymore , I say boycott this garbage league. I did a long time ago.
    As for the rest of you who are accepting this crap...just get inline, make excuses for the league and make sure you pay daddy Goodells bloated salary while your team gets screwed over by lawyer-esque type rules.

    I'm pissed as well. But it doesn't compare to how I felt when Tim Tebow hit Demariyus Thomas against Ike Taylor in that playoff game. I actually sunk to the floor in disbelief. "Timmy Tebow"!!!:facepalm:

    I have only watched part of a game since the kneeling bs all season until last night. First time I missed a Ratbird/Steeler game in over 10 yrs. My son played the guilt trip on me about always going to a game and we went to the Titan game. 1st time since 05 that I wasnt excited about going. Ive been a fan for 40 yrs, from roughly June to Feb all I talk is Steelers. 90% of my winter clothes have Steelers on them. I talk so much smack during this time it is unreal. This year has been tough. I have been quiet, my friends have been quiet. There is no smack talk going on. I am struggling to be honest, it is my stress relief from a stressful job; imagine that. lol But I was starting to adjust until last night. I have been pissed all day long about the NFL all over again.
    But I have to face the fact that I cant quit but for so long. I bleed black and gold. :shrug::herewego:

    Wait, there's non Patriots fans that actually fell for that? Godell, Kraft, and Brady are all friends. They stirred up some fake controversy to throw people off. They can't win all those tainted Championships without something then everybody would know they were in bed.

    Sunday night is a perfect example. A call 75% of the public would accept and they side with the 25% to give the Patriots to win. If you really think Godell hates the Pats then the Steelers win that game. Patriots are 3rd seed and in wildcard round where they have never started and made a Super Bowl. 1-4 in last 5 road playoff games. Delusional. Godell, Kraft, and Brady are all friends.

    I'm sorry, but I have to question the mental stability of someone who believes this type of nonsense.

    Some of us older fans remember the Renfro TD blown call in the 1979 playoff game between the Steelers and Oilers. It can work both ways.

    You got a link to that revelation? I see a lot of things that were complained about after the game, (like not throwing a flag on the celebration after the TD), but nothing about the pass to end the game that I recall.....

    Or, to take one from reality, not flagging Fitzgerald for running out of bounds and even BEHIND SOME OF HIS TEAMMATES ON THE SIDELINE for some 40 yards before jumping on and tackling Harrison.

    Like the 2 point conversion where Gronk just shoved Davis to the side. That’s why he was SOOOO wide open. Never mind the game ending pick where their corner was hanging on Rodgers back and got his hand in to deflect the ball.

    It’s a REALLY bad look for the NFL. The National Fraudulent League is what I call it. I’m like a lot of people I’ll just watch how the Steelers do the heck with the fixed league. This had to be Goodell making up to Craft for suspending Brady for 4 games.
