    There were a couple missed calls, but that isn't why we lost.

    There was a lot of holding. But honestly, if the zebras ain't calling it fair then you got to up your ****. They didn't run for a couple hundred because of holding. Well maybe they did, because our boys were holding out and not doing their damn job. Coaches too. JH sets the edge always has wouldn't have hurt to utilize him a bit to stymie that run some. Oh well ry again next week

    Yes I was screaming at the TV on the long run in OT. Haden was hauled down in the open field just as Howard broke to the outside. Thought for sure that it was going to be called back. But not the reason for the loss. This "High Powered" offense that has yet to muster 30pts is the biggest.

    Which is ironic. You don't have to hold Burns. He can't tackle anyway.

    I swear, it looked like Burns was hiding behind Chickillo, who was being blocked, on one of the Bears' runs.

    That said, he was held on the touchdown and it was an inexcusable no-call.

    The hold on Cohen's big run was the real killer. If the refs get that one right, the Bears are far enough behind the sticks that they would have had to let Glennon throw, which was the Steelers' only real shot in overtime. The Steelers certainly deserved to lose, but the refs screwed them in the overtime.

    You can put the blame on Chickillo all you want, and he certainly earned it by getting pushed around on running plays all game long, but Shazier blew it on that play. He overpursued to his left, taking himself out of the play and allowing Howard to get inside the 10 untouched.

    None of them could tackle for **** today. Not the refs' fault they can't handle one of the basic fundamentals of football.

    The play at ILB was pretty bad all day. I guess that almost goes without saying when you give up a few hundred on the ground

    Yes, Haden was tackled on the big run in OT and Burns was held/carried into the 5th row.
