Can we stop with the "rigged" loser talk?

    The players are not acting ,they are playing for real,but the NFL thru its phony refs, and NY studio replay crap control the outcomes, they let certain things slide for the teams they want,the Steelers for example area bigger draw in ratings than the Bengals, that why we always beat them somehow, even though as a Steeler fan sometimes I question how,last year for example during Chiefs playoffs, the 2 pt conversion they got was turned back because of a holding call, that was ticky taki but we don't question it cuz we are steeler fans, but if they tied and then went on to beat us, a Chiefs vs Patriots afc matchup isn't as big of a draw as a steelers vs patriots is, this year for example the AFC is pretty weak, they could be foreshadowing ROUND 2 of these teams for a bigger audience in January, its all about the Benjis man, just look at boxing Marryweather vs Mcgreggor that wasn't a fight it was a media frenzy about them making money

    This is literally every sport. It’s completely up to interpretation.

    Missed holding is the biggest pain in the ass for us this season, but there is nothing you can do about it.

    There IS something we can do about that stupid overturned call, and it’s for the fan base and analysts to fight against and say it needs to change, which is what we are doing, and I think that they have to change it after this game.

    Such a big and amazing game ruined because of a bad call, and honestly you can tell everybody is pissed besides patriots fans and steeler haters.

    Both that couldn't be ignored. Otherwise, they had blinders on.

    The refs just used a piece of folded paper to measure for a 4th down conversion.
    Dallas at Raiders.
    How incredibly unprofessional

    The ball was so close to the first down marker, ref used a folded paper to slide between the ball and the marker.
    The paper bent and the ball moved.

    I’m actually less annoyed by the TD overturning than the PI on the fake spike.

    It’s not about the game being rigged, it’s about the refs consistency. The rules don’t help in that respect. And having New York intervene hasn’t helped anything.

    Yep, not rigged. Rigged means favoring some at the expense of others. NFL just has a stupid rule that needs some common sense fix because it is hurting the game.

    Not so long ago that was a TD no questions ask, but under the new bs rules I agree with the call. Is the system rigged, c'mon, there's way to much money involved thru Vegas for it not to be.
    Who knows how many refs had $$$ slid under the table to help on the odds game.
    Next up on to Houston.

    Don't you ever get tired of taking the high road? Why do we have to just " suck it up" when it come down to these injustices against our team?! Week in and week out. Even if we win...we not only have to battle the opponent ,but the officials as well. You see it !! So, we are not crying as losers...we're crying out for justice, fairness, and a chance for equality! We are blantantly disrespected by the league...every week. And all we do as steelersnation, ownership, coaches, and players...is take it....deal with it....stand by idolly and hope it gets better or we catch a break. This is sad, that steelersnation have bowed down. Not Only to the cheating patriots but the cheating refs and the league as well.

    Yup it's rigged.

    How else can you explain the Steelers going 20-3 over the last season and a half? That couldn't happen on its own! Outside forces are involved.

    You mean to tell me they won all those games this year on last second FGs wasn't a setup?
    Calling all those penalties on Cincy wasn't a fix?


    Funny thing, how the game is only rigged when you lose.

    Not rigged. But 2 penalties for a total of 4 yards?
