    How is this possible?! I feel like we get a penalty on the opening kickoff every other game.

    Steelers lead the league in penalties this year and every year we're in the top quarter of most penalized teams.

    Josh Gordon couldn't stay off weed for 4-5 years and magically got cured in Boston. How you think it's possible? Everything is rigged in their favor.

    Their Oline coach must have some amazing magical technique that he teaches his guys because they haven't been called for holding in like three years.

    Check this out:

    https://www.footballdb.com/stats/penalties.html?yr=2018

    Steelers lead the league with 58 penalties for 528 yards. Pats have the fewest penalties = 26 for 206 yards. We more than double them.

    Clicking back through past seasons Pats are ALWAYS bottom 10 in penalties. Many years they are bottom 5 or bottom 3 even. In 2008 they had 57 penalties FOR THE WHOLE SEASON. We have them beat already 6 weeks in!

    They were 13th in least penalties per game last year. In 2016 they were 16th. So I’m not sure your last statement is true...

    Combination of supreme discipline by the cheats and constant recipient of the benefit of the doubt that other teams don't get.

    Offensively talent wise, the Steelers should be better than the Patriots this year. If Ben doesn't force things to AB, there should be someone open most of the time.

    They had at least one called that was part of an offsetting penalties play as I recall and maybe one more that was declined by the Chiefs.

    The AFC Champions for 5 of the last 7 years. The team near Boston which owns the Steelers.... and has since 2001. And most likely will continue to own the Steelers on December 16th.

    I watched the game and on the off setting penalties the Chiefs got called for defensive holding on the far side of the field that was so iffy you couldn't even really see it on the replay. The announcers had to back peddle trying to explain it.

    I do have to give them credit they don't false start,they don't jump offside, they don't have 12 guys in the huddle all of which can be fixed with some discipline.

    I wouldn't say they don't hold but however they do it it is very well concealed.

    Yeah, I would be obsessed about the team that owns the Steelers soul over the last 15 years. The team that will prevent us from reaching a Super Bowl again.

    Or you can just pretend like they don't exist.

    This goes back to last year's playoffs, when they were getting away with everything. When they finally got a penalty, the crowd cheered and even the ref cracked a smile.

    That may be true of Ben, but there are bigger reasons for the the underachievement. We saw an obvious offensive scheme change yesterday with the way the TEs were used and targeted, and it was good! That was a coaching adjustment, not a Ben decision. Glad to see it, but there needs to be a lot more coaching adjustment made on both sides of the ball and in the locker room. Unless that changes drastically and immediately, I'm in the FMTI camp. This garbage has been going on way too long.

    I watched most of last night's game and I swear that twice in the third quarter the play clock ran down to zero before the Patriots got the play off, once on Brady and another time on a punt. No call on either though.

    That always happens. The ref watches the play clock. Once it hits 0, he looks to see if the ball has been snapped and if not, he blows the whistle. Really, teams always get an extra half a second to get the play off.

    My guess is it's not exactly like you remembered it though or you saw things you wanted to see, considering the Pats didn't even punt last night

    I saw a pic on twitter showing the Patriots with a obvious hold that was never called.

    I bet holding could be called on darn near every play in every game.

    Except on the Patriots :hehehe:, they don't commit penalties according to the refs.

    The pick play that everyone is griping about is a bread and butter play for the Patriots usually in the red zone at about the 5 yard line in. They bunch receIvers and run that rub with the bigger guys slanting in and Edelman slanting towards the pylon. Never called for it either.

    I don't know which is more impressive, zero penalties or zero punts, which NE also had last night. I guess if you don't having any penalties called against you, it increases your chances of not having to punt.

    Who's griping, I was glad to see it called (and work) and hope they do it more often.
