Great win, we beat the Refs and Ravens!

I know I'm suppose to be happy they won. But I'm more pissed off I was biting my nails when I shouldn't have been. Horrible officiating.


- Classic Flacco PI to get them going when they couldn't move the ball

- PI to get them to the 1 and help them finally score

- No PI calls for the superior receiving core

- They actually called an OPI on us

- About the same amount of hold calls on make shift o-line as one of the best in the league

- The phantom hold on kickoff to pin us deep

- Nix was blocked in back on very last punt

- 8 penalties on us for 103 yards and only 5 for 25 yards on them.


Thankfully Steelers converted on almost every crucial 3rd down or they probably lose this game due to horrible officiating. Unreal.

 

63% on third down is the only way we won

 

I wasn't biting my nails at the end, the Ravens needed to go almost 80 yards to get a TD at the end to tie the game.

 

Most raven steeler games are close.

 

They can both suck it!

 

Hey Goodell - don't act like we didn't see you still dressed up in your Halloween ref costume trying to help the Rats!

 

yep, the ref's didn't call PI the same on both teams, all were really looking for is consistancy for both teams. Sometimes you have to beat the refs and the team your playing. Today was one of those games.

 

In the drivers seat for the division. Solid win.

 

If they are going to call PI, then I wish they'd call it both ways. That's all.

 

Some of the calls were bad. But we over came.

 

Don’t know what Harbaugh was thinking waiting until after the 2 minute warning to use all 3 of his timeouts. Just a horrible job of coaching with so much at stake in this game.

 

I enjoyed that.

 

This season is the 40 year anniversary of this SI mag:

In other words, this is nothing new.

 

Most NFL games are close

 

Yet, I read how he owns the Steelers and how bad Tomlin is compared to him? Hmmmm...

 

That was about the time my wife got pissed at me for yelling.

 

Officiating was completely one sided today. Great defensive effort despite the refs keeping the Ravens in the game.

 

The offensive pass interference on Brown was particularly troubling. The officials had called pass interference on the Steelers multiple times on similar plays. Both players where pushing at one another. To be consistent, they had to call nothing there or call it on the defense.

That said, Edmunds and Burnett need to do a better job turning around to find the ball. At least two of those flags were thrown because Edmunds was in position and all he had to do was turn his head.

 

Dan Fouts and Ian Eagle are not fun to listen to, I wish I could get the Steelers broadcast crew.

 

So is mine, but her strengths lie elsewhere. She can't wrap her head around waiting six hours and yelling while watching a game that ended around 4 p.m. (That's the price of having to switch from NFL Ticket to Game Pass.)

 

IDK maybe I am use to getting screwed but I didn't think the officiating was as bad as many say. First off on all of them PI's we had our guys had their pack to the ball and hands up(face guarding) and on some of them there was hand contact. Edmunds and Burnett were both guilty of doing this and look like it was their first time in coverage. Also at the end of the game not sure who it was but they had a pass break up in the endzone and that was PI and they didn't call it on us.

As for the holding omg it was bad but if they called every one the game would still be going on. IMO AV got away with a lot of holds. The one call I don't understand or like is the one where Vance almost fumbled and the Rats returned it for a TD. It was reviewed and overturned but we lost 10 seconds. I don't get it, I mean I know it is a rule but how does a bad call mean we lose time?

Anyways we won and imo won easy, we escaped an injury to Ben, the oline continues to look solid as does Conner. We now have some tough games but at least we own our division.

 

I think its a toss up between the Pats and the Ravens games for most unbalanced calls and just bad calls against us.
Sick of the Flacco and Brady floating bombs that get the PI... Ben rarely gets those calls even when AB gets molested.
