    My problem with it is picking up the flag. I would have been fine winning on a bad call, plenty went uncalled against them.

    They would've still been backed up at the end, Ben still would've had to throw the ball at the end, and they got sacked twice.

    Yes, you can. I remember the Dolphins doing it once 40 years ago. No lie, like 1980 when Shula was the coach.

    And Ben didn't have time on either play.

    Plus was the ball tipped? If so, no PI.

    Thought this game would be a joke. The D choked in the end. But what a great comeback. Need to get Watt, Haden and Fitz back.

    Well there’s the problem though, on an earlier drive the Chargers scored a TD they called a hold that “didn’t really impede the receiver” on a sack play that was well away from the play side.

    They were still going to come out throwing, the running game did nothing all night.

    I just hope they didn't lose Johnson again given the way he pulled up lame on that last third down.

    You don't know that...Just like I don't know they wouldn't have been. They play calling would have been different...., or let's split the difference...the play calling could have been different....instead of try 2 get a big play and score a td ....You just need 2 get close enough for Boz

    That is why I say the officials screwed the Steelers many times tonight. They let the Chargers get away with calls for which they flagged the Steelers.

    I get you… but wishing injury on a player just doesn’t look good. It’s not Herbert’s fault our D sucks. Ravens aren’t winning anything this year. Well I hope not lol

    True, but it just changes the play calling when you only need 40 yards instead of 75.

    The AFC is such a crap shoot right now I wouldn't be shocked if they come out of it.

    The defense absolutely stunk it up most of the night,but they will get healthy and be better......This o-line should be the real concern. They got no one to save them. Can't stay healthy, can't run block,can't pass block and they get bullied every game..Ben had no shot that last drive

    The Chargers were stacking the box it seemed, and once the Steelers fell behind they weren't going to stick with the run.

    Last drive the Chargers literally had 4 men in the box, playing prevent, we go five wide and get sacked twice.

    :facepalm:

    I'd have to rewatch to be sure, but they didn't even blitz on either of those sacks did they?

    I was talking about earlier in the game, not the last drive.

    So you think they were going to run the ball, instead of throwing it on the last drive, the OL didn't hold up the last drive.
