The justification is that it worked. The goal was to get the Steelers the ball in better field position than they were likely to get taking the...
That is all the more reason why it was a mistake for him to try to use a stiff arm rather than keeping both hands on the ball.
They are two games behind the Ravens with a head-to-head loss. Even a weak division is probably going to take nine games to win. Do you see a team...
You stuffed a lot of wrong into that first paragraph. The moment the defense forced a three-and-out, the decision had worked. The Steelers got the...
Watt is the best player on that roster and the ball took an odd bounce. Maybe Hodges could have done a better job bailing out his teammate, but...
Rhetorical techniques confuse you, don’t they? I was engaging in a bit of hyperbole to make a point, but it was a devastating loss in terms of the...
You can't stiff arm a defender who is that close. He could see how close Humphrey was to him. He needs to hang on to the ball there. It is both a...
The ball was all the way out of the end zone before the whistle blew. Perhaps the whistle should have been blown sooner, but it wasn't. It wasn't...
Now go back and read my post and try to understand it better, because you failed miserably the first time. I didn't say you aren't fan. I'm just...
The Ravens did that only once all day, the touchdown drive that ended early in the second quarter. They had also turned it over three times and...
Defending that one decision doesn't mean I'm defending Tomlin. I have been saying he should be fired since the loss to the Raiders last season....
That is a good point. Samuels should have been told to throw the ball away if anything goes wrong. There is no way he should have been given the...
Even if you didn't see the game, how does a Steelers fan not know Smith-Schuster's fumble ended it? The calls to bench Smith-Schuster are silly,...
It's tough to say what the deal is with Rudolph at this point, though I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see him miss a game with the...
I can. It wasn't extra effort that caused the fumble. It was failing to protect it properly. You have to know the situation. He already had the...
It says the Ravens defended it extremely well, so they used it less as the game went on.
They held the Ravens to a long field goal despite a terrible roughing the passer call. I'm not thrilled with the defense's performance, but I have...
He only had one hand on the ball. Instead of protecting it with the defender right there, he went for the stiff arm. He tried to do too much on...
That's what I thought happened, too.
Of all the things that led to the Steelers' loss today, none was more significant than Smith-Schuster's fumble. All he has to do is protect the...
