    Most penalized officials called 2 penalties for 4 yards on the Patriots. They stalled two of our drives with phantom calls they never showed again. The first one got AB killed.

    Then the touchdown.

    I'm done giving a ****. Usually watch tnf, mnf, snf, games at 1 and 4. I'll watch the Steelers to see how this season ends. But when they hand the Patriots another tainted ring and tie us. I'm out. Steelers fans should boycott this bull****.

    How about blatant holding all game long and blatant DPIs and defensive holding NEVER called?

    They even tried to take away our first TD, but decided they couldn't sell a BS call.

    This game was in the bag from the beginning. They didn't even try to hide it.

    And let's not forget that not only should Gronk still be under suspension, he should be in JAIL! But God forbid the Pats can't have him for this game.

    It’s disgusting to think they are gonna cheat their way to another SB. The fixed NFL can go to hell.

    Only thing to root for now is a Tom Shady injury

    I'm pissed don't get me wrong but it's not the end of my fandom.

    I think that we can get back at them in NE this time with a healthy AB back in the line up.

    Have to fix the Gronk connection though.

    Only works in numbers. We have the most fans of any team.

    Spread was +2.5 Patriots. Funny how that works right? NFL has become a joke fixing games to make the most money.

    That one handed catch made by Bryant was because his left arm was being held the entire time. What choice did he have lol

    Still a fan but I'm done watching any game not the Steelers.

    You got them winning in NE? Not happening. Only chance was having them being the 3rd seed and playing in wildcard. They have never played in wildcard in any of their super bowl runs. 1-4 in last 5 playoff games on the road.

    It's clear as day who the NFL wants and will win the Super Bowl this year.

    Look I don't blame you. This stuff is getting out of control. All I'm saying is that boycotting all games except Steelers games isn't going to work and it's not really a boycott.

    I've quit watching non steeler games years ago. I watched 1 non steeler game this year. Dolphins vs Patriots on Monday. I was traveling for work. had nothing to do but sit in a bar and watch...and I knew it could impact the steelers. Last year I'm guessing I watched 1 other game. plus half of the SB. Fans like me are not uncommon and they do make a dent in the ratings. But you are correct it's not really boycotting.

    I do think that the casual fan and the fans of the 15 or so other teams that never compete...they will quit watching because the game lacks integrity. This will hurt ratings. Fixing a game like this probably brings alot of free advertising... all the talk tomorrow will be how the steelers got fu**ED. That's better for the NFL then just letting the steelers win HFA. Most fans are sick of NE and Pittsburgh. Im' guessing there's an official on the take in this one. simple as that.

    None of it matters I guess, the replay rule is very clear: if the call is a TD, there has to be indisputable evidence that the ball hit the ground. There was no video filmed at Heinz field today that showed the ball actually hitting the ground on the play in question. Sadly, there are no checks and balances to ensure the league is not scripting games. They came out this week and threatened severe discipline for touching or disparaging the referees. They knew the fix was n today and knew they would need to give NE an assist to get them the win.

    Yeah definitely not boycotting if you continue to watch certain games.
    Like saying your going to quick drinking except on the weekends. I'll admit I don't have enough willpower to quit watching the Steelers. It's too big a part of my life.

    Our Safety dropped a game winner.Our QB threatened a spike on 3rd down. Our QB forced a throw to a man 1 on 4 . The TE must dive and turn in away the ball can't touch the ground .

    Brady had a bad game and the Pats still win. We can not beat them we will need another Team to beat them for us .

    This is the biggest point right here. Has to be conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field yet I've seen no pic or video that shows his right hand not under the ball.

    This is me too. I don’t watch the NFL anymore other than Steelers games. Not since roger started screwing the game up. I don’t spend money on NFL merchandise either. Won’t till roger is gone. Looks like it’s another 5 years without my money. And I’m ok with it.

    Nobody is a bigger Steelers fan than me and today was tough but I can't get behind any conspiracy that the NFL wants the Patriots to win. Roger Goodell spent millions upon millions of dollars to keep Brady out last season. The last thing the NFL wants to the Patriots to win esp at the expense of our Steelers Who are NFL Royalty.
