    You can thank the Raiders and the "Holy Roller" play

    I agree that the ball shouldn't have gone back to the Packers. They had their chance to score and failed. The Steelers should had retained possession of the ball and been penalized yardage half the distance to the goal.

    I agree, but for whatever reason that's not how the rule is written. There needs to be a sub-section in that rule to take into account situations where it was 4th down and the live ball was put on the ground.

    I don't believe the games are rigged either (from a conspiracy standpoint). However, I do know that Refs are just as human as us and are surely capable of coming up with a questionable call from time to time. Its just human nature. Also, at least now I know where you stand because you explained yourself rather than just post a sarcastic comment.

    Its already being said that after today this rule will most likely change in the future.

    Clark retained possession. We should've retained possession on a fumble or live ball out of bounds period! I don't blame him him for the flip, had willie been ready, it's 7 pts the other way, but a flag thrown before any b.s. Occurred would've nullified it.

    I don't think games are rigged. Though, I don't see how it's so hard to believe a ref would try to sway the outcome of a game. Refs are human. Humans have been known to cheat, lie, and steal from time to time. It's not unheard of for referees to try to fix the outcome of games for gamblers. It's happened before.

    It's possible, but extremely rare. I just don't see how anyone can even watch a game if they believe it's fixed. Why bother? What I take issue with is people saying Goodell is fixing the games. That's ridiculous. No commissioner of any pro sport is going to fix a game. There's too much to lose and nothing to gain

    I swear there is no fan base, in the world, in any sport, that *****es more about officiating AFTER A WIN than Steeler fans.

    Call Seahawks fans whiners, call Cowboys fans Cryboys, then look in the mirror.

    "It's happened before" Indeed it has. To think the NFL is in on a conspiracy is downright absurd -but to just assume that all refs are honest would be equally as absurd.

    That's right Adolf Goodell is so honest that he would never fix games....or burn evidence.

    Oh no, A brownies fan infiltrating!
    All games we lose are rigged against us!

    Seriously, how can someone not be steaming mad, when the refs blow a call in 2, or 3, different ways?
    Even counting the 'we didn't notice Pittsburgh gained possession' call, the rule needs to be fixed, if a team retains possession after a blocked FG, in that circumstance.

    Please, back to your home team's message board, that situation was atrocious.

    The game is not rigged. It is just heavily slanted in favor of the offense and to deny that would be as dumb as to deny gravity.

    Yeah. I just watched it a few weeks ago in Imax 3d and I HIGHLY HIIIIIIGHLY recommend everyone else does the same. I didn't until then though.

    i want to make sure i understood your whining-about-whining post right...

    because the Steelers won the game, the blown call earlier in the game should never ever be discussed AND anyone who has even the slightest gripe with it is being unreasonable and childish.

    did i get that right, Lord AFan?

    I don't know that it's heavily slanted toward the offense, I think some just interpret the newer safety rules as favoring the offense , but they have took away some offensive things as well. A couple that come to mind are the push out on a receiver rule and a RB not being able to lead with his helmet in the open field.

    That ref is a male prostitute. I've seen him behind the cheeseburger joint offering "parties" for cheeseburgers. It's well known.

    Maybe it's a rule from that old Raiders play against San Diego when they batted the ball forward and got a TD.

    Shocker, it's even worse on the Facebook page. I can guarantee that it would be insanity if the Steelers had lost after that call on the FG!
