    Refs lost this game for the Steelers. No doubt about it.

    It's a conspiracy!!!The NFL is out to get the Steelers every week. If you don't believe it ask a Steeler fan.

    Absolutely.

    But, I think even you can agree there was a missed PI call towards the end there where the Jets player held the jersey of the receiver. No league conspiracy just a ref(s) that missed an important call. It happens sometimes and it's always disappointing. But that's why you have to try to put yourself in positions where one blown call isn't going to make that huge of an impact. Doesn't excuse the no call but it you winning hinges on perfect officiating then you're playing russian roulette.

    I never believed in the conspiracy stuff before but I think there has been a clear trend of poor officiating against the Steelers. They get called for every borderline hit on the helmet and never get one called when their receivers get hit. Ben has had about 20 late hits and not one penalty. And then at the end of this game clear holding downfield with the game on the line. That has to be a penalty I don't care what team you root for.

    In fact, I remember HB1137 complaining about officiating in Atlanta's OT loss to Pittsburgh back at the beginning of the season.

    Apparently it's okay for others to do it but not Steeler fans.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Find the thread and see what I said. And even if i did, thats 1 game. Every single game this year the entire Steelers game thread is nothing but complaining about the refs being out to get you

    Who said that?

    Definitely some missed calls throughout the game.

    Not as far as real game impacting decisions no, but they are out to get them on fines and a bit on personal fouls. And it does seem like they forget that Big Ben is a QB because of his size and let more go on him then they do on other QBs.

    Just because one fan declares "conspiracy" doesn't speak for the entire fan base. C'mon....you're smarter than that.

A no call on the last hold in the endzone that prevented Sanders from scoring the game winning touchdown. It just gets old every week that the Steelers are flagged for everything but nobody else it. Heath Miller gets destroyed no flag....Ben gets his nose broke no flag....But Braylon Edwards is jumping in the air for the ball and the Steelers defender his hit in the chest = 15 yards...

    Ain't it terrible?

    I wouldn't say they lost it for them but they kept them from having an opportunity to win. It's gotten blatantly bad and as I said before, if this would happen to the other fanbases on here they'd be in an uproar and it would be OK in their eyes.

    I know it's hard, but try to use some logic. Why would the NFL conspire against one of the most popular teams in the league? Please make sense.

    That's because it HAS been happening every single game.

    I don't believe in it either but, the refs and the league have been a bit harsh on the Steelers this year.

    It doesn't make sense why but the officiating has been so poor that it's become an issue. Usually I would agree with everyone who says it evens out and all that stuff but it's been terrible for about a five-game stretch.

    Yes. It's OK. They assume we aren't a bunch of pussies here. That they're wrong in your case doesn't change that.

    Or, if their special teams don't lay an egg on the opening kickoff they win...right?

    in this game I think the refs wanted the Jets to win because they had lost a couple so they let them get away with stuff at the end

    if the Steelers needed to win more it may have been the other way

    I think that happens sometimes

    Don't you understand, IT'S THE STEELERS. The whole league is out to get them.

    That's exactly why, because they are the most popular team in the league and it's been very easy to make an example out of them.

    Again, I don't give a shit what you or any one else thinks but it's happened every week since Harrison's hits against Cleveland, at some point thinking it's a coincidence gets thrown out the window.
