    they started to come on in the Baltimore game but as I've said, the Baltimore tackles were allowed to false start several times which helped stop the edge rush
    Non;605857 wrote:I saw them move early a bunch of times. I'm not sure why they were allowed to do that because I haven't noticed it in other games. Oher has even had problems with it. I saw an article a few days ago about how he's had a lot of penalties this year. My point right now is only that I think the Steelers two edge rushers have been playing great the past two games and causing problems but it wasn't as easy to see in that game because of that little extra advantage Baltimore was getting.

    I think that might be the pivotal factor in this game today. If the Jets tackles do a good job against Harrison and Woodley, and contain them, I think the Jets will win. But if those two are able to get to Sanchez and force turnovers, particularly a forced fumble or two that sets up the Steelers in good field position, then I think the Steelers win.

    Non;605908 wrote:There is a conspiracy but that's not part of it. That was just poor officiating, not watching the line of scrimmage close enough.

    The bigger issue is that the NFL has ordered the officials that the late hits and helmet hit guidelines don't count against Roethlisberger. Teams are allowed to hit him any way and there's no penalty.

    Non;606035 wrote:Ben has gotten hit late about 10 times in the past three weeks and not one penalty.

    If another QB took a couple of those same shots they'd be out for the season.

    Obviously there is no link to it because the NFL will deny it but it's clear they're allowing it to be open season on him.

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...

    borderline? yes but Clark's hit was borderline and it was called

    Lowery clearly holding with the ball in the air, that's a pass interference and the ball would've been inside the 10 with more than 30 seconds left

    Overall in the NFL officiating has been absolutely a train wreck this season.
    Non;607066 wrote: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.

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

    I think that happens sometimes
    rock_knutne;607091 wrote: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.
    rock_knutne;607108 wrote:Are you fucking blind? I see you post on the Steelers threads quite often during the games, if you think that there hasn't been any missed calls or wrong calls go against Pittsburgh in just about every single game since the Harrison/Cleveland incident then you're a hater or, like I said, blind.
    Non;607119 wrote:were you referring to me?

    if so, what you said was inaccurate

    bottom line is the Jets got help at the end of the game by not having the holding called near the end zone, that was a major no call

    also there might have been a helmet hit on the last Steelers reception which would've moved the ball about five yards closer

    Steelers are still 10-4 and they're fortunate the officiating hasn't cost them more this season
    rock_knutne;607135 wrote:No, your blind because you have been watching these games (from what I see on here) and fail to recognize the rate of consitency of which these bad calls have been happening. Like I said before, standard protocol on here.
    Non;607137 wrote:that holding at the end has to be called

    plain and simple

    it can't be missed when a receiver is going for a potential GW touchdown

    you can be looking at a lot of places on the field but you have to have clear eyes on that coverage/receiver to see the holding
    LJ;607140 wrote:QCB has broken no rules.

    This thread is making me ashamed to be a Steelers fan. Absolutely pitiful
    Non;607157 wrote:People take the high road a lot of times because they don't want to be "guy complaining about the calls." I understand that. It's a better world when things all even out and you can just shake hands and say good game.

    But sometimes you have to balance that with what your eyes actually see.

    It's total bs if you're a Steelers fan and you don't think the Jets got some help at the end. The Revis play was borderline but still hands in the back. Would that be called if it was the Steelers? Well they had a borderline helmet hit and it got called and helped the Jets score a TD. The holding on Lowery that wasn't called may have been a touchdown and game winner.

    The officiating impacts the game as much as a lot of things. Offense, defense, special teams, weather conditions, etc.

    The officiating was as much a reason why the Steelers lost this game as anything.
  • LJ
    I like how you quote me on a holding that was called (#68 for the Jets tackled Keisal, Sanchez was chewing him out over it) and where I mentioned that the flag was literally falling out of the ref's pocket. They had multiple picked up flags because of it.

    In the same breath...we can talk about how the Steelers were dominated by a couple teams that our sorry ass Browns beat pretty easily, and we at least lost to the Jets at the end of overtime.
