3rivers Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 what other games would you rank the refs being as bad or worse that you remember. The coin toss was the standard. 12 men on the field debacle is HM, but this game had several important non calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert44 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Does not matter after the bad call we were up 23 -7 at half at home and receiving the second half kick off and lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeler Hitman Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I don' like to make excuses because you can usually find several times throughout a game that if you made the plays, you would still win. I am not dismissing the momentum shifts and changes that several poor calls helped to impact. As a fan or even if I were a coach I would point out the miscues that the team could control. Here's a few: 1. Big Ben's horrible pass to a wide open Justin Hunter. Oh wait, that was James Washington's fault for not diving. 2. Big Ben's lob pass that was intercepted in the red zone and changed momentum and again left points on the field and off of the score board. We gun-sling-ed points off the board. 3. Sean Davis' untimely time to break up a pass. You are supposed to hit the guy with the other color jersey. That gets deflected and instead of a sure fire turnover results in a TD for them. 4. Whatever happened to establishing the run? Connor and company can carry the ball on the ground a lot more than he has the past three games which have resulted in a 1-2 record. Shades of 2005 when the Steelers ended up 7 - 5 and then had to run the table to earn a wild card spot. It ended well, but we are a much better offense than we were then. 5. For the love of baby Jesus! Can we run a special teams play without getting a holding penalty? It seems that we had one every punt return or KO return. 6. What happened to the killer instinct and time possessing drives in the second half? 7. You probably want to switch Mike Hilton or another DB to try to cover Keenen Allen. Hey is killing us! 8. Adjustments! They made them and we didn't seem to or if we did, they didn't work. That is almost as many things as we could have changed or impacted as they made bad calls!

Hey is killing us! Or, you know just a leave a DB on him. Hilton is better suited than Bostic and Fort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was saying. They did fairly well when a DB was on Allen, but when a LB was covering him, he killed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB on 13 was a FAIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
