Nice how we can't challenge the officials in the last 2 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be said for the Qb if he is calling the play. Either way, we need to play 60 minutes , no less. Remember, we gat paid by the hour don't we?

So we got a loss due to refs failing us, no problem. When we play them in the playoffs, we will win! I wanted to win RD2 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute travesty. I'm probably done watching until the postseason tbh, The NFL is trying to lose viewers at this point. I feel you. And it bothers me that they seem to have followed the "completing the catch through going to the ground" to the letter of the law, and at the same time not following the "Indisputable video evidence required to overturn the call on the field" to the letter of the law. But to me if I know at least part of the ball touched the ground while he "bobbled" it on the goal line then its hard for me. It comes down to them not having a good angle of it more than whether or not it actually happened in the instance imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 that's a catch if james does't reach for the TD.. since he was in position to reach tells me he had the ball and fumbled in his 2nd move lol they gotta change this rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 I went on the web, and this is a busy topic right now. This might even make it into next weeks pregame shows, and if so, do you think that enough fan disgust will force a rule change due to this play? It's not just steeler fans that are complaining so FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubs10 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looking back on the highlights of the game, I think what bothers me most is the Steelers leaving Gronk in single coverage on the 2 point conversion. He killed them the entire way down the field, and then on the Patriots only chance to make it a 3 point game instead of a 1 or 2 point game they put Sean Davis in one-on-one coverage with Gronk and ask him to jam him. At least 90% of safeties are going to fail in that situation and ours aren't even good. And Gronk easily beat the jam and easily caught the fade and the Pats made it a 3 point game. If they had used any common sense at all in defending the two point conversion they could have at least made it tougher for them to get it. Which would have let Bos clean up with another walk-off.

His left hand could have caused the ball to move. They called it a TD live so to overturn it they need proof, which they do not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. While I claim the insanity is gone, there are some improvements that are o be made. If they have 2 try to cover Gronk, it doesn't guarantee Brady can't find someone else to score, but at least it isn't as predictable. Have a LB slow him down at the line could be a way, but if Brady has time then all is a fail. Not easy beating the champs, but it can happen. They aren't the team from years ago from what I have watched (and we still lost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Overall I wanna get this game on a positive point. We have been dismantled by this team a lot in the past. This game was ours even prior to the reverse Call. This team is resilient, Would’ve been better to sweep them this year. I hope the if rematch happens, this game gave them the know-how and the confidence that they can win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before all the BS went down, I was thinking how "the nfl was the winner today" as in the fans watching. Then the BS happened, and the league still needs some work doesn't it. Seems as though it's best to win by quite a bit just in case the refs decide to be a factor. Of course they are not challengeable during the 2 minute warning for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
