They got hosed on that call.

Abe Sargent · 01-08-2012, 06:50 PM

Lioans Saints, yeah.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 06:50 PM

Perfect hit, of course the Steelers would think it wasn't legal

bulletsponge · 01-08-2012, 06:51 PM

yep, lateral. refs always miss laterals that are incomplete. happens all the time, they are live balls and they blow the damn whistle

kingfc22 · 01-08-2012, 06:51 PM

Harrison should take a look at that hit on how to play within the rules.

cuervo72 · 01-08-2012, 06:51 PM

In fairness, I think the Line Judge has to keenly watch the left fielder on that play.

What should have been Denver 1st and 10 inside the 20 is a Steelers drive. Thanks Mr. Idiot.

Senator · 01-08-2012, 06:52 PM

14 point swing?

EagleFan · 01-08-2012, 06:52 PM

Looks like it's time for the Steelers' rules to come into play...

Nothing, refs actually made a mistake on that call in the other game. I mean both mistakes was blowing the whistle, but according to the rule since the whistle blow possession should not change,

Abe Sargent · 01-08-2012, 06:54 PM

Lions recovered fumble that was blown dead as an incomplete pass when QB was hit with no one in front. Would have been seven points. They still got the ball, did nothing with it, and punted.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 06:56 PM

The ref is looking right down the line on that call, even at full speed how can you not see that his elbow hits with the ball inside the goal line?

Senator · 01-08-2012, 06:56 PM

So many games the refs make it about them. My 5 year son just asked me if referees can be kicked out of a game for bad play just like a player? not a bad idea.

MizzouRah · 01-08-2012, 06:57 PM

That was a horrible call, clearly a fumble (the backwards pass). Now the Steelers climb back into the game.

If they were full time...

Senator · 01-08-2012, 06:58 PM

and there is the gift swing

Danny · 01-08-2012, 06:58 PM

Hmmm, wasnt a fumble. That was the right call

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 06:58 PM

Yeah, Phil, you think maybe a LITTLE fortunate?

+1. The refs made the correct ruling. It's the rule that's stupid.

Not exactly. It wasn't a fumble, but it wasn't a TD either. Of course they should have called it a fumble to make up for the one they decided to blow dead on the other side of the field.

I meant the eventual ruling was correct

Yes that call was, not the backwards pass fumble.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:03 PM

Well, call is in the books. Up to the Broncos offense to get more points on the board and the defense to regroup on the sideline. They were royally screwed, but it is what it is.

I dont think anyone disagrees with you there, I thought you meant the second play

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:04 PM

Phil, he doesn't have the right to run through the WR to get the ball, even if he's looking at it.

Senator · 01-08-2012, 07:05 PM

Make up calls ref?

Yes TroyF - this happens to anyone who plays or coaches football long enough. Overcome it!

Honestly believe the 'all scoring plays reviewed' thing gets used as a crutch a lot. Better for him to call TD and have it corrected on review than err on missing the TD, if it is one. Sad, but best option for the official.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:07 PM

Good throw away. Love the call on first down though, would like to see that more.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:07 PM

See, I love the throw on first down, run on second down so much better. Things are so much more freed up when they do it that way.

Suburban Rhythm · 01-08-2012, 07:08 PM

Someone explain the difference between PI not called in 1st quarter when ABrown was mugged, and was called here?

There was none. The refs have sucked all day. You may remember a horrific call against the Broncos a couple of minutes ago, right?

Senator · 01-08-2012, 07:09 PM

can't

MrBug708 · 01-08-2012, 07:10 PM

10 point swing after the Broncos defense was shredded on that drive

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:12 PM

Tebow's biggest passing day of the year was 236 on the Bears. He's at 204 heading into the fourth quarter against the Steelers. Go figure.

If I'm Clark, I'm holding out for a new contract.

Danny · 01-08-2012, 07:13 PM

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:14 PM

Ouch. That's the exact type of play I've wanted to see Denver run more of this year. No idea why screens haven't been in play more this year.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:14 PM

Ok, been hard on Fox, but I won't complain about a simple draw here.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:15 PM

Perfect kick, up 10

Senator · 01-08-2012, 07:16 PM

I wonder if Josh McDaniels going back to Patriots for the upcoming game is destiny waving its wand?

rowech · 01-08-2012, 07:16 PM

I'm shocked this game has played out this way. Not so much that Denver is leading but they've been fairly convincing in doing so.

k0ruptr · 01-08-2012, 07:18 PM

I hope Tebow doesn't get Tebowed by the Steelers

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:19 PM

Always hate when they show a stat like they just showed. "25 rush yards, 6 pass yards on drive."

It doesn't take into account a 20 yard PI penalty on a pass play that allowed them to move the ball.

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:21 PM

OK defense, get your heads out of your asses. Need the pass rush to step up.

k0ruptr · 01-08-2012, 07:22 PM

ugh defense.

Senator · 01-08-2012, 07:23 PM

Stem the LB's and get some pressure!

ColtCrazy · 01-08-2012, 07:23 PM

A TD here and I could totally see the Steelers winning this game.

Senator · 01-08-2012, 07:24 PM

20 never was going to be enough

TroyF · 01-08-2012, 07:24 PM

Like I said earlier. There is no way this game is close to over at ten points. The Denver D has been very inconsistent. The Denver O can go into a shell. This isn't over, even if they kick a FG.
