New rule in play for the horse collar... it's legit now, but not last year.

The Dude

I don’t get how when this happens to anyone else the national media acts like they are terrified to say anything about the officiating yet when it happens to us it turns into a national scandal. Yea we got a few breaks but the officiating wasn’t nearly as bad as the Dallas game or the Falcons game last year when a ref used to play for the Falcons. It’s part of the game. At the end of the day the Steelers had every chance to win the game.
Now we are going to get some ****ty make up calls. And it’s not like they didn’t have any calls go their way.

Halo

I couldn't agree more.
In Dallas we saw blatant calls and almost lost AK on a head to head that wasn't called. But hey, we lost. We turned around and won the next 2 on the road.

Many in the Media and Steeler fans do not want to own the terrible fake punt fail, or when Rankins popped the ball out of Juju's hands forcing a fumble, or the earlier fumble, or the end of the 2nd quarter when the Saints marched down in 2 plays and scored a field goal, or the fact that the Steelers took the ball first instead of deferring to the 2nd half at coin toss, OR the fact that Steelers LOST to the Broncos AND the Raiders down the stretch! LMAO. Come on man, the Raiders?

I'll give the Steelers credit, they gave their best, but it wasn't enough. We scored 31 points on some team yesterday, and no one is giving the Saints credit for that.

We played 3 desperate teams in a row down the stretch, on the road back to back and went 2-1, and the only loss was 13-10 to a team we can definitely beat. Steelers had no business being desperate in the game yesterday. They had their division and playoff right in front of them at 7 and 2 and then they lost 4 of the next 5 games.

I have no sympathy for them.

Blandino commented on the horse collar call, 'the name plate or any area high above the collar that causes the player to buckle/collapse backwards is considered a horse-collar'..


The call was correct, the rule is bullsh1t.

The years and years of bad calls against the saints because we were terrible it’s unimaginable now we’re the good team and there giving us props on calls is deserving to me we earned respect this year the schedule the road of beast teams we plowed over ;ramsfan and all can kiss this asre

Remember these Rams fans are watching from outside trying to get in

They don’t even have home field when they are at home

Yep
Constantly causing turn overs is definitely luck and not good play.

I liked when the NFL front office made a Goodell phone call down to the zebras.

Dial up a drive stopping holding call - twice at the end
