Steelers at Ravens Game Comments & Bedwetting

[CKSteeler]

"None of you asshats can define what a catch is or isn't."

This isn't postmodernism. He had control and both feet down.

If that isn't a TD than neither is Santonio Holmes in the SB.

Psst Dan, you boomer fuck. I'm agreeing with you.

None of you asshats can define what a catch is or isn't.

Not an insult to the asshats of Steelerfury. Just a note that it's fucking impossible to know what they're going to rule based on something like the rulebook itself.

That’s the point of the rule
Fully open to manipulation

This and about a dozen other backbreaking judgement calls they've been given.

Sorry to say it but Rats got robbed on the TD

Sometimes you need a little luck to win

Isiah Luckily?

[anpsteel]

Too bad the NFL can't ignore the AFCN the way college ignored the ACC championship.

None of these teams should be in the playoffs.

I agree that should have been a td

Two feet and control

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Worst call since Dez Bryant

Sorry to say it but Rats got robbed on the TD

If he had held the ball just a bit longer but it was slipping before the 3rd step / football move. Unless you consider the fumble a football move and in that case it would have been Steelers ball with the obvious recovery.

You don’t consider a WR receiver extending his arms to max distance from the defender a football move? That is as quintessential a football move as an RB sticking out his non carrying arm to stiffarm…aka the Heisman move.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Football move never meant "third leg"

Unless it involves Charles Haley

[Texas Black & Gold]

There is no rule that you need to get three feet down in EZ … that’s what they are selling in post game now

I think they are trying to say is it must survive to be a catch.

[TTP]

Haha, the Bears just lost a completion because the receiver dropped the ball by not getting the 3rd foot down or making a football move. They are in on the cover up.

[stillthere]

Likely’s no-catch just as awful as the Jesse James’ no-catch call!

Not sure why a football move is required in the end zone
A runner scores the second ball touched the line
A wr that catches and toe taps in EZ scores
When his feet came down it was a TD

Not if he doesn't possess it or finish with a 3rd step or perform a football move (like tucking the ball away) the ball was moving before his third step took place. It was pure luck but it is what the rules say. We should have lost the game but we did not.

Bungs and Browns lose. AFC Norf is in shambles.

This is truly a shitshow division.

Browns somehow lost a game to TN with Cam ward passing for 117 yards and Sanders chucking it for 364.

Ravens supposedly the class of this division never led in this game once and got ass raped by the 4-8 Bungs with the division on the line last week. They've looked sketchy and weak all year. Fuck them once the refs are finished taking their turn.

Bungs only figured out how to play football about 10 games into the season, which is about five games too late.

It's questionable we've figured it out at all yet even with the division lead. I still can't take the team seriously, even with a nice (if refball-assisted) win this week.

Whoever makes it into the playoffs from the North, either us or the Ravens, will be lucky to even get past the divisional round. I expect a hasty exit.

[stillthere]

That wasn't luck, the league is fixed

Roughing penlaty got Steelers 7pounts instead of 3 on what ref in booth said was terrible call
Likely was a td
And penalizes rats 28 yards before Thye even started their last drive

I thought they said 18 yards.

[Steelperch]

One thing I know for sure, I’d do everything in my power to trade Watt this off-season. Zero explosion or effort as a pass rusher. He’s cooked!

[LakecrestSteeler]

Is Alberto Riveron, the officiating boss, back in NFL HQ?

He caused all the Jesse James and Dez Bryant fuckups.

He's counting the 1st down holding penalty on the Ravens which cost another 10. The first such call they made all game long.

Honestly today was worst case scenario.

Cleveland has two first round picks and one will be top 3. Bengals and Ravens are cruising towards top 10 picks. We will win the division with 8 or 9 wins and be picking in the 20’s. We’re always too good to rebuild, never good enough to compete for anything meaningful. It’s purgatory and some people cheer for it.

Do you not get that he extended the ball outward? That is a fucking football move. Doing a tuck would be a retarded football move in this instance.

[stillthere]

he could have secured the ball without a 3rd step. he could have been standing on 2 feet never taken another step and put he ball away (the football move) and had a TD without a 3rd step. The ball was moving before he took a 3rd step or secured it.

No TD.

8 out of 10 times he probably makes the catch just fine but today he did not. We got a huge lucky break but that is what it is.

[zeke5123]

TJ has zero explosion or effort on pass rushers any more

So true. He doesn’t have the bend anymore.

[stillthere]

They're talking about him not getting the third foot down in time which is something I literally have never heard before anywhere.

So CBS AND the refs both got the Tomlin hotseat memo.

Third step is the football move; completely ignoring the neener neener neener keep the ball away from the defender football move.

ball was moving.

[shellwagnerblount]

Who wants him, though? He's been horrible..I don't think even LaMarr Woodley fell off this far, this fast. I know he gets double teamed a lot but he used to be 1000% effort type. No longer.

It just happened again with the CHI tight end.

I for one can't wait to watch the Steelers go 9-8, back into the 4th seed, then lose by 30 in the Wildcard Round. So excited that I will have an extra game to watch in January!

I don’t know who’s in charge

But all nfl reviews are handled by the NY HQ crew

The local review officials are only there for consultation if NY doesn’t agree

The ball was moving in his hands the DB was pushing his arm away from securing the catch. People may say I have black and gold colored glasses on but by rule the ball was being lost before he controlled it or landed with a 3rd step. Like I have said it was pure luck and we should have lost Isiah Luckily did not finish his job on the play.

This team can still lose all 4 remaining games


Plus, the officials were on the side of the Tomlins today

[stillthere]

We got out snapped like 75 to 51 what an embarrassing win.

[jeemie]

Likely’s no-catch just as awful as the Jesse James’ no-catch call!

As soon as he didn't get the third step down before the ball came out, I knew the call was getting overturned.
