Game Thread: New England Patriots AT Pittsburgh Steelers 425 EST/CBS

I hate black and white rules. Only hire refs with a minimum of vvommon sense, and let them make a common sense call. Anybody with any common sense (and not a vested rooting interest) can see that was a catch on the overturned call. But instead they overanalyze it to try and see how it applies to the way the rule was written.

I guess we can avoid another thread by Arlingtoncowboys about how "done" Brady is at 40. I wish Pitt woulda pulled this one out though. That's a real tough break.

Tough way to lose. Dumbest rule in Football IMO, but right call by the ref to overturn it there. I still go back to my simple definition. If a 10 year old watches it and thinks it's a catch it should be a catch.

 

[skinzfan]

refs called it a TD, not sure that should have been overturned. let the good times roll

Why did Ben act like he was going to do a fake spike? Nobody was buying that.

Then on top of that he threw that into triple coverage

 

[DJ]

Jimmy G is playing well......

I thought the ground can't cause a fumble

Ben shouldn't have thrown that ball into tight coverage. You need to make sure you kick the damn FG.

 

[Wazmankg]

No one knows this better than Lions fans.

Exactly. Calvin landed on his ass in the end zone with the ball on his hand and it came out as he rolled over. This one wasn't all that close to a catch tbh.

 

[Zooky]

Anyone loving the Tennessee San Francisco bonus coverage!?

Damn without football rob gronkowski would be a fucking ditch digger. Dude sounds dumb as ballsacks.

I think that insults the intelligence of ballsacks. He is second only to Lochte in terms of knuckle-dragging Neanderthals. He's really fucking good though.

I thought they were going to clock it. That was just dumb.

It can't in college. It can in pros

 

[Zooky]

Succup from 51. It’s good!

 

[Diamondeye]

The Patriots have to be the luckiest fucking team in the history of sports.

I'm just probably going to stay away from anything football related for awhile.

Most painful loss ever for me as a Steelers fan.

 

[thedddd]

You can't complain about the overturned TD. Unfortunately that is the rules but that 3rd down pass play was stupid.

 

[dougplayer]

Just put Brady on HOF now

 

[NEhomer]

What an amazing game regardless of the outcome....lived up to all the hype.

Condolences to Steelers fans; that's a tough one to lose after fist pumping the win.
