NFL robs the Steelers

[flyingelvis]

No idea what happened since I didn't see it. But doesn't the ball just have to "break" the plane?

On a run, yes. But on a pass, the receiver needs to maintain control to the ground regardless of where the catch is made, endzone included.

You didn’t watch the game?

I heard the Steelers (on the radio) actually did have someone that could have covered him, guessing Davis wasn't the guy they were talking about... Glad they didn't use him!

Yea, he was in a wheel chair in the owners box.

So whatever Dumbass said that ain't to Fuckin bright either.

"but should be ignored because you don't like the rule.....

No, not because I don't like the rule, but because that's what I thought the rule was. If your post with Dean Blandino's tweet is correct, than I am willing to admit I was mistaken.

Been moving all weekend... Finally got cable and internet... game was the last thing I could see... well that and I didn't have cable until Brady and Big Ben hug

Give it a Fuckin rest.

The refs nor the NFL beat the Steelers.

The asshole who assigned Sean Davis and only Sean Davis to cover Rob Gronkowski is what beat the Steelers.
Mike Mitchell standing in center field like the newest outfielder for the Pirates instead of helping Davis beat us.
The whole world knew at least 4 times in the 4th quarter the ball was going to Gronk, yet the Steelers coaches decided to leave 6'1" 220 lbs of Davis alone to cover 6'6" 265 lbs of Gronkowski. Stupid stupid stupid coaching, that is what beat us. Fuck the rule, fuck the call, if Gronk gets double teamed, the play doesn't factor into Shit.

I agree. Like Cubs fans blaming that fan, when Alex Gonzalez made an error the next play.

Doesn't change how the rule contradicts itself. It's worth pointing out.

Thank you for clarifying!

 

[beardown07]

the "going to the ground" aspect should be in a "diving catch", not a catch and an intentional fucking dive after the fact.


That shit is retarded af.

oh.. well then I guess that's why he is on the radio then, lol

 

[RobBase]

He caught it.....it started moving around when he was coming down and stretching out to reach across the goal line.

So what? It's a football, not an anvil. It moves around.

He crossed the goal line. When an RB jumps the pile, he isn't falling to the ground?

Well it was as good as it gets I guess. Pats delivered on key plays again, by STs and D. And the one-minute Gronking.

 

[ducky]

I understand the rule, but he did catch the ball. It’s a shit rule.

It's not a shit rule. In fact it's as good as it is ever going to get.

The rule has to be as it is currently written or else you are asking officials to make judgement calls. The way it is written is the only way to get any consistency on what is a catch and what isn't.

I was explaining for the meathead Pats fans benefit.

I saw on gamecast... and got so pissed when I say Big Ben with the TD.... Put phone down, walked away and then came back and was like wtf!? lol

Shazier is the only one that could of matched Gronk size and speed.....
Certainly not any skinny assed DB. But they should of double covered him. Mitchell, the free safety over the top did not help Davis one time covering Gronk. And after Mitchell bitching like a little girl last week about hitting people, the coward didn't step up one damn bit.

Understanding how the rule contradicts itself, but this Dumbass thread title of how the NFL robbed the Steelers.....
Bullshit, the Steelers fucked themselves. Stop Gronkowski one time, one drive, game over.
