Mike Tomlin can't be fired.

NFL would lose 70% of it's players for a week or so, anyway.

Hue Jackson, Jim Caldwell, Romeo Crennel, Art Shell, Ray Rhodes, and the late Denny Green, among many others, would like a word with you...

Maybe Ben will toss the refs under the bus. That one Charger TD was a pretty big miss on the false start.

Or he could blame himself for missing a wide open receiver for a sure fire TD.

Rivers was smart, he took advantage of the free play on the false start......

AB is right, should not come down to the refs. There was a enough there to overcome the ref's. Its on the team. Lets not be seahawk fans

Ah pudding. We got our SB and the glimpse into the Future looks pretty damn bright, especially if this was a rebuild year.

But yours on the other hand.....

Who gives a flying fuck about blown calls... Quit blaming the refs. That's pathetic Terry.

They aren't the reason the Steelers disappeared in the 2nd half last night.
The blown calls certainly played a factor, but at the same time the blame should be placed on using LBs to cover a top 5 WR and an offense getting lost in the second half

Yeah we’re going down when Ben retires it happens. But there were threads just recently from hawks fans whining about that game. You can deny it all u want, you may not of been part of it, but all these years later , still complaining

Some do but IMO winning in 2013 helps.

Offsides on one TD, that TD comes back.
Illegal block on the punt return TD, that TD comes back. There's 14 points.

That's not pathetic, those are facts. Those are legit gripes because those two missed calls formed the game.

But, like I also stated, which you just ignored for some reason, our own penalties fucked us over as well. 3 offsides in the last series? Unacceptable.

Both teams disappeared at the half, only one team reappeared. Not the refs fault, obviously, but the refs missed called played a big factor in the way the game played out. Saying that they didn't is just not accurate, in my opinion.
2 missed calls helped the Chargers, but it still wasn't the main reason the Steelers lost. Even if the false start didn't happen, that receiver had Hilton burned regardless. If anything you're bitching about a call that would have saved the Steelers from their own mistake. And the block in the back on the punt return TD, there's no excuse that 2-3 other guys should have been able to make that tackle but they took themselves out of the play by taking horrid angles.

Steelers flat out sucked ass in the 2nd half of that game.

Special teams.
they gave up the punt return & whatever the fuck that last series of offsides was LOL
How does this kind of shit not get called?

And that LS is apparently well known for pre-snap movement, too.

Steelers absolutely sucked in the 2nd half, with lots of critical mistakes.

Still took the refs giving them 17 points on some very big no/missed calls to help them win, though. Only way SD could overcome the first half deficit.

For steeler fans, I wouldn't sweat it ... there's a pretty good chance you will play the chargers wild card weekend.

Chargers can't beat the chiefs ever so they're likely to be 5 seed and Steelers currently sit at 4 seed and I predict they will end there

I understand that and I'm not dismissing it. Just merely stating that the blown calls weren't the most deciding factor in that game. If the Steelers had made some halftime adjustments (like any good coaches should) they would have won that game regardless of those 17 gifted points.
