Again, I'm not claiming ref favoritisms, the Steelers more than deserved to lose that game (7 turnovers?), but that was a huge missed call which wasn't even close (the guy who fumbled the ball was still upright, so there was no "maybe he was down" argument). Even with the Steelers third string QB slinging, down 6 with 2:20 left at the 50 is a bit easier than down 6 with 15 seconds left on your own five. |

Didn't they call him dead on forward progress? A completely arbitrary rule.

I think you're right, but the ball came out fractions of seconds after initial contact. If forward progress was the call, it was a really bad call. If forward progress wasn't the call, it was a mind numbing bad call. I wish I had access to instant replay, but that game wasn't televised in my hood.
A long story, but I ended up hanging out at the local Steelers bar (for the first time in about six years), and a bunch of those dumb fucks were screaming at the TV because they didn't review the previous play, in which the fourth string Steelers RB got twisted like a pretzel, and appeared to be down by contact at about the time he fumbled giving the ball to the Browns. I never saw a replay, and the replay guys never buzzed down to the refs to get under the hood, so I assumed it was an obvious fumble. I don't think anyone else thought that, and I still would like to see a reply. I don't doubt he fumbled at all, so that is not my point.
The Browns got the ball and only had to run out the clock. The next play was an obvious fumble, but it wasn't reviewable because the Steelers didn't have a timeout (the last play before the two minute warning), and the incorrect call on the field wasn't a turn over. The only reviewable calls when you don't have a time-out are turnovers, scores, and calls inside the two minute warning. I was one of 100 saying, "ah fuck it, we got screwed," but the rest of the dumb fucks were screaming for reviews.
It was a bad call, whatever, shit happens, a lot. I said I wouldn't do this, but a lot of NFL refs suck, and they always have. I wasn't pulling shit out of my ass when I was rooting for the replacements. I was rooting for better officiating.

Niners had this happen during the NFC conference game last year against the Giants. Much screaming was done at the television.

Since there isn't a college football thread, this will suffice. That Arizona v. Nevada game was crazy. Arizona was down 13 at their own 25 with less than two minutes remaining in the game. They won. Go Pac-10 (fuck you, I'm not calling it the Pac-12).

Rookie of the Year. RGIII or Andrew Luck will win but Russell Wilson deserves it.

Nevermind. Giving the Rookie of the Year award to Wilson is actually nowhere near the unreasonable suggestion that I initially thought it was.

Huge day in football for the Shaxmeister. Niners beat the Pats. Shaxxy is going to the Sasquatch Fantasy SuperBowl. And barring Kenny Brit having a monster game against Cromartie tomorrow, I made a huge come from behind in my fantasy money league.
As for Wilson....RGIII and Luck have WAY less talent on their teams than Wilson. Luck has Wayne. RGIII has another incredible rookie in Morris. That's it. Wilson is doing some incredible things, but Luck is carrying that team on his back and they should have been a contender for next year's #1 again. Washington looked poised to be a garbage team again as well. If the Colts make it to the playoffs, Luck is winning the MVP. If Wilson makes it to the Superbowl he has a shot.
Oh and Wilson?

Are you fucking serious dude? That's more played out than the Obama birth certificate conspiracy. It's been investigated, and there has been ZERO proof found. Move on.

If you'd ever been to the Clink you would know that literally every person around you screams until they're hoarse. Based on what's going on, that place is quiet compared to what you would expect. The whole thing is self perpetuating, Fans are loud because the stadium is loud but the stadium is loud because the fans are loud. The whole piped in crowd noise bullshit is just other fans being sore losers because their fans aren't half as loud as we are.
