Not his fault there

but Gates’ YAC must have dropped a lot the past 2 or 3 years.

I mean I think the refs were terrible

but I don’t think it’s due to any shifty conspiracy.

Agreed.

I torrented XL the other week and re-watched the misery, but it didn’t seem like any of the calls were intentional. Just shameful incompetence.

On the flight home

after a few hours of total silence, my cousin looks over at me and just says “rigged”.

by Dukeshire on Jan 11, 2009 3:09 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Even after the game I didn't think it was actually fixed

I did however break a few items in my house and probably said some awful things about Bill Levy’s family.

I swore off ever watching the NFL again

The loss was one thing, but watching the team getting screwed again and again…now I just think it was a crappily officiated game that kind of screwed both teams.

If you were just an average football fan

it still had to be ugly. It was a shameful display

I've talked to Steelers fans

and a lot were just as disgusted. They said it felt dirty and I guess I’d feel the same.

by John Morgan on Jan 11, 2009 3:15 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I almost feel bad for the Steelers fans* in 2005

They had a great season, and it does seem like their win was tainted in a way.

  • The fans that aren’t completely obnoxious and ignorant.

by MFAN on Jan 11, 2009 3:17 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, but you know they don't care.

After a week or so, the pundits defending Seattle had moved on to other news.

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

Without getting too existentialist here

Winning wrong would, long term, feel so, so much worse than losing wrong. It would be like something great hollowed out and filled with shit.

by John Morgan on Jan 11, 2009 3:21 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, I know I would feel that way.

I remember thinking before the game “If we lose, that sucks, but let it be a good game.”

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

by Wayward Llama on Jan 11, 2009 3:27 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I was extremely sick with a bad stomach virus for the game.

All I could do was lie on the couch in silence and agony, sipping my 7-up.

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

It was

but it’s like a hot streak, sometimes things just break one way or another.

by John Morgan on Jan 11, 2009 3:08 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think the game was actually fixed...

But I will always hate the Steelers and Bill Leavy. There were a lot of poor calls, and a lot of undue praise for Roethlisberger.

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

Wouldnt it be nice

if Pitt made the SB then got reff raped to lose to Philly? Id love that.

Bringin' the outside heat.

by FizzleDrip on Jan 11, 2009 3:10 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Pittsburgh losing isn't enough

They need to lose the game on a terrible officiating call. I wish they were the Titans yesterday.

by MFAN on Jan 11, 2009 3:14 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I prefer a blowout

That’s the worst. Instead of feeling robbed, fans feel crushed. Like their team was never very good to begin with.

by John Morgan on Jan 11, 2009 3:18 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ah yes, seeing the Steelers crushed

Hawaii Sugar Bowl style.
Excellent.

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

SD vs Philly

That’s what I’m looking for.

by aerozeppelin on Jan 11, 2009 3:18 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Another very well executed play.

I doubt I’m saying something new, but Pittsburgh are the real deal.

More so than any team I’ve seen this weekend.

I still want SD to win.

by GarethLewin on Jan 11, 2009 3:09 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I mean it just blows my mind.

If they go to the Super Bowl, I’ll be speechless.

Though, how long was this coming? Years of high draft picks, finally getting some decent coaching, playing in the NFC west, etc..

It's great to be a Florida Gator!

Super Bowl losers curse

Rooting for the Cards to win next week and lose the superbowl.

why don’t they throw to miller more?

I like when the commentator says it's a good challenge because it's a high leverage situation

I think it’s a good challenge if there’s evidence that it will be overturned.

Why is howie long such an asshole?

and why is Chevy picking on reasonable features on other trucks and mocking them just because their trucks dont have them?

OT

I stopped watching the game since I hate both teams and I hate the AFC and football when the Seahawks aren’t playing anymore.
‘The Big Bang Theory’ is hilarious, absolutely love it. Like an adults freaks and geeks so far.

So, apropos of nothing

I watching Sopranos fourth season last night and Chrissy was slapping the shit out of Adriana and I had to shut it off. Great show, sometimes bad, sometimes unwatchable ugly.

TELL ME WHO YOU'RE WORKING FOR!

I stopped watching 24 in season 5 when it jumped the shark. I would participate in a 24 drinking game however.

Done

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

It’s just sinking in how much I hate the Steelers. So far, 2009 is a continuation of 2008.

I think the difference in Ravens-Steelers III...

…could be the unbalanced line. The Ravens got it up to about 30 percent of their plays late in the season. It seems like a portable strategy that would work well against any defense when you have power runners like they do.

As for XL, I don’t think it was “fixed”, per se, but I do believe it was slanted. I think that there are times when a crew is asked to call one team tighter than the other, and Dan Rooney was heavily involved in the brokering of the new CBA and the Tagliabue-Goodell transition around that time. He’s as old-guard as it gets, and I do honestly believe the overall tings of the officiating reflected that.
