OT Denver 30 Pitt 23
“Just like I told you, Tebow can’t throw!”
I didn’t say it. I do think Tebow’s passing is getting better and better. Probably a great work ethic.
Calling TAILS on a coin toss is always wrong.
It’s still pretty much 50/50 with the team getting the ball first winning, because it puts pressure on the team with the ball to get first downs, or else the opponent will get the ball in good field position.
Exactly what I was thought...
Absolutely dirty hit by James “I don’t care if I hurt anyone” Harrison, destroying the knee of Broncos top receiver. James Harrison should be removed from the league. Even high school players know how to tackle/wrap up correctly.
Clearly backward pass, refs missed an obvious fumble...given field position likely a 7 point swing.
Multiple face masks on Tim Tebow never called. Broncos would have a really good chance to win in regulation if called.
Nobody with any principles can root for Rapelessburger and James “I don’t care if I hurt anyone” Harrison.

The officiating clearly favored the Steelers....

Multiple face masks on (2 obvious ones Tim Tebow...can u imagine if that was Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?) never called. Broncos would have a really good chance to win in regulation if called.
Rooney is a pro-abortion Obama lover. Black and gold - oh puke. Find another team.
(Yeah, & if the Broncos had lost, you'd complain about me being a "sore loser"...so either way you wind up complaining about a post complaining about the refs...so I guess that makes you a sore loser complaining about posts, eh?)
A reception by Mike Wallace taken away by the refs that would have gotten the Steelers right back into it after Denver scored 2 TDs.
Ya gotta first have something to "take away..." Once it gets to reviewing a replay, you get into the most objective calls any ref can make in a game. Once you come to complain about replay decisions (99% of the time), you're really stretching the "sore loserman" angle. Helmet to helmet contact with no flag called on the Broncos.
The only helmet to helmet contact I saw was a Steeler running lowering his helmet as he was going down. A Steeler back (or WR) suddenly shifting his elevation is no intentional helmet to helmet.
As for Harrison’s legal hit, remember that this is what the NFL is asking for. When the Steelers hit high, they get flagged. So he hit low. NFL’s choice.
If you want to comment on this, fine. (But I wasn't the one complaining about this...go feed your sore loserman response to THAT poster)
Pass inteference called on an uncatchable ball
Thomas is what...6-foot-5...high passes ARE his specialty. Of course, when a CB first mugs somebody with his chest and then puts his left arm on the shoulder/arm of the receiver -- all w/out looking @ the ball -- of course he's going to get an interference call. My thought on that play was that had the CB been looking at the ball, then the contact he initiated would not have been seen as something he did intentionally.
Roughing the QB called when a mere hand was laid on Tebow.
The problem wasn't the contact. Refs are trained to look at renewed effort. The Steeler came in with arms just above the waist and then raised them after the throw to get a shove in...renewed effort. Had he merely bumped into Tebow - even a hard bump, no flag. You obviously have no discernment in "renewed effort" ref training.
316...as in John 3:16
Denver will need better play calling to beat Boston...just about every first down play was a run up the middle....except over time..
Indeed Dan Rooney is a big fan of Zero, actively and aggressively campaigning for the Marxist in 2008 stating, "He [Obama] is just like all of you people," Rooney said. "A regular person. He is the best person for the job." He obviously invoked his very own Rooney Rule when throwing his support behind the Kenyan.
Had Denver NOT been running up middle every first down, that safety would not have been up & out of position in OT...now would he have?
You HAVE heard of how some plays are mere "set-up" plays for bigger plays, have you not?
A pox on his house and the steelers for as long as he owns them.
I still slip up on occasion and call them the Phoenix Cardinals (or on occasion, the St. Louis Cards). :-)
The next playoff game will be interesting since the Broncos have to play on the road in a tough venue. The advantage Denver might be able to exploit is the poor defense of the Patriots.
Above the Xs and Os the upcoming game, the two quarterbacks (Brady and Tebow) are a real contrast in terms of off-field behavior and character.
When given a choice, I prefer to buy goods made by non-union workers. Likewise, I avoid products from General Electric because of the reprehensible behavior of Chairman Jeffrey Immelt.
Although its just a game, I choose to no longer offer my support for my onetime hometown team of the Steelers, although an avid fan in the miserable days of the 60's and the glory of the 70's. Art Rooney seemed to be a mostly good, humble man. But, as for Dan...
Glad that scumbag Rothlesberger is going home...however...are the ladies safe?
“Serves those cheating underhanded Steelers right...3...count ‘em 3 uncalled Steeler facemasks in the second half (two vs. Tebow)...The NFL should issue plenty of post-game fines...
Steelers were only in the game to begin with because an official blew a fumble dead early in the second half 17 yards away from another Bronco score.
This officiating crew needs to retire for the season...and a few of them for their career!”
Indeed. Some of the worst NFL officiating ... ever.
“Talk about a game with no rooting interest.”
Uh, us folk in Colorado didn’t think so.
I agree with you. But, I find it funny that the first "non-sudden death OT" ended in sudden death on the first play from scrimmage.
What...you don't like a game involving 300 pound warriors playing their guts out for 3+ hours being decided by a pip-squeak furriner saying "I'm gonna keeck a touchdown."
The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD. [Proverbs 16:33, NKJV]
