Referee on Pistburg side

The Seer · 02-01-09, 09:13 PM

NFL is all about $ and they will make much more when the popular team like Pit wins. And doc, I have both +1000 ML so I win either way so don't say "another Steeler backer".

holding on Zona... lol

Especially the roughing call with Ben throwing it away from inside the hashes.

I own a -7 Steelers ticket and I will refuse to cash it in honor of the ass raped Cardinals backers. I don't like cashing dirty money. This is against everything I believe in.

MilfDriller · 02-01-09, 09:16 PM

roughing the Gayberger was legit?

there's a sack. I'm surprised that's not a 'Smashing the Gay' penalty

WileOut · 02-01-09, 09:17 PM

Where was the flag there? You have to give 1 or 2 yards to receive the punt. If it was Pitt receiving that would have been a 15 yarder.

smarmy · 02-01-09, 09:19 PM

AZ needs to start stretching out the field.

The Seer · 02-01-09, 09:21 PM

can't believe they haven't thrown a flag to kill this drive

mmike032 · 02-01-09, 09:22 PM

its coming

pavyracer · 02-01-09, 09:22 PM

They don't have time to throw because of no huddle Seer.

WileOut · 02-01-09, 09:28 PM

Ok, Zona down by 6, mark my words Willie Parker marches down the field here with the help of the officials. He will run the officials will block. They dont even need linemen. Persoal fouls will be called. Defensive holding. Pass interference. Roughing the passer. Coming up.

Pitt has done nothing the whole game

Mike true

smarmy · 02-01-09, 09:31 PM

there should have been a penalty there for sacking the QB too hard!

smarmy · 02-01-09, 09:32 PM

oh boy! it's a game!

WileOut · 02-01-09, 09:34 PM

Ok offensive holding fest coming up. Watch out.

pavyracer · 02-01-09, 09:35 PM

The only way Steelers cover is if their defense scores.

smarmy · 02-01-09, 09:36 PM

thought that was going against the sideline

mmike032 · 02-01-09, 09:37 PM

there it is
no need to stop now refs

smarmy · 02-01-09, 09:38 PM

alright....that was a good call.

Dark Horse · 02-02-09, 01:07 PM

Familiar story. Steelers winning the Super Bowl with zebra help. Horrible officiating.

fiveteamer · 02-02-09, 01:10 PM

That one roughing the passer call was really bad. I did not watch the entire game.

Shortstop · 02-02-09, 01:11 PM

element1286 · 02-02-09, 01:25 PM

The only call that was questionable was the roughing the passer, the rest were 100% legit.

Dark Horse · 02-02-09, 01:31 PM

As explained on ESPN, the Cards should have had the ball on the 15 yard line for a final shot into the end zone (with Fitzy...). Holmes used the ball as a prop after his TD (15 yards), Warner threw an incomplete pass (not a fumble), that wasn't reviewed, and there was a penalty against Pittsburgh on that play. The refs were all over this game, and gifted the game to Pittsburgh. As a bettor, I don't care because it didn't affect my ATS bet and helped some other wagers. But as a football fan I'm pretty disgusted.

1. Whatever on that "prop" penalty.
2. Fumble no question about it. It was reviewed in the booth, and they deemed it so obvious that it didn't need reviewed on the field.
3. What was the penalty on "that play"?

G's pks · 02-02-09, 01:35 PM

I think a few bad calls each way... Against the Cards the roughing the holder penalty, but it did not matter Pitt. still only got a field goal again after penalty. On the other hand, the holding in the endzone probably ended up in what? A total of 9 points! Yes 9 points for the cards!! You guys that had the cards and points should be happy! I only had pitt ml, but a win is a win! So I will not complain about the free 9 points!

Dark Horse · 02-02-09, 01:40 PM

Guys, the officiating was a joke. Deal with it. As it was for the previous Steelers Super Bowl.

Guys the officiating was fine, deal with it.

pavyracer · 02-02-09, 01:44 PM

I agree. The officiating was horrible. The Cards were robbed last night. NFL is fixing all the Superbowls since 1966.

Haters are coming out like they did after the Steeler/Seahawk Super Bowl. Anytime someone is on top of the mountain, people will try and knock them off and complain how they got there. Just look how many Yankee haters there are in the world. Its not because they lose all the time. Its because they have the most championships. If the Cardinals had won this Super Bowl you wouldnt hear a peep about the officiating.
