Not quite yet. Keep your fingers crossed..
(can't believe I said this for the friggin' Bucs. So sad.)


Agreed. Saints now have 4th down and inches with 3 minutes left...Saints are punting...
 
Return touchdown with a key block by the ref :lol

That was fun, now let them score. You covered. That's a victory. Pull all the starters Morris.
 
What a good time for a decisive win! I thought we had a chance of losing this game, with the way the Jags played the Colts, but they never really bothered to show up.
 
:lol Saints again. Should have went for it on 4th down to end the game. Fuck the haters that say you cant go for it on 4th down if you're inside your own 50 to seal the win.


Somewhere Bill Belichick is laughing.

wtf!? Why didn't Tomlin challenge that?!


I'm guessing the refs tried to claim that the best they could do would be to give Mason possession and ignore the fact that the Steelers recovered. The rule basically states that you can't change possession if the whistle blew and the recovery weren't clear and immediate. In this case, there's no chance that anybody not wearing a Steelers jersey could have possibly recovered it, so they're full of shit if so.


edit:


Okay, so ESPN America just aired another one of these Madden commercials about what to expect in 2009. This time, it was for Troy Polamalu and the dominant Steelers defense. This is a joke, right? Somebody at ESPN America is joking with people who are watching?

NFL needs to tell the Refs to show some restraint with the whistle blowing.

The Steelers have had the opposite problem this season. Two major fumbles by us this season have come from the refs refusing to blow the whistle after the play was obviously over :lol
