vonteego3 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Let me preface this by saying that I didn't care at all who won this game. I would have been cheering for the Cardinals either way. If the Eagles would have won, I would have been cheering for either the Steelers or the Ravens...Dev, you are CRAZY biased. How could Holmes 'make a football move' when he caught the ball in the middle of a dive? The call was correct. He dropped the ball when he hit the ground. Have you not watched football all year? These 'catches' have been overturned consistently. It makes absolutely no difference if he crossed the goal line during the dive. What if the catch was IN the end zone, and he dropped it once it hit the ground?Most dives don't involve taking 3 steps and then planting your hand in the ground. Link to post Share on other sites
doox 15 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 My first instinct when Sweed stayed on the ground after his dropped pass was that he badly sprained his vagina. It pisses me off that it cost the Steelers a time out, which would have been REALLY nice at the end of the first half. Hell, one less second of having him lick turf would have been enough to at least get a field goal try.I could be wrong, but I think I actually saw a holding penalty called during this game in favor of Harrison/the Steelers. About time. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah, your right no dives involve this.If you'd read what I quoted, you would see that he said he caught the ball in the middle of a dive... considering he took 3 steps before planting his hand in the ground, I'd say that's not a dive. Care to try again? Link to post Share on other sites
vonteego3 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 So let me get this straight.... No helmet to helmet call and they give the fumble to Pitt??? Yeah this season wasn't rigged at all.And the play last week when Rivers got slammed face first into the turf 4 steps after the defender had him wrapped up?? Give me a fucking break.Initial contact was shoulder to shoulder... the rest was an unfortunate accident. Nothing flagrant about it. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes I know all that, he planted his hand ON the ground.Run full speed, and then dive forward into relatively soft ground. Tell me if your hand breaks the surface. Link to post Share on other sites
king1305 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Run full speed, and then dive forward into relatively soft ground. Tell me if your hand breaks the surface.False. The field was extremely hard. It has been below freezing here for like a week and a half straight. They tried using the heaters that they have under the field, but it didn't do much.Where are all the people who complain about how bad the playing surface is at Heinz Field now?

rocketpoker828 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 it feels sacrilegious to root for the steelers b/c i dislike the tons of loudmouth fans that live in my area, but since former OSU star santonio holmes plays for them, i will kind of root for them.

dEv~ 19 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I won't argue that I'm not a homer but IMO I have the ability to review plays without seeing them through Steeler glasses. I just now watched the play again for the first time since Sunday and it looks to be closer than I remembered. It's not 100% clear either way but IMO had the Ravens won this game this call would be argued as much as Holmes TD during Steelers-Ravens part 2. This is a rink they have setup outside of PPG building in downtown Pittsburgh. Hopefully it just appears this way in the picture but I'm not sure how I'd feel about yellow ice.http://www.ppgplace.com/wallpapers.shtml Link to post Share on other sites

jkalib 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just found out today that I will be at the game. I live in Phoenix, so if the Steeler's lose it is going to be doubly brutal for me, but will be there rooting on the black and gold. Link to post Share on other sites
