Thread: The Steelers find a new way to lose to the Pats.

Just made me sick last night. Always does when the Pats win like that. It shouldn't bother me, but it does.

Oh, Tom Jackson called the NFL. They want that TD to Butch Johnson in XII taken away.



I know this has been the "rule" in the NFL and this is what MAKES NO SENSE at all. If a player is rushing into the end zone and he crosses the plane of the goal line for one MOMENT, it is a TD. Period. Does not matter if the ball is knocked out of the hand or falls out of the hand AFTER it breaks the plane, it is a TD.

When a player catches the damn ball, has possession, and crosses the plane, it SHOULD BE A TD period. It is the same damn thing.

Mike Tomlin was part of the Competition Committee that created the rule for which you disagree.

That has little to do with the price of tea in China....you know.

Contrary to popular belief throughout New England, the Patriots do have influence in the offices of the NFL.

His name is Alberto Riveron, and he is the NFL’s senior vice president of officiating.

Whether you agree (Patriots fans) with his call Sunday night robbing Jesse James of a touchdown or not (Steelers fans), Riveron has helped decide three victories for New England just this season.

I wish the Pats could have figured out a way to lose a heartbreaker to the Steelers...but I still want to laugh at the Steelers losing in such a gut-wrenching manner to the Pats.

What does it mean? I hate the Steelers. Only the Raiders are more loathsome. And I Hate the Pats too, almost as much as the Steelers. It almost a paradox

Cheaters

It galls me that the only time the f---ing Squealers get cheated by the refs is when they play the f---ing Cheatriots.

The game received huge ratings and I would like to thank you all for watching our glorious victory.
