Antonio Brown's TD vs Tampa

I'mRonBurgandy? : 9/28/2014 7:36 pm
I had the sound down so I never heard the explanation. They called pass interference against Tampa but Brown clearly shoved the defender as the ball arrived to allow him to make the catch. Dopey ref is right there and signals touchdown. Refs get together and call PI against the defense.

If they didn't ignore the offensive PI, penalties should offset.

Some of these game changing calls are beyond ridiculous. Are these refs accountable in some tangible way?
Here's the link. What do you think?

All calls should come from a booth and be so obvious everyone can see it. Absolutely ridiculous with these calls favoring offense
Something has to be done

its turning me off pro football. I'll still watch the Giants but I may start not watching any other games on TV. I know I'm not alone.
wtf was that?

your allowed to throw the guy aside now? push him from the back? pisses me off because I'm playing against a team with Antonio Brown on it.

I didn't watch any football, except for 15 minutes of Niners-Eagles today. and I'm happier for it.

No it isn't, and no you won't.

Do you really want that? I think there would be even more flags, and at a time the Zebras are already killing the game. At a minimum you could find someone holding on most plays

They are doing what the NFL wants them to do Ensure games with lots and lots of scoring. Congrats Fantasy Football you've become a cancer that may not kill the support but the damage you duo will render the came unenjoyable for many of us.

Until it hits the NFL in the pocketbook the short sighted owners won't change. By then who knows what the game will look like.
It is inconceivable to me that

a winless wnd generally weak TB team could go INTO Pittsburgh(hardly an easy place to play for an opponent) and come out with a win..A good example of why betting on NFL football is crazy..:)

Doesn't matter to me how egregious the calls were, it should never(or rarely) matter against a team like TB..They shouldn't have been allowed to be anywhere close to breathing distance to allow for any bad break(s) to even matter.

Shame on the Steelers

Game changing plays  
teso56 : 9/29/2014 10:29 am : link
Pass Interference is as much a game changer as a turnover and has to be challengeable by replay.

In general I think its more the rules than the refs that are ruining the game. There is a flag on like every other play. Its really hard to watch.
If the refs could not see Antonio Brown's offensive pass interference

than they are either blind or life-long Steeler fans.

It was ridiculously blatant.

Glad Tampa Bay won the game to serve a bit of justice...
