Wowwww
Edit. Ok replay looked shorter than ez cam. But it looked really good then seemed to die at the end

Never mind. I thought that hit the crossbar.
How does he miss the ball that far in person? Are they in Bristol?"Off the cross-bar..."
"umm, actually no"
Corrente would have found some way to take it away from thembears were like one play short of having a good chance. oh well.
Yeah.. this officiating crew should be investigated.
What the fuck is Nagy thinking, how does he not know his kicker’s range? It’s called pregame warmups, Matt.The ball bounced 8 yards short in the end zone. Oof.
For those of us who have Mr Magoo eyesight - it looked inches short.Levy fucking sucks, that was 7 yards short
Bears could have been flagged for more neutral zone infractions than were actually called.
The shear numbers of penalties that weren't called on the steelers and were called on the bears despite the huge disparity in yards gained on offense by other side was ridiculous.. that taunting penalty was just the icing on the cake..it was not the most egregious or non egregious call of the night.. the disparity between the two teams was basically criminal.. and I'm not a fan of either team.Taunting call didn’t decide the game but loomed quite large. If the Bears score a TD (not a given but for the sake of argument…) then Pitt need 7 instead of 3. I’m sure the league is quite pleased that it didn’t come directly down to that call, however.
Yeah but that idiot is IN THE STADIUM.For those of us who have Mr Magoo eyesight - it looked inches short.
If Marsh had seen Corrente moving and gotten out of the way, Corrente would have kept going til he fell on his assYeah.. this officiating crew should be investigated.
it'd be interesting to see if they get called for that on a game by game basis.. I wonder if they just do that regularly and don't get called for it?That was strange, instead of backing up and getting in a stance, 99 started lining up standing after he got flagged
he must have been watching the monitorYeah but that idiot is IN THE STADIUM.
Taunting call led to 3 points and previous brutal call took away 4. Extremely impactful calls based on basically nothing, although I still think it was stupid not to just pound it with Montgomery in the latter situation.The shear numbers of penalties that weren't called on the steelers and were called on the bears despite the huge disparity in yards gained on offense by other side was ridiculous.. that taunting penalty was just the icing on the cake..it was not the most egregious or non egregious call of the night.. the disparity between the two teams was basically criminal.. and I'm not a fan of either team.
What you’re doing there is using logic. Ben spiked the ball with :40 left, wasting a down. Then after his John Elway impersonation (it wasn’t stated, but presumably they meant Elway at 80 years old), they had no choice but to kick. It’s maddening. The Bears offense shouldn’t have even seen the field again.Is it just me, or could the Steelers have milked the clock more?
looking from the side and so should see it hit just into the ez, ya know not bounce of the crossbar as mentionedYeah but that idiot is IN THE STADIUM.
I disagree with you on Lars on the taunting call. The fault lies with the existence of that rule, not with the call at that point in time. It’s a ridiculous rule, but it is a rule and that’s how they’ve been enforcing it.Taunting call led to 3 points and previous brutal call took away 4.

He must have avoided his beloved bad beat tonightVan Pelt just asserted that the Marsh penalty didn’t affect the outcome of the game.
He was already pulling out his flag as he was backing up into Marsh.. if the standard is you can't face the other team's sideline ever after a huge sack.. then what are we doing. Laddie has it right.. the sharps wanted Pitt to win and the refs IMO made it way too obvious.If Marsh had seen Corrente moving and gotten out of the way, Corrente would have kept going til he fell on his ass
If there is a fanbase that has their coach’s back 100% - it’s the Steelers.This is coming from a Steelers fan too.
Does Van Pelt have any credibility given how much of a shill he is for ESPN?Van Pelt just asserted that the Marsh penalty didn’t affect the outcome of the game.
In their performance reviews I am sure they are coached on being fair and judicious with ‘valued partners’ like the NFL.Does Van Pelt have any credibility given how much of a shill he is for ESPN?
I'm almost certain if we had time that we could find 100 different scenarios where a linebacker has sacked the qb and done essentially the same thing.. perhaps the only difference being facing the other team's sideline?I disagree with you on Lars on the taunting call. The fault lies with the existence of that rule, not with the call at that point in time. It’s a ridiculous rule, but it is a rule and that’s how they’ve been enforcing it.
Isn't the bolded part exactly what a ref may interpret as taunting?I'm almost certain if we had time that we could find 100 different scenarios where a linebacker has sacked the qb and done essentially the same thing.. perhaps the only difference being facing the other team's sideline?
No it isn't.I disagree with you on Lars on the taunting call. The fault lies with the existence of that rule, not with the call at that point in time. It’s a ridiculous rule, but it is a rule and that’s how they’ve been enforcing it.
The problem is in the interpretation.. that happens after almost every big play IMO.. he said nothing and was 100 feet away from their sideline.. how is that taunting? It's like Tim Duncan getting a T for laughing while on the bench.Isn't the bolded part exactly what a ref may interpret as taunting?
John Mara - who is on the Competition Committee - had a shitfit over his Giants getting taunted week after week.I didn’t really follow the origin of this rule and didn’t even know it existed until the execution of it started pouring in, but it is at least somewhat racially motivated, yes? Reads to me similar to when the NBA installed a dress code because AI wore big t-shirts and Stern thought the league needed to be made safer for white fans after the Malice at the Palace.
Maybe this is even worse because there is no inciting incident, just some old cranks yelling at clouds.
None of the Steelers’ fans I know will be saying that, including this one.Tomlin wins a game like this and folks will talk about how amazing he is as a coach...but they were up 20-6 in the 4th quarter and there is no reason this should have been a game. This is coming from a Steelers fan too.
The problem with the taunting rule is that it's not like the tuck rule, which was a questionable rule which was enforced correctly on a change-of-possession play that required the official to make a call; taunting is inherently in the eyes/ears of the beholder, and has no impact on the outcome of a play. Refs sometimes ignore it, and other times seem to go out of their way to look for it - so it's ripe for abuse.The problem is in the interpretation.. that happens after almost every big play IMO.. he said nothing and was 100 feet away from their sideline.. how is that taunting? It's like Tim Duncan getting a T for laughing while on the bench.
Scroll back, I totally called the penalty BS when it was called. I agree with you, but he was clearly walking toward the Steelers' bench, he was clearly celebrating the sack after already doing some sort of helicopter kick. Unfortunately, he gave the ref the ability to inject himself in the game.The problem is in the interpretation.. that happens after almost every big play IMO.. he said nothing and was 100 feet away from their sideline.. how is that taunting?
