Really don't understand how this kept happening with absolutely no warning to the Steelers sideline, or an ejection. Also in the Packers game today, Nelson knocked out of the first half by a defender leading with the crown of the helmet and no flag. Player safety???
 
I like how the refs felt Dupree taking off Matt Moore's head with helmet to helmet contact and Ajayi grabbing Dupree by the hand and telling him to "chill out" deserved the same 15 yard penalty.
 
that was pure bull****, puck the Steelers I hope KC destroys them
 
Steelers were getting away with late hits, helmet to helmet hits, pushing and shoving. After the fake punt, Heyward-Bey had a complete meltdown and nothing was called. Not to mention, Dupree got away with a late hit on Moore on the long pass to Stills prior to our first FG. So the refs are telling the Steelers that it's OK to play on the borderline of dirty. Then Ajayi defends his QB by "pushing" the offending Steelers player, and gets hit with a 15-yarder?

Saddest thing was not seeing the Dolphins respond by hitting Roethlisberger or Bell a little harder or a little late.
 
My question on that Moore hit is how did we end up getting a 1st and 25 penalty. Shouldn't we have moved up 15 and then the 15 afterwards moved us back and we start at 1st and 10.

Yea, I think they should have been offsetting if anything. But I think they did 15 against Pitt , spotted the ball, 1st and 10 us. Then the Jay push is a 15 yard penalty. So... 1st and 25. Bullsht!
 
I also enjoyed how quick the flag came for Ajayi there. But Bey is out there looking to fist fight dudes and not a single flag is dropped.
 
Shameful day for the NFL IMO
This crap biased officiating is one reason why I don't watch NBA bball anymore. The leagues want to showcase what they perceive as the best matchups instead of letting the play on the field determine the outcomes
The Phins faced long odds to win this one, but the officials created another obstacle. They directly affected the outcomes of the Phins 1st 2 scoring drives. Missed FLAGRANT PI on Parker when 3rd and 4 and ridiculous penalty on the second scoring drive.
 
Just the league telling us to shut up and sit down.... not our time. Just like when the ref told Cam Newton " you aren't old enough to get that call son".
 
I know that play would get you ejected in college; I wish it was the same in the NFL (I thought it was).

More like the bookies. Gotta cover that spread. After all, it is a business.
 
That hit was definitely a roughing the passer. Led with the top of the helmet and hit him right under the facemask. I heard in his post game presser after that hit he was making sure he still had his teeth...
 
Heywood Ja Blow Me Bey should have been flagged after the fake punt. He was completely out of control. But Ajai gives a half ass shove and gets flagged. Roger Goodell is an abortion.
 
I'm still pissed the refs took points off the board by missing that Parker was held during our drive for a FG.

14-7 makes a big difference vs 14-3.

that was bad. He jerked him as he turned and he couldn't get his hands out.
