Now that it's over, what were you yelling on that last play?

I was standing in the middle of the bar repeating,"That was a forward lateral. Why did they not throw a flag?"
 
Scared my dog upstairs. I stood up cheering with my hands in the air as the last play happened then I stood there in shock with my hands in the air & mouth open as he went into the end zone & looked back at my wife like someone killed our dog. Then when they said he was out I fell on my couch

I was calmed actually cause knew there was going to be a flag for a forward lateral then couldn't believe t when there wasn't one.

Ozzy rules!!
 
I was driving down the Taconic Parkway and listening to the Steelers radio call on SiriusXM. I wasn't yelling...but I was grabbing my balls when the play was being called. Then I heard that he stepped out of bounds, the Steelers announcers were saying the game was over and I put both hands on the wheel.

In retrospect, it was the most action I've had in weeks.

I'm thinking..."You have GOT to be F#$(#)ing kidding me!!" Then after ruled out of bounds, still had mixed emotions lol but happy nevertheless
 
Ok...one play. That's all we need. One play.

Come on, tackle him. Get this crap over with...

Enough of this lateral crap! Let's end this thing!

MOVE YOUR A--! Jesus! Come on !

Where the hell did Roethlis come from? Wtf , no WAY that wasn't forward! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Ok , those two will catch him. He's trapped on the sideline...

...

WHAT THE F--- ARE YOU DOING!!!! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THAT ANGLE!!!?? CLEMONS, YOU F---ING A------! WTF ARE YOU DOING????!!!

THIS S--- ALWAYS HAPPENS! HOW CAN WE LOSE THIS S--- AGAIN?

NO FLAG??? Are you serious!!??? They seriously just won the game on that S---!?

(Then they announce he stepped out)

Oh Jesus. THANK GOD! OH MY GOD. We NEVER do it the easy way .

..Clemons, you F------ dumb a--. WTF WAS THAT!!!

(That went on for about another 15 minutes as I rewound it a few times.

Phew!
 
As a Bama guy,I was yelling"F***" not again!!!!!
 
To be honest, I was screaming at the TV over our last possession. Deep into their territory, and Sherman called the most vanilla/conservative play calling ever! Go for the damn jugular! Instill a KILLER instinct! Score a damn touchdown and make that runback redundant.

That is what infuriates me about this team. Not playing to WIN and not to lose. And it almost bit them in the ASS!
 
I literally went through a time gateway......from yelling to my vision starting to blur out to not really knowing if I was conscious until my son was screaming at me that we won we won!! I didn't believe him for a couple of minutes until my soul came back into my buddy and of course him freezing the TV on the final score.
 
"wtf is this? stop them stop him stoppppppp himmm someone stop himmmm noooo noooooooooo!!!" that was sickening...

I was thinking...well I've got my 6.5 wins...and there go my 6.5 wins...who do we play next?

Actually I was screaming at the defense for being so passive. Everybody on the field was incompetent. Nobody attacked at all. You're supposed to destroy a play like that at every intersection. There should be greater opportunity for the defense to score than the offense, like the Oklahoma/Oklahoma State game the other day. The Sooners played it properly and obliterated the play.

We didn't even have the Alabama excuse of special teams lugs. These were our regular defenders out there, each one lounging around as if the play didn't count. It was even more sickening every time I watched the replay. Grimes was passive. Jordan was passive. Jones stood around until it was too late. Then Clemons was stuck and at the mercy of Brown.

Frankly, we were fortunate not to surrender a touchdown on the last play of the first half also. That play ended at the Dolphin 40. If the Steelers had looked right there was a lateral available and that play could have scored.

Anybody who thinks a replay review would have saved the Dolphins via forward lateral is out of their mind. I've seen that theme in this thread several times. KTOWN is the only one who described the situation accurately. Roethlisberger leaned well forward and had his arm and hand fully extended. His body position is irrelevant. The ball traveled virtually parallel. There was an official standing right there on the sideline. On a play like that there is extreme benefit of a doubt to not make the call. The officials aren't going to nitpick inches. That was evident in the Music City Miracle play and several other examples. It's no different than when it's uncertain if a quarterback threw the ball from beyond the line of scrimmage. It has to be blatant.

Let's face it, we were the beneficiaries of an extreme lucky break. Brown essentially juked Clemons when it wasn't necessary and his momentum to the outside was just enough to carry his foot an inch out of bounds. Instead of a self inflicted joke loss that would have been replayed countless times over the decades, we can savor the victory and the 6.5 and pretend none of this ever happened.

BTW, we also scored 30+ points. That's enough for Christmas music by itself.

I agree if brown doesnt step out of bounds ,the refs dont dare to say it was a forward pass and we lose.
 
I was screaming/swearing/jumping/punching the couch the whole game, ups and downs like usual.

Then when that play happened I sat there speechless and as they lateralled it across the field like a hot potato and our D players looking like they already walked off the field, I thought to myself this doesn't look good. I knew at one point it was a forward lateral but I couldn't speak, I was in trauma. My girlfriend who showed up 30 minutes before was watching with me and had the nerve at the point to say "did they just lose?" I looked at her and wanted to say some horrible things. Instead I said quietly and calmly, "Well at least I covered the spread". Then I looked back at the t.v. and said "no way he just stepped out. Please be true." Then they showed the replay and I was like "hells yah!"
