Am i crazy or did anyone else notice a lack of calls against the steelers. The officiating in this league always favors super bowl winners, superstar quarterbacks, and upper echelon teams. disparity in the calls.....Steelers had only one penalty called against them. Dolphins six penalties called against us.
Granted,The steelers are a well disciplined team but come on. I know I saw at least a couple plays where our pass rushers somehow ended up on the ground. If thats not holding what flipping is!

I was also very dissapointed in Saban's defensive skeme's. How the heck was Charlie Batch able to pick us apart like he did. Also on a crucial 4th down and short early in the game the steelers made a crucial conversion. I blame Jason Taylor and I think he has really lost his touch. On that particular play he was soley responsible for the weak side, and he didn't stay home, allowing Parker to easily make a dash for the sidelines. So he got one sack, he used to be a player defenses had to double team. With our lack of pass rush it might be time to start looking at getting a new stud defensive end. Nothing our defense did worked. our blist packages were almost always picked up allowing time for Batch find the open reciever. I know it's early in the season, but does our have any ability to stop the play action pass, I think not or else a TE(and not an especially fast one) wouldn't have turned a first down into 80+ yards. Saban has a lot of work to do or this is going to be a real long season.

HOW ARE WE EVER GOING TO COMPETE FOR THIS DIVISION IF WE CAN"T BEAT A SECOND STRING QUARTERBACK!!!!!
 
Don't be that guy that crys about the officials. I feel it's classless.
Calls go as they go.

Edit: Post #7....Never mind.
 
I was our own mistakes and the Steeler's D that lost us the game, not the refs, and not Charlie Batch.
 
I'm not blaming the loss on the refs at all, but I also noticed the lack of holding calls. I think the thread starter is dead on about the upper echelon teams getting favorable calls. New England, Pittsburgh, Dallas have always gotten favoritism and it shows. As far as drafting a stud DE i think Roth has huge upside. Taylor is still a stud and shouldn't be blamed for the loss. The Steelers have one of the best o-lines in the game and JT cant do it singlehandedly!Not a very fast TE???? Miller sure looked the part going down the sideline. He blew Zach away and was barely caught by Allen(I think it was Allen), looked pretty fast to me. Bottom line is its one game against the SB Champs and there were facets of the Phins that I was very impressed with. The O-line was very good imo and Brown did a pretty good job finding what room there was to run. This team will be fine.
 
I'm sure that we all felt fortunate that Miami was catching Pittsburgh at a 'good' time with Ben being out, but I'm starting to wonder if Pittsburgh didn't feel fortunate to catch Miami at a 'good' time before it's offense (and secondary) got in synch. Miami played well enough to beat Pittsburgh and if Culpepper had more experience in this system with these players they would have won.
 
I guess you missed the 35 yard pass interference no-call on Tillman? the one that directly set up Miami's first TD?
 
Blaming the officials are for crybabies. Two TD's by Batch were on broken coverage's, go blame the coaches and players, not the officials.
 
we didnt lose to a backup qb!!!!!!!!!!, we lost to the defending champions, defense, special teams, and everything else, batch didnt win the game, he just didnt lose it.
 
Yep..Super Bowl teams have always gotten the calls and we have not won since 1972..so we can't say anything about the officials!
 
Fact is home teams get those kinds of calls....thats just the nature of the beast and players and coaches know that..thats one of the reasons its so hard to win on the road.

My biggest complaint was all the blocking in the back calls the refs missed. on those screen passes the O-line were killing our guys in the back and no calls were made.

I would have to call this as true. On two plays in particular, the 4 and 1 run and especially the double reverse, Heinz Ward Tackles the CB...no call?

Of course the TD, not only was the TE WAY out of bounds, but his knee bounced off the turf at the 2:shakeno:. Just a carry on of the superbowl IMO.....

I would actually hate to be Steeler fan, cause you know whenever the SB comes up, so does the conspiracy......
 
the refs suck all the time, they handed the steelers the bowl vs seattle, they are all 70 years old because the league wants it that way

I agree on the lack of penalties. On several occasions on my tvo i went back and looked at 8 diffrent blocks in the backs against our D-line. They all ended up on th floor. Wich were not called.

On the other hand i don't agree with what you said about Taylor. I DO HAVE MY Own TAKE ON IT. I THINK THAT JT IS NOT REALLY CONFORTABLE IN THAT SYSTEM. He does look lost and out of place at times, wich makes me wonder if that system really sutes him. He is a great pass rusher on a 4-3 scheme, i belive that's the best part of his game. In this sytem he is everywhere. I don't know i hope he figures it out.:fire: :tantrum: :mad: :refuse: :confused: :evil:
