Some random questions...

[royalshank]

1. How come we didn't challenge the 2 point play? Looked like both feet hit.

2. On the hit to head on Moore, and sissy flag on Ajai post whistle, how does the net-net favor Pitt there? Doesn't make any sense - even if that's by the book. 1st and 25? What?

3. Do people truly think Gase called a bad game? Personally I thought he called to win - the fake punt was genius at that moment. We were yelling "go for it" as it seemed like we absolutely needed points there.

4. How does Bell stand still for what feels like 5 minutes in the hole before taking off? Don't holes normally close up the longer the back waits?

5. How is VJ a "hot candidate" for a HC gig? We gave up the most yards in franchise history.

6. Why do we kick Onsides to the side that has Antonio Brown on it? Didn't we do the same thing in the fist NE game in kicking it to Gronk? Kick away from the best athlete on the field please.

7. Is no 48 going to get fined for his hit on Moore? Can someone please hit Brady like that?

8. Why no flag on the slant to Parker where the guy jerked him as he made his cut? That was a TD.

9. Who the hell is out sports science guy? Bill Nigh? What's he putting in these shakes that half our team is injured?

10. Is Tanny definitely NOT going to need surgery?

To your #1 question it looked to me like the one foot was in however, before the second foot came down the first foot touched out of bounds. Don't think we get that play.

The Ref questions who knows what the league told the refs. One things for sure that they called a game slanted towards the Steelers.

Ah i didn't catch that w the feet. Did not like the flag on Ajai after he watched his QB take a vicious cheap shot. And how that all worked in Pitt favor was weird.

Yeah I still don't know how we came out of that with a 1st and 25. A few plays later Heyward-Bey is pushing, punching and screaming and not a single flag is dropped.

Every game so far has been slanted towards the home team in the playoffs.

Not shocking really. Haven't watched any other games because I have been working. But it seems to me like all sports in the world the home team will always get the calls. Except Miami teams or anyone that plays the Pats.

BINGO! I think last year most if not all the home teams lost in the wildcard round. The NFL doesn't want to reward the teams with home field advantage with a loss. After all they got home field because they were the better team, right?

I'm thinking the original hit was a 15 yard against pitt. so spot the ball, 1st and 10 us. Ajay push is a dead ball foul, 15 yards, so....1st and 25. bullsh!t

I forgot about Tanenbaums pet project sports science nonsense and special player specific shakes. Lol. They must have mixed up the player recipes to get half our team on IR.

1. His toe scrapped out of bounds before anything else hit.

2. The flag for the shot to the head was already thrown. Ajayi was a late secondary reaction that the refs had to defuse. I know you want to take up for your QB, but gotta keep your cool there.

3. I thought Gase called a good game. After the first two TD's Miami was right back in the game. Mistakes cost the game, not the game plan on offense or defense. Fumbles, interceptions, missed tackles lost the game...

4. Steelers O Line was "HOLDING" their blocks. Miami couldn't get off of them and get any penetration. They were also using six offensive linemen most of the game.

5. Considering what VJ had to work with before the season started, then as the injuries racked up, he did a good job. They gave up a lot of yards, but for most of the season they didn't give up points. I actually hope he doesn't get a job because I would like to see what he can do with a full deck, or at least a mostly full one. However, I almost expect him to go to Denver and bring McCoy in as his OC.

6. Good question, I didn't get that either

7. Marcus Dupree. He may get two fines as he hit Moore in the head earlier that wasn't called. I thought he should have been ejected for targeting on the second one.

8. They missed it, there were several missed. Pitt held a lot, had blockers downfield, receivers blocking before the ball was thrown...

10. Is Tanny definitely NOT going to need surgery?

1) looked like the right foot was out of bounds before the left one came down

2) baffles me too. it was a dead ball penalty. shouldn't have any effect on down and distance

3) i think Gase called a good game, but good doesn't awlays win in the playoffs

4) holes in the NFL are a fluid thing. they close and open up somewhere else. Bell is just masterful at waiting and hitting the right hole

5) consider the personell he had to deal with

6) Gronk wasn't playing against us, but i guess you practice one version of an onside kick and then kick it to that side whoever is there for the receiving team. Brown had some drops throughout the game anyway

7) probably. he led with the crown of the helmet. that should be a fine.

8) the refs weren't in our favour yesterday, but it is what it is. we had other scoring chances and blew them

9) no idea

10) again, no idea
