We won the game and the TD was after the fact but apparntly the refs admitted they were wrong. I am not whining because we lost a TD or whatnot. I am whining because there were a lot of questionable calls on us yet San Diego strangely got off the hook (Harrison was being held constantly). I big deal was made about the spread afterwards and many of us conspiracy theorists believe the NFL is targeting the Steelers on penalties and fines................what do you think of this situation now the refs have admitted they were wrong?

I couldnt figure out where the foward pass was. No matter how many times they showed the replay there was no foward pass. Call me paraniod but i think the refs hate us.

LMAO
Its the only thing I can do. I was so pissed watching that game. Every time we got our momentum a penalty was called. I don’t know I wasn’t there, but seriously WTF on the PI call? Can someone explain that to me. Second yeah how the F was that a foward pass when the ball is going backward ten yards?
Read the Post Game Quotes at Steelers.com….to see the press conference is even better but Tomlin was hilarious. He just came straight out gave his opening statements and at the the end said blatantly he would not talk about the officiating.
Officiating has been extremely low this year throughout the league…its a shame.

i was just as baffled as you were on that Taylor PI call
Sometime where there is a penalty against someone I try to see the other side and understand why the ref called it. Sometimes I see why though I still disagree with it. But in this instance, there is no way that was pass interference. If it was anything it would be offensive PI. That call was a sham, a mockery, and a travesty…………it was a travashamockery,

refs admit mistake, but heres why im pissed. 7th tiebreaker is point differential. probably would not come to that, but thats BS that its on the table as a possibility

If the refs admit they are wrong
it shoud be fair play to be able to talk about it without fear of a fine.

Yea those refs were trigger happy.
13 Steeler penalties to 2 Charger penalties…where’s that raven blogger? He’s too scared to show his face after we gained a game lead.
Also, if the NFL determines that the call was wrong, which it was, they should give the Steelers the 17, and Troy a Defensive TD.
To the tune of the classic children's song "This Old Man" (the part with nick nack patty whack)
Big Snack, Silverback, take the Dawg Pound's Bone, the Black and Gold sent the Brownies crying home.

Be tough coming up in here saying anything after Jacobs abused that D on the goalline and Ward was breaking ankles as he sliced through that D.

Tomlin doing the right thing in keeping his mouth shut..
You can’t win a war with the refs or the league. I’m sure they remember his surly mug screaming at them pointlessly for 5 minutes on prime time, in High Def, and larger than life, just a couple weeks back.

Here's a thought
This is a situation where the league should be able to put the points back on the board. As the last play, it would have no bearing whatsoever on further conduct of the game because there would be no further play.

It's too late for that....
Vegas already paid of people who had the Chargers with the points. I don’t think they are in the habit of paying off twice. Also, if you think NFL dowa not care about betting you’re crazy.

100 million dollars bet on that game...
64 million dollar swing to bookies on that call!

I agree with you though...
we shoudl get the points, Like blitz, pointed out earlier, it could (not likely) matter in tie-breaker situation.

If it had mattered they would have gotten it
If it would have won somebody the game Im sure they would have put extra effort into reading it correctly. Obviously they didnt care.
But I did have to wonder if the refs were on the same plane the Chargers took to get here.
I mean you can hold 92 every other play but god forbid you call it. But you can call 2 on the best WR in the NFL.
