Re: The call on Deebo
I stopped this video at 30 seconds. It shows the initial contact. Harrison's facemask is in the QB's chest and his hands are forward too. If the crown of his helmet is the top of his head, I don't see that evidence there. It looks like a good hit to me. That flag came in quick, like an impulse call, not a deliberative call.Originally posted by Flasteel

Re: The call on Deebo
I get that no amount of bitching is going to change the call that was made. But after viewing the second video, I'd say this is a highly questionable call.Originally posted by Shoe
Maybe Harrison's style of play has drawn attention to himself (as evidenced by the quick flag), but here's one thing we've learned about late hits on the quarterback. If you're flagged for it in the game, you will get a fine if it's legit. Harrison received no fine last week, which tells me the league viewed that hit as legal - despite the penalty.
He was screwed in last week's and my gut tells me the league will let us know that he was screwed here too.sigpic

Re: The call on Deebo
I'm not even talking about bitching about a call... hell, as soon as I saw that call, I did that exact thing (texting a bunch of friends about it). But you and the original TS (who said it's top 5 worst all-time calls... apparently this guy was born in 2006 and missed the Pete Morelli call) seem to be saying you have no clue why a flag was thrown, and that I don't agree with.
I would say that the hold call on Kemo that negated Mendenhall's run was more inexpicable. We all know how much they protect QBs. We know that when you tend to blast into the QB, you run a large risk of drawing a flag. That's just the way the NFL is these days.I wasn't hired for my disposition.Comment

No way it's in my all-time top 5. I've seen 5 worse calls this year alone.
Still a bad call, and bad calls keep coming each week.sigpic

Re: The call on Deebo
Im starting to hope there is no football next year if the players dont INSIST on a reasonable penalty and fine process for tackling. It has to be simple and applicable to all players. I would be a proponent of a Spearing or Nothing rule.
What is going on now..."I dont even want to talk about it."sigpic

Re: The call on Deebo
They flagged the man last week for basically hitting another grown man to hard. Why are we surprised at how fast the Ref Grabbed for his flag. The Ref saw how fast James was coming, he knew it was going to be a hard shot. In this League that is a No No..Comment

Re: The call on Deebo
Harrison pleads innocent on latest hit
By Scott Brown, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Monday, November 29, 2010
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- James Harrison said he did nothing wrong on the play that resulted in a personal foul penalty yesterday and will be reviewed by the NFL this week.
The Steelers' outside linebacker said some unlikely sources will back up his claim that he made a legal hit when he belted Ryan Fitzpatrick in the chest as the Bills quarterback released a pass in the Steelers' 19-16 overtime win.
"The whole (Bills') offensive line," Harrison said. "Ain't never had that one. That's a first."
Harrison said he does not expect the NFL to fine him for the play. His greater concern is that such a penalty will eventually cost the Steelers a game.
Yesterday's game pivoted a couple of plays after Harrison was called for roughing the passer for the third time in the past five weeks.
The Steelers were leading, 13-0, and firmly in control before Fred Jackson caught a slant pass and turned it into a 65-yard touchdown. Three plays earlier, Harrison slammed into Fitzpatrick on second-and-10 from the Bills' 20-yard line.
He was penalized for leading with his helmet on the hit.
"They're making these calls and when it comes down to it, it's a possibility that it could cost us the game," Harrison said.
Harrison and coach Mike Tomlin were clearly upset about the call after it happened.
Tomlin did not comment on the officiating after the Steelers had to sweat out their eighth win of the season.
"I'm not even going to talk about it," he said.
Harrison said just as with Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell a week earlier, he made sure he did not land on Fitzpatrick.
He did not get fined for his roughing-the-passer penalty against the Raiders. The three-time Pro Bowler said he should not have been flagged for it yesterday.
"I guess referees are getting to a point where they're afraid not to make a call," Harrison said.
