It would be so cool...

Re: It would be so cool...

It is getting so bad, my wife is questioning why aren't there penalties for all the hits Ben takes.

It appears that only suspended QBs don't get calls. Last night, Vick got pushed/knocked down from behind while running out of bounds. Reid was livid, no flag. The play looked worst than the one on Suh last week.

every QB except Ben and Vick will get the flags..

I watched some of the game last night and the hits they showed on Vick were crazy.

It's like the NFL has a bounty on these 2 QB's heads.

I think we as fans would be wise to remember that everytime we buy something with the NFL logo that we are supporting current administration. I suggest no more purchases until they bring the game back to the fans.

That's good in theory, however, you and I both know that it will never happen. And, the current generation of football fans may actually like the video game football they are watching rather than the Ravens vs Steelers last week.

That's funny RK because my wife has said basically the same thing. She wants to know why the refs hate us now.

I tell her because of Ben's off season antics and some of Harrison's comments we are known as the 'Bad Boys' now. Much like Oakland used to be known as. Face it folks, we are going to have to win despite the inequities calling penalties.

Well I am 21 years old, born in 1989, and I guess i might fall into the "current generation", but I certainly do not enjoy what I am seeing as far as how the rules are changing. I LOVE games such as last weeks sunday night game against the ravens. I grew up in a bar full of steelers fans every sunday as a kid till my late teens. Pittsburgh Steelers football is a great influence on my life. I feel the same about the Penguins and Pirates as well...


GO STEELERS!!!!!!

My girlfriend wasn't much of a football fan when we got together last year in october. But I have since got her into the game quite a bit and she can even see that something is not right.

As far as having to win despite of the penalties, I only got one thing to say..... @#%& EM' ALL!!!! GO STEELERS!!!!!!!

Steelers fans are typically an exception to this rule... so don't take offense.

The "Us Against The World" mentality is a powerful thing.

Or, if you prefer, we could "Rage Against The Machine" instead.
