Will Tomlin be sending a video to the league again after this weeks officiating?

I was going to start a new thread on it, but since it is not strictly Steelers, I will bury it here.

Is it just me or do the Harbaugh brothers jaw at the refs more than any other coaches in the league?!? It absolutely drives me nuts to see them yapping in the ear of these officials after every single play!

My BP goes up about a million points when I just see a photo of either of those two guys, and if there's film, I basically look for something to throw at the TV. They are so WHINY it is repulsive. It rubs off on the rest of the team ... Flacco is jerking his right hand around to call for a penalty as much as he uses it to throw the ball. There ought to be a rule like in basketball where if you complain you get a technical.


Another thing - is that how we want our kids to learn to play ... yell, pout, whine, scream when the play doesn't go their way?

Ravens are livid over the offensive pass interference that wiped out the game winning TD. Steelers defensive backs played very physical today and could have had several more PIs called.
I personally like the way the games are being officiated. Really can't stand the pitch-and-catch league Goodell has tried to create.

The Ravens find something to whine about after every loss. They never look within their own lockerroom. They played dirty the entire game so it is fitting if they did get beat by a flag. The Ravens are pro's at diving at the opponents legs or just getting that extra little cheap shot in after plays. Watch the first two plays of the game where their defensive players were diving at Vick's legs.

F Harbaugh's whiney as5 and F the Ravens.

Not a whiner, but the phantom interference calls were mind bogglin.
Especially after watching Cromartie hold a receivers jersey on every other play.
What was the call on the Clark hit?
Moron threw a flag and then didnt know what to call so they flag Ike for PI?
That was bad and I'm glad it didnt effect the outcome of the game.

He threw the flag on Clark's hit because it was a big hit. These guys have been so sensitized to the whole safety issue that even with a completely legal big hit like that there is an almost automated reponse to throw a flag. I'll bet that on Landry's hit on Brown where Brown made the phenomenal leaping catch that if Brown wasn't up in the air that would have been a flag too.

That flag on Clark is the classic example where our reputation hurts us and everytime one of our players complains about the rules it just reinforces that image.

That is my perception too. Throw enough stuff at the wall and some of it is bound to stick. They cover the wall in it.

Are we talking about the hit on Sanchez? I was livid at the call too, but you CANNOT hit the QB in the head with anything. The rules are rules. I know it's tough the get your head in the right position when at full speed, but he did hit him in the head with his helmet. 5 years ago a no call. The rules have changed.

Agreed. Just once I'd like to hear them say "We got beat by the better team today." It'll never happen. They'll never concede their team got beat because they played bad. They and now most of their players are always looking to blame anyone, but themselves. The entire organization is a joke in that respect.
As much as it will pain me, gonna have to root for the Cheats next week. Either way, either the *Pats or Rats will be 1-2 after next week's game.
