Questionable Officiating

[flippy]

I thought the league was becoming more focused on player safety.

Seems there were a couple of unacceptable calls today.

Allen hit his head when tackled by Heyward. That should have had him checked.

Kenny tacking a hit on his slide was a blatant no cal.

Then the hit near his knee at the end of the game was another surprising no call especially when it comes against a QB.

After all the talk of player safety post the Tua hits, I would have expected more flags or caution if plays were even borderline.

DON'T go there after a beatdown like they had today.

Sorry. We suck. Fire everyone. Sell the team. Etc.

Better?

The hit on Kenny was a blatant missed call.

Besides that, I only saw one off sides that wasn't called on Buffalo

Josh didn't show any signs of a concussion after his hit. Guys hit their head on the turf on most plays.

It's one thing to blame the officials in a tight game that could go either way. It's a whole other one looking for excuses for bad execution in a loss.

So how is this any different than a typical Steeler's game?? The Steelers usually don't get calls...
Calling a game correctly only matters in a close game?? That's some misguided horsehockeypucks, right there....

Not sure why you would make that connection that bad officiating impacted the final result in this case.

This game wasn’t close to being close.

I only brought it up as a player safety issue.

The tackle on the slide I thought was okay because he started to tackle Pickett at the same time Pickett started to slide, no way to stop at that point.

On the low tackle, Pickett was outside the pocket so no foul.

Allen showed no signs of concussion, he was fine

The call that was missed and then Tomlin d8dnt throw a flag on was pickens' catch on the sideline, it looked like a catch to me.

Can't blame the officiating for this loss. The loss was a total cluster f*** offense defense and special teams. The loss was on the road. It won't happen every week. It's not easy to win games in the NFL.

It's not easy to win games in the NFL.

It's easier for like 28 more teams than the Steelers, who all have more than 1 win. Is it harder for the Pittsburgh Steelers for any particular reason?

Teams lose. Sometimes teams lose badly. This is the nature of sports. MMA I watched Usman dominate for 5 rounds. He got knocked out in the 5th round. Nunes?

I watched the Steelers lose when they were favored. I watched the Steelers win as underdogs. This is sports.

What to do about fans that don't learn this simple principle about sports?

I'm watching a 4 game losing streak, the latest being the worst and them sitting at the bottom of the league. That in itself is a principle.

Carry on with on with your principle without considering all the factors involved.

Questionable was a routine sack on Brady that was flagged for 15 yards. Not that we will get to Brady next week but expect a flag if we touch him.

I heard Brady once again talked them to the flag. Is that correct?
