was in a different room, but heard it. I am probably the only one that has hated those stupid commercials since they started. I am sure Pburgh folks hated that. Maybe a hood case of SIDS could finish that baby! (opps…did I say that!)

Did you see the AFC pregame show? Missed the first part because of the NFC game. But would you think it was another example of pouncing if said I’d like to shove a spoonful of Cheerios in that ETrade baby’s mouth? Blind squirrel … pfftt

First I think you can write “jerks” out. I can take it. I have been called worse.

What individual call did I say went against the Ravens? I must have missed which one. Why? Because I did not point to one.

Before you roast me just because I am the enemy, you should read all my posts. I have stated time and again whining about calls and pointing to stats are for losers. The point is you have to win anyway. And we did not. A Steeler fan said (and I agree) you have to overcome getting a bad call. We did not get past them.

The point of my post in this category is all teams submit plays and video to the league pointing out issues. It is the only formal avenue they have. If you complain outwardly, you get fined. My point in pointing out the situation with Cowher is showing your team too has complained. Ok, so he was right (happy Deb!). He still whined. You all complained after the “no calls” in the 2nd game Ravens Steelers game this year. And to your team’s credit, you all made a play at the end and won despite the missed calls.

You all are so quick to pounce on anything that puts your beloved team in a negative light. You all have a nice team and a wonderful track record. But if you want to use the word “jerk”, you could look at your own fans for the best examples. If my team had your team’s track record, I would be so above all the chirping you all do. That’s called class! You all have the track record and the wins, but no class. Too bad.

Aw, you’re not gonna hold that Joey thing against me, are you?? Still don’t understand that. “Love me, love my snarling, loudmouth, smacktalking ex-linebacker” … weird.

Don’t mind me, I’m just knee-jerking. You’re right … these guys love to wind us up. What I’d really like, though, is for the league to ditch the challenge system and shift to the NCAA booth-review system so every play can be checked in real time … when it counts.

Hey, all teams submit calls for review. You think with Harrison’s issues this year the Steelers didn’t submit things all year about them? Or, I am also willing to bet after Steelers Ravens Game 2 you all submitted a few gripes about non-calls in that game. Don’t ya think? Come on about the whining crap.

I am personally on the record all over PFT saying you all won, fair and square, no gripes about calls. Very few Raven fans have shown to even take their lumps. Your brethern keep getting ticked at the mere presence of these PFT headlines. That is not the Ravens fault.

Don’t tell me you are losing your objectivity also. My hope for one last sane Steeler fan is waning. But then there is that Joey Porter thing that made me have my doubts anyway.

You need to reconsider the psychological approach I mentioned about your fan base. It has definte merit.

The reason some fans including myself bring up certain plays called or not called that should have benefited the Steelers is not to complain but rather to show the calls and non-calls go both ways. Je*ks like you love to only point out the ones that benefit your point of view.

Tell me why Ben was hit in the head twice by the Ravens in the game when he broke his nose and there were no flags? Also why so many holds not called when James Harrison is being held flagrantly? Why are the Jets allowed to hold our receivers with no flags? Why do idio*s like yourself challenge a TD that obviously broke the plane? Oh I know. LOSERS.

The difference is the photo in Cowher’s hand showed that the refs missed the call. So the league changed the rules to make too many men on the field reviewable … it’s nicknamed “The Cowher Rule.”

As for the rest of your bunk … nice try LOL The sad truth is that I’ve always respected the Ravens and am shocked to realize they’re such Wendy Whiners. Poor Babies

… and you’ll see that all of the “controversial” calls that people complain about were correctly called except for the low block.

The more people moan about Super Bowl 40, the better the win feels. No one can accept that the 6th seed won. Deal with it.

Steeler fans have come out defending calls even when no one from Baltimore was complaining. I do believe from a psychological standpoint, they know they benefited from calls and have taken the approach the best defense is a smack talk offense. (Conscience getting the best of them)

It’s ok. We know you know the truth. We won’t tell anybody.

This is a very good point.

The most common theme about Cowher’s great teams during this time was they never made the plays when it mattered. They choked away numerous AFCC games at home, choked in a SB appearance, and Cowher was always happy to play the victim and point out injustices.

It wasn’t until the end of Cowher’s career in Pittsburgh when he finally learned the message you send to your team when you pull this kind of crap.

In 2005, on the sidelines after Polamalu intercepted Manning and while the play was under review, he told the defense that they can’t control what will happen and to get ready to get back on the field. The call was overturned, and the Steelers defense ended up posting 2 huge stops to overcome and win the game.

You all call it whining if its not your team. When its your team its passion, justice, or whatever BS you want to call it.

Make no mistake, the Steelers won fair and square. Personally, I did not see the issue with this play at all. But don’t act like teams don’t send in plays to the league offices all the time. You’re naive if you think otherwise.

Or even the Jets. (And yes, they beat them in Week 1. They would not beat them now).

Raven

This is why Baltimore will NEVER win the big one again. They will always focus outwards and never learn to improve within.

Why make any effort to improve if all you need are better calls from the Refs?
