Care to revisit your claim Mr. Tuck, after Sunday’s disgusting display of ref favoritism toward your team?

Every fan of every other team always agrees that the Steelers get more calls an non-calls that it is unbelievable. They literally had a Superbowl handed to them.

I still think the GIANTS win, and unfortunately I cannot watch this game, due to business travel tomorrow, but I am sure it will not be called fair and down the middle.

When the Giants tell the media that you get away with murder it’s code for the Giants are going to murder you.

I’m a 49er fan, but I do like the giants. I wished they’d shut up every now and again

Somebody said it above, and it’s true. We’ve been watching James Harrison get mugged for years — the holding is a joke. Yet you never once heard Harrison whine in public about it. Take a lesson in manhood, Tuck.
—————-

Because he would immediately get raked over the coals for his dirty play, Harrison.

And Tuck wasn’t whining, he was answering a LEADING QUESTION about the assertion from a beat writer. Tuck doesn’t whine, boys.

Prediction: there will not be any penalties in this game.. both of these teams get away with holding , pushing off, constantly. They both are the Cowboys of the 90s.
—————-

I’ll tease that with about 5 points and put $1,500 on that not hitting. 2-3 Giants drives PER GAME are stalled because of a holding call on William Beatty.

Nice try.

The Steelers are among the leaders, along with New England, New Orleans, San Francisco and Dallas with getting away with offensive line holding.

What he said is true, as much as Steeler fans like to act like it isn’t factual.

@mostlombardisintheleague – clearly you don’t pay attention to the NFC. The Giants always make no-name RBs look like Walter Payton.

Everyone knows the NFL and their officials protect the Steelers. We finally had a referee admit last year that he all but gave the Steelers a Super Bowl. The Seahawks won that game!!!

From a Ravens fan. This argument is so, so old. If Seattle would have won they would have the trophy. Grow up.

Tuck is spot on, Steelers are a joke. After this week, they will be a .500 team again, pathetic. Enjoy steeler nation.

From a die hard fellow Ravens Fan. Just shut up already with the Steelers are this and that. What are you 5 years old!

I may not like the Steelers, but as a Ravens fan if you can’t respect them, then you are not a true football fan. We are who we are as an organization because of the Steelers. We had to match them in talent and intensity or we would be down with the Browns and Bengals! For that I thank the Steelers and the Rooneys.

I’m actually surprised that no one from an opposing team hasn’t complained about Roethlisberger throwing passes after he’s beyond the line of scrimmage.
I’ve seen Roethlisberger give “extending plays” a whole new meaning at least twice this season. Those “long extentions” really come handy when converting third-and-longs. Roethlisberger is the best in the league at it…

Gettin pretty tired of the Giants whining every week about respect, game clock, refs, opponents, etc.

They got away with murder vs. the Redskins when the refs took 11 points off the board on horrible calls.

Ask the 49ers if they got away with murder last year when the Bradshaw “non-fumble” kept the Giants from losing the NFC champ.

You know what really is murder? Having your team owner be the head of a competition committee that docks a division rival $18M cause they didn’t engage in collusion and DIDN’T break any rules (as the NFL openly admitted).

Would love to see how the Giants looked $18M short this year and couldn’t pay these salaries:

Eli $1.75M
Tuck $3.2M
Osi $2.5M
JPP $1M
Cruz $500K
Bradshaw $3M
Bennett $2.5M
Prince $750K
Blackburn $1M
Nicks $750K
Kiwi $1M

That’s how it goes when you’re the league’s pet.

This just in: Tom Brady has been traded to the NYG. He’s not playing QB, he’s backing up Jason Tuck.

Nice job Tuckster…you’re little media grenade is working to perfection! Already 100+ comments. I’m sure the refs will take notice that where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

When did the Giants become such a bunch of whiny batches? Between Tuck and Gilbride they could start a girl-scout troop. Maybe they should go watch tape of “Clutch-and-Grab” Snee dancing with his opponent, and then complain to the league about HIM too.

Whine on girls!

There’s a reson why Ben has so much time to throw, sometimes the o-line brings guys to the ground and it’s never called. They hook, hold and pull guys down with the best of them, just everyone else gets called for it and they don’t….they’re gonna miss the playoffs anyway, hope the Giants roll em

By: radrntn

radrntn — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:11:51 +0000

there is no doubt about that the steelers o-line not only holds , but actually pulls d-lineman to the ground, and never get called. They have been getting away with it for a good 4 -5 years right now.
Prior the most obvious guy on every play was Kemoeatu. Refs have to much impacts on the game..

Apparently the Giants don’t think they can win a game on the merits of their play, so they try to jack up the officials ahead of time in hopes they’ll throw a few extra flags in their favor. Well, that’s one way to tip the scales, Tuck.

After watching half a season it’s obvious that every team is getting away with murder. Every week, game in and game out, I see blatant holds and pass interference penalties NOT being called. What’s up with the refs, are they afraid to make calls since they came back?

You can’t cry about refs anymore after they handed you a win against the Packers. You can however enjoy watching the Hawks’ undefeated season play out on the HD TV in Pete Carroll’s head.

@vincentbojackson

Actually Justin Tuck is not an elite pass rusher. He’s trying to become an elite spokesman.
