Guess all your whining reached the ears of the refs. And yet you STILL couldn’t win despite all the bad calls that went your way.

Time to replace that salsa music they play for Cruz with a loud recording of a baby crying.

Woodley is our 4th best starting LB and he has hamstring issues because he’s overweight. He’s the most overrated Steeler since Jason Gildon

Every player gets away with a few a game. Veterans know how to get away with it. Tony Gonzalez pushes off on a lot of in-zone tds. Penalties that don’t get called basically never happened. Do the Giants expect the refs to pay extra attention because of all the comments?

And if the Giants beat the Steelers, will you be here after the game? Didn’t think so.

Really? You’re telling Steeler fans about how all your team does is win Super Bowls?

I hate to break it to you but the Steelers have more than anyone else, and the Giants aren’t even in second place. You’re tied for 4th behind the 49ers and the Cowboys as well.

Your team has won a couple lately, but this year all you seem to do is whine.

“Been saying Steelers games have been rigged for years and every year we get more evidence.”

Evidence like the Steelers leading the league in penalties against, with the rule in question?

Do you how annoying it is for me to have to defend the Steelers as a 49er fan? This whining and conspiracy theorizing have put me in an unfortunate and awkward position.

Hopefully the Giants players and coaches quit their complaining for a while, and Giant fans can at least make their trash talk make sense.

I have never, ever seen a Steelers game that was called down the middle, ever.

That being said, the GIANTS have to go out and put a 35-spot on the Steelers.

Start by lining up Cruz or Nicks against Ike Taylor on EVERY play. Ike Taylor cannot cover and he is a penalty machine.

During the Dallas game last week Cruz was looking for a flag after every play he didn’t make a catch. It’s lame. I’d certainly expect more then complaining out of Tuck, he’s usually one of the classiest and straightforward players in the NFL. The Giants had a slogan “Talk is cheap, play the game”, now go do it GMen.

The Giants are 100% right. I guess it’s merely a coincidence that the Steelers went 1-2 with the replacements before getting “their refs” back and suddenly “going on a roll.” Anyone who has watched this team could have seen it coming.

Granted they should just shut up and play but the league and the refs should be reveiwing the same game tape and making corrections, shouldn’t they? The bottom line is often times the replacement refs were calling much more of these offenses but the regular refs don’t won’t to slow down the game so they let alot of it go. So it pays for team to basically cheat on every single play knowing that the refs aren’t going to call it everytime. And I’m sure this goes well beyond the Steelers, I’m sure many teams in the league employ the same strategy, yes even the giants. I know the jets DB do and the Pats OL work this policy to death. So now I’ve pissed of 4 team’s fans ha ha!

The Jets are being more quiet than the Giants are, and that’s pathetic. Shut up and play the game, the refs will call what they see.
