View Full Version : The Pittsburgh Steelers got screwed
Three'sCompanyrules 01-11-2003, 09:59 PM The Pittsburgh Steelers got screwed in there playoff game against the Tennesse very lucky Titans. The Tennesee Titans are very overrated team and won't make it past next week. My basement is a mess after this game. Referee Ron Blum better be looking for a new job next year because he certinly won't be an NFL official. Tennesee is nothing without Steve McNair.now I will say he is a good qb,but what else does the team have. I hate the titans coach jeff fisher he is an overated coach. There now I got that off my chest I feel much better than I did abput 30 minutes ago. On a side note I once kicked a hole in mywall during a Nebraska game which NU did win,but I was so upset about a call. I don't quite get that angry now but this game just ticked me off.
bandito 01-11-2003, 11:31 PM well, im a steeler fan also i didnt agree with that running into the kicker call i think it was lame. but the bottom line is the defense didnt play well enough to win as theyve proved all year. they just had too many key players injured. they had a good season next year it will be even better! :D

Well that's not good! :lol: Glad to hear you don't get quite as upset anymore. You know some scientists in Europe studied the heart attack and stroke rates following soccer matches and found a correlation between people who got excited over the games and having medical problems....
Anyhoo....yes, I was disappointed that Pittsburgh didn't win too. I'm not sure how that penalty of roughing the kicker goes, but it looks to me like he just couldn't stop his momentum, not that he purposely rough him up. I don't know if that would make any difference though anyway. Pittsburgh is a better team with better players, IMO, and I think if this was college-rules ball where the Steelers got a touch, they probably would have won.
Brian 01-11-2003, 11:59 PM The Steelers coach was livid after that call. I haven't seen the game and the play completely, so I can't make a judgement there but you should have seen him yelling at the officials.
Three'sCompanyrules 01-12-2003, 05:16 AM I know the Coach Cowher was very upset, I would be very upset also if I was the coach. Referee Ron Blum should be fired IMO. As far as the roughing the kicker goes at that point in the game they should have let them play the game,then what really ticked me off is when the referee didn't give the steelers the timeout before Joe nedney made the game winning field goal. I think the steelers will be back next year and I hope its a Steelers vs Vikings superbowl next year!
You are right Bootsy whoosh That was not good:lol: and my parents weren't that pleased either. That game was about 3 years ago and when I was mad at that call I got all red and started shaking although I was too mad to think about that, I think I'm ok when I watch games with my friends,but when I watched games by myself I could get really really mad, but now that I know what can happen to me if I get really upset and that a game is just a game I don't quite get as upset,although I do get upset sometime its just part of being a fan.

Well it just goes to show that when you win by luck the previous week like Pittsburgh did against Cleveland, it will catch up with you the following week-LOL LOL LOL LOL-THE STEELERS ARE HOME!!!!!!!!

The worst part of it all to you Steeler fans was that the field goal kicker for Tennesse admitted he was acting when the guy from the steelers ran into him. what a shame-LOL
*Melissa* 01-12-2003, 01:00 PM Yes, the Steelers were ripped off. They weren't playing well in the first place, but they could have had another chance.
Shove it, Solomon.

Yes, that pissed me off. Sure it was a good decision by him to get the penalty after he made such a crappy kick (and the fireworks had already been set off LOL) but when you get 3 shots you should be able to make one of them.
Brian Damage 01-13-2003, 05:58 PM I'll give credit where credit is due, the Steelers really impressed me. I thought they'd come out totally flat after their comeback win against the Browns. They put on one heck of a game against the Titans.

Brian Damage 01-13-2003, 08:21 PM Bill Cowher may not be able to win the big one, but there's no coach available right now who's any better.

I strongly disagree with that myself.
And I think that the Steelers were screwed. But I'm not gonna complain about the results.

i don't think no steelers fans should be mad about that call because they were lucky to win last week.

First off - I didn't care who won.
Second - He DID run into the kicker. Did you watch the replay? He clearly ran into him no matter what kind of flamboyant act Nedney put on to emphasize it.
He ran into him, he should know better.
Third - Could Cowher have waited any longer to call that timeout?
Come on, if you wanted it that badly you would have called it in time.
And would that have changed the result? A timeout, after Nedney just missed and moved up in yards?
I think if the shoe was on the other foot the Steeler fans would be seeing this a lot clearer.
Brian Damage 01-15-2003, 05:51 PM I agree with you dlemond.
~LadyJess~ 01-15-2003, 06:05 PM It was like an article that was in the paper after the game, stop the whining, despite how they act, football officials are human and do make mistakes, and NFL athletes and coaches should be above complaining like little girls when things don't go their way.

Ok you are right dlemond, I got upset over that game and now that I saw the replays over and over again he did run into the kicker,however the referee's should have given the steelers the timeout,although that probably wouldn't have helped any,but it was worth a try. Maybe its about time for Cowher to leave after all he got to the superbowl only once and they lost and they can't even win an AFC championship game at home which is not good. Oh well I guess its time to look forward to the NFL Draft!

can we please end this discussion on the steelers since it's old news. The Steelers are home and that's that.

Solomon, please don't tell people what they can and can't talk about. You're not a moderator and even if you were that still doesn't give you the right to tell people what not to talk about.

It's like beating a dead horse, the steelers got screwed but it's not news anymore. I was shocked that people are still talking about it when the steelers are now playing golf.

It's still a topic of conversation, especially to Steeler fans.
Three'sCompanyrules 01-16-2003, 09:24 PM Soloman I can post that if I want to it is still a hot topic expecially for steeler fans like Brian said. I don't know but I do think at that point in the game the refs wouldn't decied a game that way,maybe decied the game isn't the best way of putting it,what I'm trying to say is that they should just have let them play the game if he makes it he makes it if he dosen't dosen't and the play on who knowes the steelers may still have lost the game the way therre defense played.
