Steelers vs Broncos Wk2 Gameday Thread

[Steeltime]

The 2nd holding call was incredibly ticky-tack. TJ gets put in a choke-hold and nothing.

 

[BurghThing]

There's a reason real NFL head coaches don't use revolving tackles

 

[stillwright]

horrible call. Jones let it go.

Refs blew that one for sure. They allow 10x worse go on Watt on every play.

 

[madinsomniac]

So platooning an OT is idiotic... us catering to Dan Moore, who wont be here next season, is screwing with Jones development... Jones simply shouldnt play at RT again... put him in at LT and dont ruin him

 

[bermudasteel]

Wow I think that's Broderick Jones 4th penalty of the season so far.

We hold they to higher standards in Tuscaloosa...

I can't remember the last time the steelers looked sharp outside the eastern time zone under Tomlin.

 

[Punxsutawney]

Jones is basically playing with one arm. He probably should be out there.

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

Three penalties for Jones, but watching how Watt and some of our defenders get held on a weekly basis, relatively soft calls.

Our coaching staff should not be treating this like a preseason game. If Fautanu is the starter, let him be the starter.

agree completely. The first holding call on Jones, well, okay. He got his hand up under the shoulder pads and that will get called, but the 2nd one?? Offensive linemen do that to Watt and Highsmith all the time and no calls.

 

[Hines field]

If that is a hold then there is a hold on every play

 

[Steelmann]

Jones should not see the field again all season

lol.

 

[stillerfaninfl]

What's our OL lineup today??

 

[jitter77]

Refs blew that one for sure. They allow 10x worse go on Watt on every play.

He was grabbing his jersey then let go once fields passed. I thought the first holding call was much worse.

THIS

They have musical chaired him way too much. He just needs snaps at his true position.

That holding was pretty questionable, both of them actually.


Salute the nation

 

[stillwright]

WTF!!!!

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Grounding. He was in the pocket.

 

[Steelersreign]

I have had enough of these refs for two weeks

 

[Steeltime]

How is that not grounding?!!?

 

[stillerfaninfl]

Time for a fumble or an int.

 

[Steeltime]

So you are clearly in the pocket, backing up like the French army, pressure in your face, throw the ball 5 yards out of bounds and ... nothing?

Sure. You betcha.

 

[Skott]

If Jones is a LT then he needs to play LT or sit down

 

[BurghThing]

It's Denver, they do no wrong apparently

 

[Drink IRON City]

Grounding. He was in the pocket.

****, I missed it,

Salute the nation

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

These announcers didn't even pick up on that as a potential grounding call.

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

I guess the rules changed probably a long time ago, but I can remember when the defensive player could jump in the neutral zone but as long as he didnt touch anyone and got back and got set, he could do that. But now (and its probably been like this for a long time) if you even go in the neutral zone, you get popped for 5 yards. I just know it used to be different. Oh well

 

[Buck Iron]

time to tighten it up.
