Super Bowl LVII

You see that hold all the time. Some are saying JuJu wasn't able to catch the ball. That is irrelevant. Half the time when this type of penalty is called it on the other side the field and the players aren't even involved in the play. Don't grab the jersey and you are good. The ref sees jersey stretching he/she will throw the flag.

Its just like the OL holding. If you grab a fist full on a regular basis you better be prepared to see the flags flying sooner or later. I do agree it was ticky tack and at very important part of the game.

But if the refs put the whistle's and flags away then you will get the blatant non PI calls that have changed playoff games in the past.

It's a fine line that I don't see how they can walk with the game being played at full speed.
 
All you can ask for in referees is consistent. That was not consistent. No team goes through 4 quarters without holding, illegal contact, hands to face, PI unless you put the flag away. That hold was not nearly blatant enough in the context of the rest of the game.

I've never been an official, but unless something is blatant as *&^%, I'm swallowing my whistle in those situations.

And that is what should have happened in the context of the game. Say they had made 5 similar calls in the game. Then it is what it is. I'm thinking many of you look at Cross state Rival Philly and say F them From the outside with no skin in this to speak of. Talking to people here who have no skin in it. It was ridiculous.

X and O's .You or your OC and DC better be good at it. Steelers are O for 3 or 1 for 3 depending on how fans view Austin.

That is a pretty deep prop bet. Another point. I agreed with the call that got the Chiefs there, though that is pretty split too. However, it is pretty clear that there is a chosen group of players who are getting that, and you better damn well hope KP gets on that list.

Mahomes is the new t*mmyb*y.

Pickett will NOT get on or even close to the list.

Definitely the Philly D comment. All week long all I heard about was that vaunted D. They showed me nothing. No sacks....hardly any pressure. D line invisible. This is with Mahomes playing injured. KC’s OLine won the game.
I was watching Eagles and KC’s centers the whole game. Kelce and Creed controlled everything. We have to draft that 10 year stud center. Broken record here.....but it just pisses me off that it could and should have been already done.

On the Eagles football forum it was quite interesting. The long time posters talking about how their defense was overrated all season,and what a fraud their DC has been. Some were actually glad he had been finally exposed on national TV. They are all calling his game plan out. The love and hype of drafting Jordan Davis is definitely gone. With many on there saying what a 6’4” safety like Kyle Hamilton would have done for their D. Interesting stuff.

Even I was surprised by Jordan Davis doing jack **** this season. I actually thought he would be starting over Hargrave by now. I missed that one, maybe next year.
I am damn glad they drafted Pickett and not the guy I wanted at the time.

I think Davis was hampered by a foot injury. He needs time to learn and get used to the NFL,like mostly everyone else. Only a year into his career. Many on that site complained about how out of shape he seemed....winded all the time,needed to lose weight. ( not that we didn’t do the same with Casey) I was a little surprised. The comments on here at that time of the draft had me thinking he was the second coming of you know who.

Like you I am glad they took Pickett. At the time I was pissed Trevor Penning got picked one pick before us. Then wanted either McDuffie,Elam or the center that Baltimore took. That would have been wrong. If you believe you have a QB for the future,you have to get him.

I read this article talking about how KC could have very easily been complacent with Alex Smith. He had a high completion percentage, had a great TD to Int ratio,and good yardage average. But they were looking for The it factor. And Smith did not have it. They aggressively went for Mahomes ......and the rest is history. Let’s hope our QB has the it factor

Injury. Anytime you get a lower body injury carrying around that much bodyweight. Being big like that has it’s downsides

Conditioning and only carrying as much weight as needed goes a long way in helping that. I did see something with the foot early in the season. I think the Eagles should release him and the Steelers pick him up..haha. Considering I've watched most of Georgia's games the last 3 years I know his capabilities.

My beef was the year before by NOT taking Creed (PRO-BOWL y this year)

I’m over that but just imagine how much better we would have been, some here say we need one super star on the OL and build around him……. CREED was that opportunity.

the football season ended many weeks ago.....what are you all going on about?

The Superbowl. Between the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs and NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles. See, I totally don't blame you for thinking the season is over, being a Steeler fan and all. But believe it or not, this thing called the "postseason", it actually exists. It's a reward for being a highly proficient and successful football team, and it's an opportunity to be crowned as the champion of the league, the best of the best. It takes a couple of weeks to complete, following the completion of the regular season. One day, I am hopeful to see the Pittsburgh Steelers once again involved in this "postseason", preferably with a legitimate chance to be the last team standing, the "champion" of the league, if you will.

how about you get the all-22 film of the entire game, watch it, splice all the uncalled penalties into a nice little slide show presentation for us, and show us alllllll these uncalled penalties?

To be fair… it was the only holding call for either team all game long.. I really doubt that nobody was holding for the entirety of that game …
 
So Kelse is a great talent, bit he is a moronic ******* outside of the field, huh? Dude was bitching that nobody picked the chiefs to make the playoffs in his parade rant… pretty sure they were in the top 3 teams for every publications I read… where exactly was he getting these haters from?

He probably was listening to the talking heads down on the Chiefs due to Patrick's injury which was a legitimate concern.

But yeah I guess what ever motivates you at the end of the day. Most where high on the Chiefs all season.

Mahomes’ wife did the same thing on social media, I read an article and she bitched and moaned huge after the fact. Looked like a complete entitled moron but hey, what ever keeps them going. She actually wanted people to apologize for what they said before the season even started…… she named a certain talking head………… ****-ing idiot she is, along with a lot of these entitled athletes.
