Very minor detail but what a ref screw up.

If you can re watch the final sequence AB catches the crosser and goes down the sideline. Id say he was out of bounds at very worst 16 and a half. Next scrimmage play is full 18 yard line. Like not even close. I know small detail but come on. Kid has just missed from under 40. Refs were terrible again.
 
The non fumble call was horrible, they say his forward progress was stopped, but not one damn ref blew the whistle until Williams had the ball.

Exactly this. So would they take the football all the way back to that spot had Gore somehow never touched the ground, and then proceeded to get up and run for more yardage? What the **** is it with officiating and the Steelers in Indianapolis?
 
That call on the fumble was beyond inexcusable. Seriously, that's blatant corruption right there. He didn't blow the whistle, I don't give a **** when he thought forward progress was stopped, he should've blown the whistle. To say that's unchallengable is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
 
yep. refs screwed themselves. all they had to do was say he was down or fumble and let a challenge ensue. Down by contact was BS.
 
NFL wonders why people cut the cord...politics and questionable calls that just stink of "fixed", mobbed up bullshit. The Steelers are top seed in AFC and go truckin' into Indy (possibly the worst team in the league atm) healthy and rested and proceed to get strangled for 3/4 of the game. Vegas cleaned house on this ************.;;;But yeah, seems legit, lol.
 
Think bad here watch Jacksonville game.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but the Chargers went conservative when they had an INT to ice the game under 2min. They ran first 2 downs, 3rd and 6, run and stopped. They punt with 1min, and Jax comes back to tie. This is why I love Tomlin, he will ALWAYS go for the first down, if your O can ice a game. That's what you want in a head coach. Not this bullshit, eat time, kick the punt and watch your team lose the lead, then the game.

Chargers have all the talent in the world, they are just terrible at situational football.
