that being called based upon that photograph would be the equivalent of an MLB ruling the 2B "ghost tag" wasn't a tag......you have to be either basically lined up in the slot or like, 2 feet behind the next lineman for that to be called.

now, it is called on occasion, but it is way obvious when it happens. that would have been damn near punitive.

plus, go back to Pittsburgh's phantom backwards passed that was ruled incomplete (i already forget; didn't denver recover the ball on the ground?) it all evens out.

actually it should have been a Denver TD because it was ran back, if not for the inadvertent whistle.

I'm not a Tebow fan, but come on. That's grasping at straws.

Quasar: Yep. Steelers lost no matter what.

Yeah, it's over. Steelers fans should be over this and onto worrying about the 11 free agents we're going to have next year.

/Or the 6 game losing streak the Penguins are suffering through.

I love how the article starts off "should this be a penalty?" Then gives several official sources that all state it's not a penalty. Finally it concludes, it's not a penalty. Great article. A+ Would read again.

That play was squeaky clean and magnificent. However, I did not like how that ended. Not at all. If Tebow can do that once, he can it again. And again.

Doesn't matter, Simon Bellmont invented Tebowing anyway.

Whoever won that game was losing next week anyway, so why worry?

Wow - a celebrity who can piss off both Steelers Fans and the Fark Atheist Brigade at the same time. Tebow truly is a gift from god.

Steelers fan here, not pissed at Tebow at all.

born in pittsburgh i have no choice but to be a steeler/penguins fan. They blew, blown call or not. steelers sucked a big fat one. no other steeler fan i talk to thinks we should have won.
The reputation us steeler folks have is far worse then it actually is.

Why cry about it now? no one is.
No complaining about the refs. no one is.
That's grasping at straws. no one is.

this author is an idiot. Di Atribe nailed it.

James Harrison is a dirtbag.
Rothelisburger diddled some redneck in a bathroom.
Crosby has a headache.
pittsburgh fans cry about everything.


we get it. come up with something new..........

Steelers fans complaining about this call? I haven't seen that.

Was it a penalty? Yes, but borderline. Did it have anything to do with the outcome of the game? Nope, not even a little. That touchdown was not the result of a Denver player being just a little off the line, and anyone claiming that is dumb.

The Pirates suck.

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo: Whoever won that game was losing next week anyway, so why worry?

yeah, I mean...they have a good track record of home winning home playoffs games...oh--right

well, I mean certainly they have a solid record for beating those same teams if they blew them out a couple of weeks earlier...I mean teams can't comeback from that sort of --hmmmmm

Well, I'm sure former defensive coordinator and defensive-minded bill belichick has a stout defense that that is ranked in the top of the league-----they are? oh, good...wait it's in yards allowed? that's bad...They have devin mccourty, the first rounder comign off a pro-bowl season? That's good...oh, he's been moved to safety becuase teams are actively targeting him....that's bad...

No problem..I'm sure they've faced some tough opponents and are battle tested and ready to rumble----...huh, nuthin but cupcakes and sub .500 teams the last 7 weeks?

Well, I have no doubt they are banging on all cylinders right now....really running up the score on other teams these last few weeks....---oh they had to dig themselves from under 20 point deficits....

yanceylebeef: As a Seahawks fan, hearing Steelers fans biatch about blown calls warms the cockles of my heart.

Well said.

Didn't read all the posts, but isn't the guideline helmet even with the waist?

This. So very much this.

I don't really like tebow, never have. However, since the Steelers got beat last week everyone thinks I don't like tebow because I'm a Steelers fan, and we can't give anyone credit for good play. They of course ignore the fact that I stated before the game that I thought we would have a lot more trouble with Denver than most realized.

Bleh.. Even if the Steelers had won I didn't see us advancing much further.

I mean, uh, What a terrible call! The Steelers are always getting screwed by the refs. Denver got lucky. Penalty!!

Real Pittsburgh fans get a bad rap from all the out of town out of touch Pittsburgh fans.

Journalist killed by lighting strike.

Still, when Pereira speaks, it's wise to listen.

Mr. Chase, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


Even HE doesn't what this guy was talking about

I only heard, like, one guy complain about this on all of Fark and Pittsburgh fans on here seem to have pretty much agreed they got outplayed, so non-story with Tim Tebow in title to get hits.
