lmao, little bit of butthurt in that blog.  calls went against the steelers in the game too.  the hold in particular that is mentioned existed. why isn't he crying stevans' fumble after like 5 steps that was called incomplete?  ::) talk about a missed call  ::)     steelers got ACTUALLY screwed by a 100% no doubt bad call on the troy P  play against the colts in the game prior.  they still manned up and won the game.   that's the type of missed call that you can actually cry about if it costs you a game.  the crap in this game not so much.

What Aske said.

That extra down Colorado got to kick a winning field goal? Gnash teeth and rend your clothes. Late 4th quarter holding calls? Man up and win the game.

Obviously, this has been big news here. The reaction only goes to further my suspicion that on top of being the suckiest sports town in 'Merka, we are also the whiniest.

same season -- (well reg season, not postseason)

called ON the steelers TWICE in consecutive weeks!!!

it was a point of emphasis that year apparently.  granted, I think I've only seen it called 1x since.
