    You guys talking about the Johnson fumble play where he got helmet to helmet?

    never get calls against the stoolers, just gotta go in knowing you will not get any calls.

    Yeah, if it was Vince Montana, Vince Brees, Vince Manning, Vince Namath, etc., they would have had flags and hats littering the field.

    I heard the whistle and saw the ref even wave the play off before the wrestling move. That's the NFL for you. Every rule is only upheld given the parties involved. Too much is left to ref interpretations.

    It was definitely excessive. But the argument can be made that Vince has a permanent Concussion, so how do you test him?

    I was watching highlights earlier and saw quite a few other roughing the passer calls including the ones against Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs and one against the Rams.

    That really got my blood boiling because none of those were even CLOSE to what the the Steelers did to VY.

    tell me about it. then Pieria comes out and says those were bad calls; well thanks for that.

    Anyone with eyes knows they should've flagged that head dump; what were they waiting on an invitation?

    Even my husband, the die hard Steeler fan, said that was completely uncalled for and should have been flagged. And this man loves his dirty little defense and all the hard hits they give out. And I'm sure had it been any other team, he wouldn't have cared, but still, for him to admit that his team did something wrong and should have been called on it is a big deal.

    Get used to it when you have a mobile QB,trust me Ben get's his share of hard hits and there are no flags.
