    How about the non-call on Flacco stepping out of the end zone in the playoff game 2 years ago against the Titans? Or the non call on the Delay of game? Hard to let those go. We SHOULD have been in the Superbowl that year against Arizona.:gag:

    The delay was horrendous. We all recognize that, and there's no denying it. But Flacco did not step out of bounds on that play. He was very, very close... we're talking two inches away maximum. He came very close to pulling a Dan Orlovsky which is actually the exact way he quoted it after the game.

    How about the hands graze to the face in week five of '08? It was like 3rd and 15 or maybe even 4th down. It was an extremely weak call. No reason to throw the flag there. It won us the game.

    It goes both ways.

    That being said, the delay miss was far more devastating to us than the lame week 5 call was on them.

    There are debatable calls in every game... but nothing like the Pitt thing in Miami. I have NEVER seen them give the ball back to the team on the goal line like that. Should've either been Miami's ball or a Pitt TD...but they stopped working the play. It's over and done with now but Miami really got screwed on that one.

    Really it was the initial ref that screwed them. He was right there, how did he not see the ball get knocked free?

    Anyone still say refs don't have an influence in the outcome of games???

    This game screwed the Titans, Ravens, and everyone competing for the playoffs in the AFC.

    Also, I visited some old friends last night. One of them was a Steelers fan. He straight up admitted that the call was ridiculous... pointed out that the refs were from Pittsburgh as well.

    For those titan fans who think the refs are unfair to us in the post season just remember that roughing call against the Steelers in 02 which allowed us another shot at the winning FG.

    You can't touch the kicker, nothing vague about that rule.

    I think it actually helped us, it gives the Dolphins one more lose, and it looks like if anything we are going to be competing against the Dolphins more than the Steelers come the end of the year, because the Steelers will have the AFC North wrapped up. The only one it screws in my opinions is the Dolphins obviously, the Ravens, and the Bengals, although the Bengals don't look to be a playoff contender anyways.
