It's all "creepy"...but actually it's worse to be following 18 year old kids. Think about it.
A little help is putting it mildly. This I don't think was mentioned by the announcers, but on the game winning drive by NO the pass interference call on 4th and 2 should never have been made. The ball was tipped by ST at the line of scrimmage. This stuff that we always hear about that this team or that team shouldn't have been in a position to let the officials determine the outcome of a game is often total BS. I heard enough of that when Penn State got repeatedly screwed by Big Ten officiating. The officials determined the outcome of this game and there is no question about it. Had they done their job everyone would have been talking about what a great game the Steelers played.
I just jumped to the last page here so I'm sure the fake punt got a lot of opinions. I never watch the NFL but the game was on at one of the children's homes. Tomlin absolutely made the correct call. He knew what Drew Brees "does" on a regular basis and also knew length of the field a minor factor!
Agree and add to that, even if NO scored at that point, which they did not, it would have left the Steelers with plenty of time to score. I'm certain that was his line of thinking.
Yea it worked out great. Moving the offense the whole field in stead of half puts more pressure on the offense and more things can happen. Just think of shuster fighting for extra yards when it mattered and time was winding down.
It was not the correct call.
Tomlin screwed is up plain and simple. Just watched that third and twenty. How do you do a deep 25 yard zone when the player needs 20. I get keeping one guy back for the bomb but I counted at least 3 players 25 down field.

We can hope, but it's in Baltimore and that defense is very good. Ravens should win it.
Not sold on Jackson...Ravens are due for a few bounces to go against them...pressure at home will be excruciating...get down by more than 1 score and it’s Brownies all the way...that Ravens D could be their saving grace though...
Did any one notice that the 4th down pass interference that extended Saints drive was a tipped ball...reviews should have overturned the PI
I agree - not sure if Tomlin had a TO left to challenge but the replay seemed to show it was tipped and I was surprised no challenge unless he was out of TO’s.
Could he have thrown a challenge flag on that? I thought some things you couldn't challenge?
Baltimore has the best defense in the league and will throttle Cleveland. Pittsburgh is done. Nobody to blame but themselves (particularly the coaching staff).
I was liking Romo in general, but the excitement at the end of the game seemed a little contrived on his part. He sounded like he was running from the police more than excited about the game.

Was under 2 minutes. Should have been reviewed by the booth. Not sure if Tomlin was in the refs ears about it. I know that players on the sideline were indicating it was tipped. Not sure why they didn’t stop play to review it. Pretty crucial call you should have wanted to get right.
How did Baltimore fare against Cleveland last game? Time will tell this time...
I thought the same...cost Steelers the game and thought it was fairly obvious...amazed the TV analysts said nothing!
Yeah, that was disturbing and it seemed clear the ball was tipped. MAYBE the penalty occurred before the tip, but it was certainly worth a review
Thanks for posting that, PearlSUJam. (I'd give you a "like" but don't want to appear to be kicking JuJu.)
What a great young guy and a great player. The Steelers are lucky to have him.
