Schlereth says is was a clip...

[red desert]

on Hightower and it should not have been a TD.

Yes, I know it doesn't affect the outcome, but just thought some folks might want to know.

if they flagged it, i think it would have changed the out come of the game. jmho

 

[RedViper]

yep

That was a serious clip...but seriously..we had the Steelers down by 4, with 2 minutes left , and 1st and 20 at their own 12 yardline...they should have won that game...It was similar to the 49ers game on Monday night but this time the D gave up the 6...Heartbreaking!

i totally agree, we should have stopped them and didn't. it's just hard to beat the steelers and the refs too. the game is over and the steelers won and now i set my sites on the coming season. my montra this coming season will be " WE HAVE SOME UNFINNISHED BUSINESS" ala a super bowl win! it's starts the first regular season game.

Again, there was an uncalled clip on Breaston's return. And on the long Arrington catch and run that led to your second TD, Breaston practically raped Troy. Plus, on that same play, it showed two Arizona linemen doubling up on the Steelers NT. Each of them had one arm wrapped around the outside, holding him. It looked like a group hug. Instead of 1st and 10 at the Pitt 28, it's 2nd and 14 at the Arizona 40. Think that might have made a difference?

Brian Billick, hardly a Steeler fan, remarked that your O-Lineman that got tagged with those holding penalties on Harrison should have been tagged on just about every single play from scrimmage (Maybe that's why he lost his head on that punt?).

There are many uncalled penalties every game going both ways. The majority of them are holds and clips, as there are too many blockers, too few refs to account for each player. It happens.

I agree lots of other uncalled penalties. But surely you can see that the picksix completely changed the game and that's why fans are complaining about the missed clip?

I still think in the the Cards couldnt' stop Pitt when we needed to, but there is a reason that no call is getting called out now, because that was the single biggest turning point in the game. The Cards had all the momentum, if they call that penalty Pitt maybe has a shot at a FG, still a huge mistake to throw the pick but it was that he scored that made it so bad.

That's the second guy I absolutely detest that has called this out as a clip.

Schlereth and Bill Simmons.

Please, please refrain from weak attempts to justify Harrison's thug behavior on Aaron Francisco. He "lost his head"....wow, just wow...

We get it, you and every other Steeler fan believes Harrison and Woodley were held in the parking lot, on the way out of the locker room, and on every single snap of the game.

Congrats, you won. Please do not downplay the impact that lack of clipping call on the return had on that game. You are insulting our intelligence.
