Thats the worst spot in NFL HISTORY!

[Shane]

That ref had to have been paid! Blake easily picked up 2 inches!

Is that sarcasm or did he make it and get a bad spot???

Someone should lose their job over that spot.

You could tell by the push that he easily got the necessary two inches IMO!

But the ref actually spotted making him lose about 6 inches!

It's definitely one of those days.

Terrible - but it comes with the territory. Who do you expect to get the call - the Arizona Cardinals or the Steel Curtain?

and now we are inside the 5! Woe are we!

I expect the correct call regardless of the team colors and history!

The spot was correct. By the time Blake takes the snap he is 3 feet off the marker, and it looked like he slipped on the sneak.

It sucked, but the spot was fine.

The spot was not fine. The Cardinals got screwed by about 6 in. (that doesn't sound good). But I will say that the spot the referees gave on third down was very generous towards the Cardinals.

There's no way they are going to give his touchdown to the Cardinals. Johnston was out of the end zone when he had possession of the ball. However one of the Cardinals in the back of the end zone was getting held over about five seconds by a Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm talking the defender had both arms wrapped around the Cardinal.

Overall the officiating has not gone the Cardinals w0y today.

How about the measurement before the spot. I was at the game, saw it on the big screen. We had the first down by about half an inch. Then they call FOURTH DOWN!!! JESUS! I mean, are you kidding? Is a first down NOT a first down?

The refs blew all day, on both sides of the ball.

Stout, did you represent today or what? You are still drunk or did the effects of the loss have a sobering effect. (Did you shave the beard or what)

I represented, but the Cards didn't. What a crock. I wasted over 150 bucks for tickets for my pops and I, plus another 15 in parking and river shuttle...for this?

Oh well. At least Heinz Field and the Steeler Fans are cool. I could only have 1 beer, as I was driving home right after the game. Can a stadium NOT be cool when it has Guinness on tap?

And shave my beard??? Heresy! Never!

 

[Sandan]

Of course we won't get good spots or calls. We are the Cardinals and the NFL doesn't give a **** about us.

 

[Stout]

See, that's what's weird...the refs hate the Steelers too. I asked my dad what happens then you play the two teams the refs hate the most against each other...you get the lousy calls on both sides like we had today!

 

[Cheesebeef]

The only thing that comforts me about this game is that I know we're one game closer to having a new head coach. The refs were terrible today - more so for us - but there were bad calls both ways - but they didn't lose the game for us - Coach Mac and his crack staff did that job admirably.

Hi all!

Im just going to jump right in here.

imho, this game today was a battle of suck. The winner is just a little less suckier by the addage "any given Sunday".

As always, the play calling was atrocious and it proceeds to get worse.

I honestly have to say, I picked the Cards in my pick em leagues.

Traditionally, Pitt doesnt have a good history with Blake.
