We are all usually fine in here, but for some reason 316 wants to be a complete prick to me because the Raiders beat the Steelers, and in a game that he didn't really watch, and that two horribly obvious no calls yielded 14 points to the Raiders- and they win by 3. Heck, he even saw an opportunity to take a stab in week 1 against them when Manning was doing well in that game, but yet no one slams the Raiders (or really any team) when they got handled in Miami. We usually all pick on each other in here when "our" team loses, but always make it obvious that it's just playing. He flat out wanted to be an ass because Oakland won and he felt he could.

I'll straight out say when Pittsburgh played like crap and lost, I'll say when they got questionable calls in their favor and I'll definitely say when calls hurt them in games. And 2 years ago when Pittsburgh steam rolled Oakland, I definitely wasn't in here rubbing it in anyone's face. I count every win as a blessing, because nothing is for-sure in this League, and I feel VERY fortunate I've watched them in 3 Super Bowls in recent years.

I feel I'm the most loyal Steelers fan in here (and one of the most loyal fans of my team), and a game they lose doesn't bother me and I'll comment about how the other team flat-out played better and beat them, but a close game they probably should've won will also warrant comments from me. Others in here will comment about bad losses, and I don't take the opportunity to dig on them, as most of us won't either. And as a matter of fact, I was singing praise of Oakland before the season. They are a better team than their record shows right now, but they got away with one tonight (if not for a bad long snapper they could be 2-1 and leading the Division right now).

I don't care if anyone finds this post humorous, whiny or whatever. If this thread gets to the point that other threads do, where members see an opportunity to be a complete prick about something and jump all over it, and mods won't say crap because it's their buddy (I kinda just threw that last part in, it actually doesn't happen in here, I just like making it publicly known), then I'll just stay out of here like 99% of these threads in on this forum.

Believe me I took my fair share after week 1 when San Diego beat Oakland. Hell I even had to change my avatar for 4 weeks (2 more to go).

Some of us can take the ribbing for what it is.....good old fun. A few on the otherhand cannot it seems.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

honestly though...it's the NFL....you can go 9-7 in the reg season and still win the SuperBowl....1 loss in week 3 means pretty much nothing....unless it's your 3rd loss and then you might better start getting ready for the panic button(New Orleans)

 

[EXOTICLEX]

now if the refs cost the Georgia Bulldogs a game then I can def feel your pain sprig...But seriously it's the NFL....means nothing right now...

The world is right for me when on the same day the Titans can pull out a close one and the Steelers get beat by the Raiders. Bhahhhaahhahhaa !

 

[sithjedi171]

Congrats 316. Quality win for your boys. I Couldn't be any happier about it.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Good game going on.

 

[bumblebee]

Scrub refs are terrible!

 

[Grenouille]

Well, this game will be talked about quite a bit tomorrow morning mostly for the wrong reasons. It has been a joke from the opening whistle.

 

[316what]

I wonder how big the fine will be for Belichek tomorrow?

No matter what, you don't put your hands on the officials...PERIOD.

 

[316what]

The refs in the Pats/Ravens game made the refs in the Steelers/Raiders game look like real NFL refs.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Could have been worse.

With the Ravens winning...it is.

But the Ravens being a game up is going to make a Steelers victory over them that much sweeter. So now I am just looking forward to playing them even more.

 

[Nitro]

Wow. Just wow. The refs were awful in that Ravens/Patriots game and an absolute joke.

 

[bumblebee]

Happy but sad for Torrey Smith, great game for him under terrible circumstances.

 

[jnmx2000]

damnit, that was a crappy loss. I'm not a big patriots fan but I hate the ravens. I was hoping for a shanked field goal but no. At least the bears D looked great today, they look like a top 5 defensive team right now. Offense wasn't to bad either.

It looked as though he was trying to get the guy's attention and he kept running. Anyway since he's the devil and all it'll probably be $20K. Sadly he didn't go into things during his post game press conference and really get his money's worth.

Since the league sent out the letter last week to all teams I would not be surprised if there is a fine AND suspension.

 

[Centurion]

Ravens pulled it off. Wow!

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Just finished the game on dvr and all I can say is wow and yes!

Am I the only Ravens fan here?
