Bill Cowher & Pat Kirwan's reaction to Ryan Clark penalty

[ETL]

I was so ****ing mad yesterday at the ****ing **** sucking ***** **** faced refs that I turned off the TV. Never in my years of watching Steelers football have I turned off the TV because of the ****ing Refs. But I couldn't stomach how the Steelers were getting ****ed in the ass by these **** suckers.

In a span of a few minutes:
1. phantom pass interference call on Keenan Lewis
2. "hit to the head" call on Ryan Clark on a bang bang play
3. suspect TD call for the Giants
4. forward pass called a fumble
5. missed block in the back against Heath Miller (tv turned off)

It was so obvious that we were getting ****ed royally. NFL was trying to please the NY/NJ area over the whole Hurricane Sandy thing and we were the sacrificial lamb. Too bad Eli ****ed up their plans by playing poorly (the Steelers defense had a hand in that)

The ****ing refs were so ****ing bad that even ****-face Phil Simms was feeling sorry for us and throwing us gratutious comments. I am so ****ing mad that I care about something that can be so manipulated by the whim of powers like Goodell and the NFL.

Sorry, but once they rewrote the tuck rule in the middle of that playoff game, and burned all of the suddenly outdated rule books, Ben's "fumble" fit within the boundaries of a forward pass. If that had been brady or flacco there's no question that it's a forward pass.

LOL, when I read your post (which I agree with 100% btw), I picture you looking something like Todd Haley does in your sig.

Has the NFL given an explanation for this call? Have they acknowledged that they made a mistake?

If Ike wasn't there, Cruz could have caught the ball and it is Clarks job to hit him ... hard (but legally) to jar the ball loose.

Was Clark expected to know that Taylor would get his hands on the ball first before he made that hit?

If calls like this are considered ok - it is a bad omen for Steeler fans... we are going to pissed over and over again because our defensive guys will be trying to make plays and they will be flagged for being ... well, basically, for being to intimidating.
