Just call it like it is! Don't do what baseball umps do and try to make it consistent(call strikes 4" outside all the time and never call the obviously intended take out slides at 2B). If I were a QB trying to run out the clock and my RB breaks thru the line on 1st down and he goes down after 9.5 yds and they give a 1st down, I'd be livid that they didn't give me 2nd and 1 to run more clock before we got the near certain 1st down! Might even challenge on replay that it wasn't a 1st down.Ironman92;1763528 wrote:Depending on accurate spot. Looked not even to 10 1/2 to me

Oh well but crazy to make that a 1st and goal

Steelers had 306 yards passing in the 1st half. That is ridiculous.

Final leaf blowing and raking done in the first half of "action".
Will probably take a stick and hit a can around the backyard for the second half.
Or drink heavily.

I know the rule....we disagree about 2 footballs on the spotting. It's moot now.Sonofanump;1763530 wrote:Forward progress is determined where the ball was when he was driven backwards.
Plus, Pittsburgh gained 9.5 yards during that last set of downs, never did they gain 10 yards after the first and goal.

Browns have the worst offensive line in football...period. Alex Mack is just as over rated as Joe Thomas. Crowell having a big day though. Just how bad does Gilbert have to be when Gaines and Decier start over him?
The only shining star has been the play of Johnny Manziel.

3rd and 12 and the Browns jump offside...AGAIN and then interfere 40 yards down the field on a ball thrown out of bounds. Pettine should not be fired...he should be executed.

Also...Pittsburgh is throwing the bal on every single play...this..in spite of having a huge lead. Why? because theyd on't have a running game today. But Pettine insists on running the ball. Keep pounding it with Crowell who has a negative 9 yards on 5 carries.

And another complaint on Pettine. Why is it that Pittsburgh throws over the top at least 6 times today and the Browns haven't thrown deep even one time. Manziel has proven several times that he can throw it 60 yards on the money.

And that's why we have to challenge plays at the 1/2 yard line.

Fouts you are so stupid. You expect Mitchell in coverage to see a holding call in the backfield?
