December 31, 201312 yr Bottomline is' date=' no matter if you want to admit it or not, the refs blew the caall and cost the steelers a post seasonn berth. We can taalk all night baout all the plays the steelers could have made all season to change the outcome but guess what? they didnt..that doesnt mean we should simply say the refs didn't cause them a playoff spot because guess what..it did. I cant stand the steelers and am very happy they mised out, but I'm aalso notsilly enough to try and ssay they should of won another game or two and they woldnt have to wrry abou it that s a total cop out and for you to say so is jus wrong period. The officials blew a couple calls that would of allowed the steelers to be in the playoffs, you making it sound as if iit doesnt matter iis wrong. if that is the case you can say the same about every team inn or out of the playoffs.....noo need to put the blame on the steeler when it is clearly not their fault,, as much as i cant stand them it still dosnt make it righ and to blow it off like no big deal makes it even worse.[/quote'] How can you guarantee he would have made the FG if given another chance. You can't. So you can't say the no call cost the Steelers the playoffs.
December 31, 201312 yr What about the clock error in the Cowboys game last night... That was a huge mistake as well. And a play or two later the Cowboys scored a TD anyway. And then threw an INT with a chance to win the game. Zero impact on the game.
December 31, 201312 yr I don't think the Steelers are crying, nor are there fans. Too many missed opportunities all season long. They draft in the 15 slot. Hoping to make improvement. It is what it is. No, the fans aren't crying, only making death threats and screwing around with the kickers name to insult him.
December 31, 201312 yr Didn't read your post. Not buying it. The Steelers losing to Oakland, Tennessee and Minnesota cost them. Not that one blown call. I never said that didn't cost them either. But you also can't say that if the FG was made then the steelers wouldn't be in the playoffs. That's all I'm saying. You can't dismiss the fact that the blown call may have cost them a playoffs spot simply because you don't want to admit it.
December 31, 201312 yr I love that the steelers got screwed. It makes it even better that they aren't in. I couldn't have asked for a better way for them to miss out on the playoffs. I call it karma.
December 31, 201312 yr Bottomline is, no matter if you want to admit it or not, the refs blew the caall and cost the steelers a post seasonn berth.

Faulty logic from start to finish but thanks for chiming in.

Dude they went 8-8, there is a whole lot of plays that cost them the playoffs. Your stuck on this because it happened in the last game of the season. If this exact same thing happened in week 2 no knee even mentions it.
December 31, 201312 yr Dude they went 8-8, there is a whole lot of plays that cost them the playoffs. Your stuck on this because it happened in the last game of the season. If this exact same thing happened in week 2 no knee even mentions it. Actually that has nothing to do with it. You just choose to ignore facts and act like it never happened period. I never said a thousand other things couldn't have happened also to get thiem in the playoffs. That has nothing at all to do with this conversation and your previous posts proves to me you haven't a clue about it in the first place. Who cares when it happened. The fact of the matter is it did happen and you acting like an ostrich and burying your head in the sand doesn't mean it didn't happen.
December 31, 201312 yr Faulty logic from start to finish but thanks for chiming in. No need to be arse Show me the faulty logic Einstein. Are you saying sit never happened? Your clueless.
December 31, 201312 yr Author Fact of the matter is that any fan that tries to blame the Steelers missing the playoffs on that 1 play, thus blaming the refs, then they need to reevaluate some things. The Chiefs kicker had a quite makable FG at 41 yards, he missed it. That's on him. Who's to say that 5 yards closer would have helped him make the next. Maybe he shanks it again. Unfair to blame it on the refs and it's in poor taste, not to mention that it makes no sense either.

No one is bllaming the refs, but at the same time you also cant say for fact that if the calll was made the chiefs still would of lost. My whole point is for those thaat say t had nothing to do with the steeelers missing the playoffs are beingvery naive if they are unwilling to even think there was a slight possibility thhe chiefs may hhave won the game.
December 31, 201312 yr How can you guarantee he would have made the FG if given another chance. You can't. So you can't say the no call cost the Steelers the playoffs. I didnt say it was garunteed they would make the kick, please prove t me they would of missed again.

I'm sure the win probability went up. But just as you tell me that I can't guarantee they would have missed again you can't say and act like they would have made it. I will say that this game had nothing to do with the Steelers missing the playoffs. They didn't control their own destiny and that's on them. They had plenty of games during the regular season in which they could have played better, etc. in order to win and I'm sure they'd say the same thing. To put it on the Chiefs game is silly.

Again I never said they were garunteed to be in the playoffs f the refs made the right call That isnt even my point. My point is it isn't t right to say the steelers should of made any number of plays through the season to get in but disgaard the cheifs game simply because someone doesnt wantt to admit they may have gotten in thhrought the chiefs winning also. I just find it comical how quick people are to actually act offended by the idea the steelers ould of maddeit in to the playoffs by meeans of another team winning ini the final week of the season. seriously, go back and read somee of these posts in here lol, it s pretty funny how offended for instance woodside gets by the mere thought of what might have happpened....quite comical and sad in a way how upset omeoe can apparently become over anoher team.
December 31, 201312 yr No need to be arse Show me the faulty logic Einstein. Are you saying sit never happened? Your clueless. Your the one acting like everyone not agreeing with you is an idiot and too dumb to understand the situation. Your putting an entire season on one play in a game the steelers weren't even in. Are kidding me? Then you want to come on here and insult people that don't agree with you. I never once said it didn't happen and if I did please point that out. I sit here and hold my breath while you look. And again you ignore the fact that even if they call it KC still has to hit a field goal. Did this one call contribute to the fact that the steelers are not in the playoffs, yes. Is it the reason, nope. To say otherwise is a joke. But whatever your so smart everyone else is just dumb and clueless.
