For those who think the REFS rig the game

NFL has been getting heavier and heavier into gambling business under Goodell.  It’s a billion dollar business and the house always wins.  When the house wins, NFL wins.  I’m just surprised there is no independent government review board for all that business.  NBA, NFL and etc are all got very fishy over the last decade with almost obvious game fixing by the refs.

The ref said the flag thrown was not for this bit for taunting  prior to it 

the taunting call was questionable 

The taunitng call was VERY questionable.  It was just bad.  BUT, it  sure looked like the ref went out of his way to try to make the guy look even worse...before he threw the questionable flag.  

games like that are way people think football is fixed.  That wasn't the only horrible call that crew made to help the Steelers keep their MNF record intact.

Nah, that guy was doing the most. Spinning wheel kick, then taunting the punter, that was just the icing on the cake. 

People have been cut for less

 

Every defensive player has a celebration they do after a big play. 

See: Brian Burns Spider-Man pose. The wheel kick was no different. 

He didn't taunt the punter. He looked in the direction of the Steelers bench. He didn't say a word. If you watched the whole game, there was definitely some homebrew going on. They made questionable calls and no-calls in favor of the Steelers all night. It reminded me of SB50. The Steelers defense were hitting Fields late constantly. At one point, they did it three plays in a row. However, Ben barely gets touched and it draws a flag. 

The taunting call was bullshit and pre-determined by the ref. Refs shouldn't be able to determine the outcomes of games. There shouldn't be a penalty so subjective that the ref can call it literally any time they want.

Yeah the defenses get together and celebrate after turnovers. This game was awful… The nonexistent holding call that turned over a TD to Graham, the awful roughing the passer that wasn’t called on Fields. I’m afraid Fields is going to get the Cam treatment for roughing the passer…

He already is. Remember when the ref told Cam he wasn't old enough to get those calls. Just absolutely shameful. I'm glad that announcers are more open on calling out the bullshit nowadays. They were letting the refs have it most of the night for calling a one-sided game.

Lol if you think the politicians don't get a piece of the pie too.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
