Pittsburg 11 San Diego 10 Discussion Thread

[Johnny~Vegas]

Umm, did you happen to catch Pittsburgh's last drive where they scored a touchdown that was called off due to offensive holding? I'm guessing not, because if you did, you would have seen Ben really celebrating at Green getting into the endzone. And if the game was rigged, then holding wouldn't have been called.

To all of the posters in the thread - You lost money, get over it.

Dude, I had San Diego & when I see something fishy, whether I won or lost, I say what the fvck is going on. San Diego had no business covering the game, but it helped me hit a 7 team parlay, well I was waiting on Dallas, but it hit, so its not only the losers of these games saying stuff!

Some people continue to amaze. At least from GoGo this is not about who won their bet and who did not. This is the NBA all over again though to what level not sure.

1. 13-1 penalties against Pitt. Pitt was the home team.
2. Phantom PI gave SD first and goal on their first TD>
3. There was no penalty flag on the play in question at the end of the game.
4. They reviewed the play even though there was really no reason to. Both teams were ready to get off the field.
5. The referee reviewed the play and said their was an illegal forward pass despite replays showing no CLEAR conclusive evidence. If the replay does not show clear evidence, which it did clearly not, why call the play dead?
6. NFL rules state even with the supposed forward pass as long as the ball does not hit the ground the play is still alive. So the play is not dead at the spot of foul. Again NFL rules.
7. The ref was in the booth for at least 5-7 minutes. It was much longer than a normal replay review. If the play had no effect on outcome of the game then why would someone be in the booth that long? Since it took that long why didn't someone up in the booth help advise him of the rule?
8. The ref admitted after the game that he got the ruling wrong.
9. The NFL says it has no effect on the outcome of the game yet total points is 7th in tiebreakers for playoff spot. So apparently its does have an affect on the game.

Cannot believe that anyone with a rational mind cannot look at this game with doubts about the legitamcy of some NFL games. This is ridiculous.

BB, with all due respect that is BS. SD the right side...yeah OK. Yeah they played a great game. So in your eyes there was nothing unusual about how this game played out.

GoGos point has much to do with the integrity or the perceived integrity in sports. Even if you remove gambling from the equation completely, I think we could all agree the point of Instant Replay is to insure the calls on the field/court are correct.

The replay system was designed to STOP the precise problem that it actually created today through its use in the SD/Pit game.

Given the access to replay...(since most replays see the same angles as TV coverage) there's no excuse for what happened.

And then to realize a mistake was made and still not make a change??

The effect is they blew the call TWICE (during the game and after it) WITH Instant Replay.

I completely agree with the two of you. The tools are there to make the correct decision, including the video review and they refuse too leave the TD on the scoreboard. Yes I only had the Steelers, 2nd half -3, so a Push, but nevertheless we were fcked by something that is not open to opinion, but blatant disregard for the NFL rules. This should have been a closed case TD!

Anyone thinking Ben gave a fuck about the spread is on some good stuff.

The refs, yeah a case can be made, but not the star player

 

[Toby1]

Or maybe he was confused trying to figure out what the fuck was going on, just like the rest of us. Again, you lost money, get over it.

Dude read above i did not bet on the game-the game was a flat out fix-refs said they blew it so get over it-the gods will be paying you a visit soon

:lol:

I agree. Regarding the look on his face, I bet he was thinking 'WTF is going on here? Why is the crowd going nuts?

That could definately be the case, but as far as the refs go, I dont trust those rat bastards as far as I could throw one!

Umm, I like how you say the game was fishy but neglect to respond to any the points I raise. Please go back, read and respond. Thanks

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

It is clear that ball is going forward.

Forget where the players are.

LOOK AT THE BALL. He released THE BALL even before that shot meaning he was further back. LTs arm was behind him when he released the ball.

It is not easy to see.

No, the ball was clearly going backwards.

 

[enpassant]

That could definately be the case, but as far as the refs go, I dont trust those rat bastards as far as I could throw one!

I feel bad for someone like yourself as it is pretty obvious that you are in need of brain cells. If the refs fixed the game, why would they call holding to nullify Pittsburgh's rushing TD at the end of the 4th?

Im not even going to explain how it all works BG.

Instead Ill ask you one question.......if he wasnt involved, explain the look on his face after the Polamolu TD.

It was panic...oh fuck.....NO!!!! Someone do something, Anything.

Who is Green? The holding call would be a valid reason as to why it was fixed.

 

[Willie99]

The official admitted the TD should have counted, case closed. But throw in the facts that Pitt did dominate in every sense of the word domination except for that silly little 13-1 yellow flag stat, and the OP is on the money.

Charger backers should take the money and run, but don't come in here and claim SD was the "right side". That "right side" argument falls flat on it's face.

Yards 410-213
1st downs 24-16
TOP 36-23
TO 2-0
Safety
Sacks 4-2

the "right side"?

what about giving up 410 yards makes you defense strong? oh 13 penalties

 

[browniiiz]

This is the second time for me to be on the losing side of an obvious fixed game.

Wolfy, he might have been stunned by that play, because is was so fucking wild, not because he gave two shits about the spread.

 

[TheWolf]

When the NFL needs a side to come in, they inform the refs, the QB, and the coach.

If you got the gametape & reviewed it, you could find a ton of stuff that stunk in this game.

 

[enpassant]

Sorry, I meant Willy Parker. During Pittsburgh's final drive, Parker scored a rushing touchdown that was nullified by a offensive holding penalty. Are you saying the holding call is a valid reason for the game being fixed, because that makes zero sense.

 

[TheWolf]

Wolfy, he might have been stunned by that play, because is was so fucking wild, not because he gave two shits about the spread.

GO ahead and believe that. 300 yards passing and no TD's. Did he even throw a decent ball into the endzone? Run Mewelde Moore on 4th down with Willie Parker on the sidelines? This is worse than WWE wrestling sometimes.

Wow, over 9k posts and you think this way...I sort of feel bad for you. And to think, no player, ref QB or coach has every talked about this. Most be a huge conspiracy...

 

[TheWolf]

Sorry, I meant Willy Parkers. During Pittsburgh's final drive, Parkers scored a rushed touchdown that was nullified by a offensive holding penalty. Are you saying the holding call is a valid reason, because that makes no sense.

What? That TD wouldve covered the spread. Of course it was gonna be alled back. Theres holding on every damn running play, so the zebras can call it whenever they want. Thats why I like betting baseball......fukking scumbag officials cant take runs off the board. If the ball goes over the fence its a Homerun, no holding, no illegal block, no offsides. You arent taking runs off the board in baseball due to penalites.

 

[enpassant]

I will ask the question again, since no one can answer it. IF THE GAME WAS FIXED, WHY WOULD THE REFS NULLIFY PITTSBURGH'S RUSHING TOUCHDOWN ON THEIR FINAL DRIVE?
