Poor Steelers! - Page 2

First they were ripped off by Zebras when the refs failed to stop the clock after a sack for Pittsburgh's FG attempt last week that would have won the game, then this week, they were denied an obvious TD when the refs ruled that the receiver did not break the plane. I'm a Chiefs fan, all the way, but it stinks to be Bill Cowher looking at an 0-4 start (and a possible firing) when in all fairness, Pitt should be 2-2 and in the hunt.

KCJohnny,

I'm more concerned about an AFC West team that is currently 2-2 when it easily could be 4-0 and considered with one of the elites with tie-breakers over the Titans and Colts.

Why do I get this sickening feeling that those two losses will haunt us in the 2000 play-off chase?

I've read a couple times that the officials should have stopped the clock after the sack at the end of the Pit.-Cle. game.I don't understand why the clock should have stopped though.It was not an incompletion,and it was not Out of Bounds.Did Pit.try to call time out?Someone please explain.

I feel bad for Bill Cowher,,,but at least it's not just us Raiders that get picked on.Look's like the officals are equally blind regardless of the color of the uniforms!

I'm with Anson's dad, why were they supposed to stop the clock on a sack? I'm not familiar with this rule?
