Pitt/Ravens game Fixed?

LMAO i didnt have much on this game .. but this was fixed .. IN ALL MY YEARS OF WATCHING A FOOTBALL GAME I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DEFENSIVE HOLDING CALL ON A RUNNING PLAY.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER has this been called. That was comical. I have won money on the day so I'm not that upset about the loss of the bet. I just think its funny b/c that has never been called. Defensive holding on a RUNNING PLAY, LMAO!!!!

here's what cracks me up.....every single game everyone complains the steelers have the refs on their side

then they continue to bet against them lol

here, let me help you guys....if you believe a team has officials on their side week after week, stop betting against them

Fix talk make for good threads & good talk radio. I don't think that call makes it fixed. Steelers out played them entire 2nd half. But lots of flags in this one & pretty sure Harbaugh going to go off in his press conference. If you could read lips, he was pissed.

Balty outplayed in the 2H. Officials making bad calls all night. Game wasn't fixed though.....Tough loss for Balty backers like myself.

Sorry Jack you are pry right as far as radio talk didnt mean to bring it into the forum. Ravens Definately didnt deserve to win with the 2nd half performance but I hate to see anytime lose by a bad call and that call was so big the ravens D holds them to a fg there and they still got a very good chance. Either way I appologize for bringin it to the forum

I wasn't saying that. I was saying fix threads make good talk radio and good threads here in forum. No worries man, post what you want here for the most part

It might have been a bad call at the time but to call it "fixed" is quite a stretch. Defensive lineman can and do hold but it usually isnt called. If a ref saw it and called it, it may have been bad timing so late in the game at a critical point, but I dont think refs for the most part see it that way. That call didnt blow the game for the Ravens. The Steelers outplayed them in the second half and deserved a hard fought win. The Ravens offense was anemic, they made way too many mistakes, and their D gave up that huge play at the end. Thats why they lost. No way that game was fixed, not based on one call.

If you didnt see the defensive hold on the replay, then you didnt want to see it. You cant grab a handful of jersey on a play like that right in front of the refs. Leaves them little choice but to call it IMHO

Always something funny happens in Steelers games. And Chargers games. Especially when they play each other. Not fixed,.. just weird shit happens (like that fumble return for a TD... that was weird).
