Turns out the last play of the game was illegal.

[fansince'76]

Meh. We got bailed out on the fumbled lateral. Should have never come to that to begin with. Also instructive that I don't see Steelers fans by the score whining and bitching about it, like many other fanbases would be (cough, Seahawks, cough)...

[salamander]

We lost, they won. I'm over it. Bring on next season.

[tube517]

Game over. We lost.

[BigPoppaG]

That's an article for folks who have nothing better to do then pick. We don't need to sound like the Seattle Seagulls an look for lame reasons why we lost and they won.

Bottom line is bad play by our D and our O led to the loss.
Too many injuries to our starters led to the loss.
Mike Tomlin playing injured players WAAAAAY to long led to the loss.
Ike Taylor thinking about his next vacation instead of covering his receiver led to the loss.
Having no deep safety and only covering the run on the last play led to the loss.
Pouncy promoting a rapper instead of being with his team and feeling their pain led to the loss.

Take your pick, there are a lot of them.

Bottom line, get healthy and get em next year!

GO STEELERS!!!

[Edman]

Doesn't mean jack shit. We lost and the season is over.

Just stop it.

[NJarhead]

Pic was taken long before the snap. If it mattered I'd say review one "just" before the snap and see if it's the same..., but it doesn't matter.

[7willBheaven]

It was not illegal...the NFL has reviewed it and even the old head of officials from Fox...Mike P...said it was within the rules...let it go...

[O'Malley]

I agree game set match... Get healthy and get em next year!

[GodfatherofSoul]

Yes, it's an illegal formation, 4 in the backfield max including QB. But, I watch snap formations all the time and the refs have let teams line up sloppy for YEARS, including the Steelers. Lots of plays I can't even tell who's on the line and who's in the backfield. I guarantee you you'll find 10-20 other plays with alignments just as sloppy as that one. Refs basically go by how you run your routes now unless it's an egregious formation.

[suitanim]

Not as bad as the illegal block that sprung the long run in the Jax playoff game. But, regardless, we LOST the game (The Bronco's are too shitty to have won it, we lost it) so on to next year!

[steelreserve]

Maybe it's illegal if you want to be a dick about it. But the bottom line is we didn't deserve to win that game, and a tight end lining up a couple feet out of position really had nothing to do with that.

[ALLD]

Did the Steelers get an offensive possession in OT?

[O'Malley]

Did the Steelers get an offensive possession in OT?

No the Broncos scored a touch down on their first play, game over!!!!

[Count Steeler]

Seriously? Officiating has been piss poor this year for all teams. THAT is something Goodell should work on. And I still can't believe that did not give the ball to Denver on the fumble, BACKWARD pass to Wallace.

Kevin and Omar these are for you :tt03: :tt02: Time to take center stage and work some magic this off season.

Here we go Steelers, Here we go. Let's go FO!

[st33lersguy]

The officiating was shitty period, and both teams benefited

We lost. Zero controversy, hats off to the Broncos.

Glad to see this board accepting the loss for what it is. Now THESE are true fans of the game of football.

[Moose]

Kind of interesting that it came out of a Denver paper though...wouldn't you say ?

[steel striker]

We lost and, thats the bottom line. They outplayed us and, they were the better team on Sunday. It pains me to say that but, that the truth.

This was already posted in another thread if I remember correctly. We lost. End of story. Time to move on and stop making excuses.

[Moose]

Sorry, didn't see another thread on it, just found it interesting. No excuses being made.

[stillers4me]

The only reason I'd hoped it was true is that maybe.....finally....the NFL would do something about the offiating if the refs cost a playoff game.


Nawww...that will never happen.

[Count Steeler]

Let's look forward to an exceptional off season. What is past is past.

[The Duke]

:yawn:

technicalities. They were beaten
