That certainly is a heat of the moment dumb decision. There' still double digit seconds on the clock. You already have the 1st down at the 2, time for a real shot at the EZ and an easy FG if that fails. Obviously DelRio and his staff do a poor job instilling situational awareness in their players.

Thank God this douchebag didn't score or contribute to Pittsburgh's game winning TD vs the Pats.

And Bryant acts like Burfict by trying to grab his leg, that's disturbing.

It was better IMO. Seems like you could call the ball being controlled or not. That's a referees decision. For example, this player had the ball and crossed the plane. Seemed an easier call then. Now you have to pick it out of a pig pile and judge whether it moved well after the what would have been a touchdown if a RB had it.

Let me say I preferred the old rules of 'what is a catch' (essentially: control the ball then two feet down). But under the old rules there still was that (though smaller) amount of time between the receiver has the ball under control but possession is not established. I could be mistaken but under the old rules a receiver could jump at the 1, catch the ball in the air as his momentum takes him across the goal line (including controlling the ball) but he still needed to come down with two feet in bounds(or elbow etc) to establish possession. Been a few years so I might be wrong on that.

But (and I don't think this is you) the rules as they are and how it is called say this was not a catch. The only argument against it is (100% he did lose control during the process) the receiver did do the two feet down-football move-whatever officially establishes possession to make breaking the goal line immediately a dead ball/a TD. But that just isn't the way the officials call it and that has surprisingly been relatively consistent. If you catch the ball as you are tilting, leaning, wavering, any appearance of falling that doesn't allow you to do a two foot driven football move then officials require you to maintain control through the process of falling to the ground.
This was a bad play by the receiver that cost the Steelers dearly.

That's about the average Steelers fan I know throwing and breaking things.

Arguably could have been a taunting flag. I hate players who feel the need to immediately taunt but right or wrong that one was executed perfectly and was funny (Gronk pointed and smugly chuckled in a way to imply "your karate's a joke!").

But the no call on the taunt (among the panoply of flags that could have been thrown) had zero effect. One play from scrimmage later Ben threw a couple yard slant that went for what seemed like 150 yards.

Biggest reg seas rd win... Since Edg James goalline stand... Fantastic

The woman to his left chuckling at the guy's antics is awesome. It is funny to be watching someone have an episode over a game (assuming they aren't one to go violent and start smashing TVs etc).
I really don't have a problem with the verbal outbursts. Emotions run high for these games and verbal outbursts at the TV can be part of the team fan-atics. But when you start throwing things? That's trotting into psychotic territory. Fortunately it appeared just a plastic bowl full of potato chips and at least he was joking/laughing at the end of the video. You get guys who have rage so bad where they can't calm down some/let it go - even start smashing glass/hard objects at walls, lights and electronic equipment. I think in fact that is medically defined as psychosis or psychotic that if you did that in front of a policeman or a doctor they would put you on a 24 hour hold with a straight jacket.

The most despicable team ever? The Charlestown Chiefs with their despicable chief punk being Dr. Hook McCracken
