    Good post Freak.........I read that elsewhere and indeed it has been obvious the last several Steeler games the opposition has not gotten holding calls..........while the Steelers accumulated a bunch of holding calls.......

    I found that unbalanced........and find it interesting that others saw the same thing enough so the write about it

    JewDago............as far as the so called non touchdown........

    denial is a wonderful thing..........replays showed the ball broke the plane while Holmes had possession and two feet down, that is the NFL explanation

    Thus the call was correct a TD...............simple as that NO further explanation needed..........but you can deny the ball broke the plane.........to me it was very close ..........in the booth the have stop action cameras and overhead cameras to view...........Their view said the ball broke the plane

    Good job Steelers against the hardest schedule in the NFL.........and tonight good job Ravens

    Two solid strong reps from the AFC North in the playoffs......

    Dallas losing already made my weekend

    Go Browns

    i haven't seen that replay, i guess. less denial, just simple ignorance. if there's conclusive evidence, that's cool. i'll admit that i apparently didn't see the overhead angle, just the one from the sideline where it looks like holmes has got the ball close to but not breaking the plane. do you have a link to video of it? i'd really like to see a conclusive answer.

    it was fun watching dallas lose, though, especially in their last game in texas stadium. one of the only times i've enjoyed watching the ravens take it to someone.

      I find it very interesting that it's only the players from the Steelers that are noticing all of this alleged holding. They wouldn't be biased or anything - would they?

        It's only the STEELERS players commenting on it. But those players from other teams wouldn't be biased or anything - would they?

        Sorry, but if you have not paid attention, the STEELERS players called out the refs for pussifying the league. The refs are not intentiionally screwing the STEELERS, but it is obvious they are not going to call the penalty on them unless it is blatent and they have no choice. It's also obvious that the STEELERS have been able to overcome this obsticle.

              I honestly don't give a damn if the Steelers "get away" with this or that.

              They play hard, unlike our Browns, and they WIN.

              Of coarse everyone is going to whine about it when it's their team losing to the Steelers.

              I'm sick of hearing people bitch, piss and moan about the Steelers while we wallow in mediocrity year after year, I want the BROWNS to be the team that wins year in and out everyone bitches about.

              3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

                  I just don't see it.

                  We need the right guy, no one with experience is going to want to come here with anything less than total control and going for another unproven is just tossing the dice again.

                  We need a miracle.

                  And a new front office.

                  And pretty much a new coaching staff.

                  And a new group of linebackers.

                  And more depth on the oline.

                  And at least one more "real" receiver.

                  And a running back.

                  And a lighter/ faster defensive end.

                  And a staph free medical facility.

                  But outside of those things, we're almost there!

                  3 seasons until our new head coach, let's hope they get it right this time.

                      Kicked your ass year in and year out. If we win this week and put in our second team nest week, you might win a game though. Good luck with that.

                      As far as the browns becoming a better team without Romeo, I agree in part. Romeo is one of the dumbest coaches in football but was put in place and kept in place by YOUR owners. Poor decisions on your leadership above Romeo have played a huge part in the problem.

                      Personally, I want Cleveland to become a powerhouse team. I don't like pushover games and want our division to be feared throughout the NFL. Nobody fears Cleveland because everyone knows that somehow the coach, players, owners, etc... will screw up the day for Cleveland. What Cleveland needs is a change of mind set. You have had the draft picks and should have been a much better team than you are. It's frustrating even as a division rival. Although it is nice to see some of the douchebag cleveland fans so upset. I feel for the long time fan that are not a-holes.

                        well you have a point there.... however, we are talking Offensive Holding a penalty that they say "Can be call on almost any play you see in the NFL... and 6 games 24 quarters ?? I dont know brother.

                              I have no evidence more than you.............I was just informed by two sources one the NFL that video sources (overhead ??? reported as one) ...showed the ball breaking the plane and him having possession and two feet down

                              meanwhile........Dallas getting whipped was so cool

                              Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

                                Actually, it's the players that are making the comments in the article - not the fans.

                                The players are humorously laughing it off.... what you gonna do ? didnt hurt us too much.... Till today, and Today ...when just plain got our Jocks torn out and stuffed in our mouths ! YUCK !
