What We All Missed
-
So I was looking through some highlights today, and I came across something very interesting. During the play where Colt McCoy gets his head torn off by James Harrison, everyone was either focusing on the play that impossibly converted the 1st down, or Colt McCoy getting his teeth knocked out of his skull. What no one noticed, until now, is that Alex Smith goes out on a crossing route and gets jacked up on the play by Polamalu, when the ball wasn't even thrown. This was CLEARLY a penalty and should have been called.
Look on the bottom right of the screen and you will see the hit. Anyone else find this appalling?

Well it is within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage (where contact is allowed) but the hit was from behind (which isn't allowed). So I'm not sure if it would have been a 15 or 5 yard penalty, but you can't have more than one penalty enforced anyway. It's not like you can add them together and move the Browns 30 yards down field. Polamalu's hit on Smith would have been declined and while it was cheap, it wasn't near dirty enough for a fine so it's a non issue.
But good catch. I didn't see that before because of Harrison's dirty hit..
Edit: Actually watching the video again, I noticed a Browns wide receiver (maybe Evan Moore) lighting up a defensive back of the steelers right behind Polamalu lighting up Smith. Moore hit the db from the front at least but I'm not sure that is allowed behind 5 yards either. It's right around 51-52 seconds..

Ha thats a good catch, He even gets up and is like what the hell reg wheres the flag! Also saw the Moore hit, maybe the play was designed to go right to Smith and Moore was responsible to seal off the DB, or maybe the DB just backed up into his route or something.
-
In Head and SHoulders' defense, Colt did tuck it, and he took Smith out before Smith could block him. It's still dirty to hit a player in his back, though.

i dont think there's any group of fans that loves to cry more than this one right here.

Actually, this wouldn't be getting all that much run if your fan base did not spend all last year crying over the consequences or the dirty hits your players make....or shall we say, the illegal hits. So, you basically brought it upon yourselves by your whining.
If your boys want to do the crime, then do the time. Keep your eye on the sparrow!!:

Troy Pollyisfullofpoopoo has been a cheapshot artist since college. It's how the squeelers win games they
wouldn't otherwise win. Like winning a hundred grand at the lottery, then resorting to robbing banks and killing
bank tellers because you ran out of money.
The entire squeeler org is now a gigantic collection of dirtbags.

Whines Hard and that crying baby look eerily similar, speaking of pussies.

What I find funny is the fact that Steelers fans have to always run their mouths and get all pissy about the fact that not everyone in the world is a Steelers fan!

exactly. and they get pissed cuz we're pissed about a couple of thugs and their actions on the field. they call it 'whining'. so we browns fans 'whine' on a browns forum. yet they come on the browns board and 'whine' about how much we're 'whining'. really? you have to stick your head onto our forum and tell us how not to act?
so who's the biggest 'whiners'?
exactly stool fags.

Why anyone would be intimidated to play the Stoolers is beyond me. Between this and Harrison crying because he can't lay cheap shots and threatened to retire, I don't see why anyone would take these estrogen-laden players and estrogen-laden fans seriously. All the players do is cry,and all the fans do is cry.

THAT'S IT, I'm not coming back!! I'm going to retire!!" -
You Clowns also missed Phil Taylor rack up his 2nd illegal hit fine of the year. He's only a couple of shot away from a suspension himself, and he's only a rookie! Poor guy will probably end up missed multiple games in his career for DIRTY hits!

only a guy with a username like silverback would stick up for a roid monkey.

As long as they are on Steeler players and they are put out of action.....its fine with me.
