<![CDATA[The Measurement]]>Does anyone have a screen shot of that measurement? You must know the one. I'd love to see it again.

Funny how these controversies are ignored by the "experts" at halftime and during the post game.

Do you not have anything more constructive to do with your life or what? You would think you would spend your time on a Steelers forum talking about your own team as opposed to coming here for hours and talking about ours. Let me guess could it be you Ohio natives really want the Browns to win deep down but your fragile ego's cant handle losing so until they win your sticking with shtsburgh? Come on and tell us why your devoting hours of your life to the Cleveland Browns?

Proof that we haven't seen enough to say for sure!

Here's what I did:

I placed the football and the pole on the floor and took two pictures. I tried to take the picture from exactly the same angles left and right, I didn't move the ball, and it clearly shows that we may just have been getting a bad view on TV.

from a couple feet to the right of straight (on the Steelers side of the line of scrimmage)

and

2. f_uin8l2gifjjm_54cef56.jpg

from the same distance left of straight (on the Browns side of the line of scrimmage)

ROTFLMAO! That just made my day!

Stoner, that gets a freakin A for creativity. God bless ya!

I guess one cannot play with their "Rocket Launcher" while staring at pictures of the Rooneys ALL day long?!?!?!

Which gives you time in between "reloading" to create lame reenactments of blown calls.

Anything to justify all things Steeler

was asking the head ref to explain and got no explanation.

Browns 197 total yards

That's all that really matters in the end. SO MEASUREMENT THIS BITCHES!!! While I am with everybody that is was a bad call and the Steelers got lucky and away with one it still doesnt excuse the fact that Ben,Hines,Holmes,and Miller lighted the Browns defense up like a Christmas Tree much like I predicted would on Friday when Zombo was spewing out his bullshit about how the Browns defense is back and much better and would shut the Steelers down...

But look who's comes to the rescue Formerly Stoned

A 53 year old man that's posted "proof"... HELL NO, indisputable "PROOF"

With the aid of a Rock'm -Sock'm robot ,a HE-MAN action figure,and a box of Fruity Pebbles.he was able to recreate the action at HIENZ field ,right there in the front room of his 14 X 70 😆

I think it's very similar. Look at the pink face of the first down pole. That pole has a triangular face and you are able to see that face in the pic from the game. The bottom line is it doesn't matter. I can assure you there were more damning calls than that one in the game.

Yeah, I don't really care too much about it. You guys probably would've won with three less points.

The players on the field thought it was a BS call. The Browns coach thought it was a BS call. The pittsburgh newspaper thought it was a BS call.

you bring up a good point, but I think that what the players and coaches saw trumps what you did

Your lame ass pictures prove a point that the pictures from the game are NOT taken from an angle.

Is there like a price sheet that the NFL Refs give you guys prior to a season?

Favorable Spot $1200

Look the other way during a hold $500 (minimum of three)

Flag the second guy for a personal foul $1700 (if you gouge a guy under the pile) $3000 if you initiate the fight in open field

Shorten First down by two chain links $2000 between thirties, $3000 inside Red Zone

I dont blame you for being tired of losing I REALLY dont , but to totally lack common sense ? Amazing ... They are Cheating you on one call , and Turn around and try to make up for it a few plays later ? Dumb Dumb Dumb ...ANTEATER is the King of Dumb !!

If you don't like to hear what a Browns fan has to say, on a Browns board, get the hell outta here...

It's pretty simple. Give it a try.

It was shown from the Back Angle. We didn't get to see the Strait across shot . just the back angle, NO Way do the Refs call it a 1st Down if it wasn't ,please. Add to that IF the refs were "Helping" Pittsburgh they damn sure wouldn't have overturned Hines Wards TD which easily could have been ruled a Catch , esp. since it WAS Ruled a catch in the 1st place , and needed irrefutable evidence (Which there wasn't , he lost the ball on his 2nd Roll over) a little common sense here please. I don't blame you guys for being pissed in general , but the measurement had nothing to do with the loss. It was a First down.

i don't think that is the case. The Ball was moving around the whole time. He never secured it to his body. Esp when he hit the ground. IMO.

As far as the measurement goes, At what angle would you have to be looking at that for it to look short and be good is my question. I could see the other way around where it looked short but was good, I just dont see how that could work though. Seem no good to me.

That bad call led to three poinst for the Steelers. The non-call on the holding bad call got your team 7 points. 12 losses in a row, but its okay, blame others (refs) not yourselves.

The non pick call added seven points to your total.

Seriously though, you can't compare a holding call (subjective) to a measurement call (objective). The ball crosses the plain or it doesn't. I have never watched a football measurement and got fooled by the angle of the camera, that logic doesn't hold water. Besides, every measurement cameramen get right at the first down marker so they can zoom in. I can't fathom how an official could make a "mistake" on a measurement call. Get ready for the browns to file a grievance and the officials to come out with some BS statement then everyone will move on to next week.
