Steelers get a BS holding call giving the Cards a safety which keeps the Cards in the game and they still have people accusing them of paying off the refs. That holding call was very subjective, if anyone was paying off the refs it was the Cards...

uhm, did you WATCH the game, with your EYES open? Im not a fan of either team, Im a Cowboys fan, who botched their chance, but I did see ALOT of fishy calls against the Cards. Yes, the Cards sucked in the 1st half, and actually started playing in the 2nd, and I'll be the first to admin, the steelers played VERY well- very consistantly, but the one thing that gets me, above it all, is this:
I think it was the 3rd quarter, the cards get a personal foul called, so the refs give the ball and 1st down to steelers. In the 4th, the steelers get the personal foul- which if you watch, was #92 hitting that one dude in the ribs, shoving him down, then as we went to get up, knocking him over, and they only take 15 yards? What about the turner over like the cards suffered? No standards across the board?
And the whole roughing the holder--- thats an iffy one for me, if it was fake, and it could have been, it was a very very good one. But my original example really got me thinking about the refs, let alone some of the other calls.
Again, I am not a Cards or Steelers fan...
GO COWBOYS IN 2009!
