Wow! No confidence in the kicker there...

Terrible throw by Flacco... or was it tipped?

Yeah me too. Speaking of bad officiating, did you see the uncalled holding on the final play? The commentators were hilarious "holding, holding .. doesn't matter it wasn't called...." hahahaha.

Chalk another game given away explicitly by failed officiating. The missed late/excessive hit call was bad as well.

So how many $1000's of dollars in fines will the league levy after this game?

Oh and Suck It Baltimore! ;)

Harrison himself just said that hit shouldn't have been called. Hah I respect him for his honesty.

It probably is a non-call... except they've been calling that. To stop now is just stupid. AT LEAST BE CONSISTENT!

Yeah I think he's been unfairly singled out for sure. I applaud him for sticking to his guns, if his shots shouldn't have been flagged, then no way should that guy be flagged either. I understand the concern for player safety, but this isn't badminton. Hard hits are an integral part of the game. I'm still lol at the K.O., and happy that the guy is okay. He's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year if not millions, I'm sure most of us would be willing to trade a bonk on the head once in a while for that kind of action.

The missed holding call on the final play was ludicrous. That gave the game to the Steelers, and it wasn't just a touch-hold, it was a running hold for several seconds lol.

The NFL has the worst officiating of any pro sport.

Ravens suck. They deserved to lose. They are a totally defensive football team, not the Texans. Steelers didn't really have any great drives all game long, but they decided to pass it on 2 and 5, up 4 with 3 minutes to go. Troy comes up with a huge play and that's the game.

Refs miss calls all the time. They can influence the game to a degree but good teams find a way to pull it out. Congrats to the Steelers for coming up big when it counted.
