lol Stealers...Succups to be you.

amazing. lol stealer's

nice that's nice

When the Chargers went for it on that fake punt inside their own 20, I knew it was our DESTINY to lol Steelers.

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. It would have been much better to lolstealers' in the playoffs, like Tebow did.

LOLSTEALERS

LOL STEALERS

NFL admits KC should have gotten a re kick at the end of the game. LOL steelers!!!

Free your mind, bro. The Steelers haven't made the playoffs since the 3:16 game. They haven't even had a winning season since the 3:16 game. In 2012, a heartbreaking loss in overtime to the Cowboys enabled the rival Ravens to win the division and eventually the Super Bowl. In 2013, Steelers fans have to witness the even-more-unfathomable: after a nearly perfect parlay of unlikely and serendipitous events, the Steelers are ultimately eliminated from playoff contention due to a refereeing "error" -- namely, Succop should have been allowed to rekick, as per the NFL's own admission. Most of us expect the Stealer's to be granted the rekick regardless of the rules, or at least for Succop's kick to have been ruled good regardless of its proximity to the goalposts, or for a phantom defensive holding penalty to enable an untimed down. Not this year. But what's even better -- they haven't had a losing season since the 3:16 game.

You see, my friend, Tebow has conquered the soul of the Stealer's and claimed it as one of his own. Ref riggage can't reclaim souls. A soulless shell of themselves, they are doomed. Now lacking a soul, Tebow has vanquished the Stealer's to the worst of fates in the NFL: the Fate of Mediocrity. Long the fate owned solely by the Seahawks, the Fate of Mediocrity is the worst sentence in the NFL. Not good enough for the playoffs, or if you luck out, not good enough to win in the playoffs. Not bad enough to draft a player good enough to shake the Fate of Mediocrity and likewise not bad enough to make for an endearing "loveable loser" franchise. Always hope, always hopes to be dashed. Always just enough success to preclude success. Just enough success to keep the GM, keep the coach, keep the raping QB (but hey, we MUST cut the pot-smoking WR! We have PRINCIPLES!), keep the aging linemen, and keep the perpetual tepidity.

Nay, my friend. There is not much more we could wish for than enjoying the enduring mediocrity that is the new fate of this soulless stealer's franchise. We know when it started. It won't end.

Somone needs to combine coachonthefield.gif with the missed FG...coach polling the ball or goalpost or something.

Let me summarize the playoff race for those that haven't seen it:



Or let me put it differently...

I'm a steelers fan but even I have to admit we got our karma this yeAr there was lots of opportunities to lol steelers

WE GOT 6

months until we know who we drafted

Wow this just keeps getting better

You gotta wonder what the ref was thinking here.

Looool. Lol steelers never fails.

lol steelers?

Pretty obvious what he was thinking...

I will also say this:
Anyone saying anything about refs rigging games for the steelers haven't watched games the past two years. Yeah the steelers were lucky both in calls and bounce of the ball for a number of years but have been significantly -ev the past two.

Watching that Succup kick live, he sure seemed nonchalant about it. It ended up being a smooth and straight kick, but it went right where it should have, just missing to the right.

This was his least important kick in the NFL, and it will be his least important game winning kick ever. You can see that he didn't take the time to line up properly. The ball went straight as an arrow, and I sensed this as he was about to kick. It just didn't feel good if you were rooting for the Cheifs, against the Chargers, or for the Steelers.

There is a certain feeling you get when watching kicks, and it doesn't matter if you are rooting for a miss or a make, but there is a comfort level you have with the side you are on. The worst is when you know a big bomber of 55 yards is going to beat you, and just as bad is when you are uncomfortable with a kick that is made 85 to 90 percent of the time. 41 yards is not quite in the automatic zone, but it is real close. Look at how he is lined up. The fake punt fumble fiasco in OT is enough to want to swear off watching the NFL forever. This has become a circus. It has to be the least amount of enjoyment one can get when watching sports. But how do you stop watching? It is just plain insanity every week, whether you are betting or just rooting for a team. In about a month I am swearing off watching the NFL for at least 7 or 8 months.

I was a fan of Andy Reid this year. Until now. What he did at the end of the half with 40+ seconds left near mid-field was inexcusable. The Chiefs had just received a punt at their own 40, and he basically ran one play and let the clock run out. It is fine to bench the starters, but to basically give up there showed a lack of respect for the game. That decision cost the Steelers at least a few percentage points of win value.

That's one explanation. I'm pretty sure it was...

I agree that if there is Karma in this world, that it is a just result that the Steelers be denied. However, the Chargers deserve to lose there more. I mean, you just have to lose when you are 14 to 15 point favorites at game time and you play like that. The Chargers franchise is known for devasting losses, and this would have fit in nicely, and it would have put an end to Philip Rivers being elite talk. He is so bad.

Philip Rivers is so awful. He deserved to lose. The Steelers are about 90 percent to go to the playoffs when Succup is lining up for that kick (maybe higher, as they are around 50-50 to win, even if he misses...could be close to 95 percent). That is a pretty bad beat after dodging bullets for two weeks and getting all of those games to go right for you.

At least Flacco and Cutler, and Romo are out. Time to watch the Big Dogs operate.
