Not happy about the Ravens win, would much rather play Denver at home so I could watch Peyton squirm like a little bitch!

Now I'm afraid it's going to be my beloved Brady squirming

If Suggs plays like he did against Pittsburgh, it'll be a long afternoon in Foxboro.

Shudddup!!!!

Lions weren't robbed. The Lions getting PI on an underthrown ball to a reciever who pulled on the facemask of the defender would have been a tragedy.

That is your fandom talking.

it was penalty..............hence the FLAG.

If the flag wasn't thrown I don't think it would have been an issue, nobody would have noticed or questioned it. But because it WAS thrown....well, then they examine every little second of it. Happens to every team

But..................it was thrown. it really doesn't matter though. GB is going 2 smack the Cowboys down, HARD.

Is the long reign of defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau drawing to an end in Pittsburgh?

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin declined to say on Tuesday if the 77-year-old play-caller would return in 2015.

"Again, I haven't talked to Dick," Tomlin told reporters. "I'm not going to get to all of that. For the many reasons I've already outlined."

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted the contrast in Tomlin's response after the coach once laughed off the idea of LeBeau retiring in a previous postseason press conference.

Pittsburgh's typically top-five-level defense has struggled in recent years. The Steelers finished as the No. 18 unit this season after posting the 13th-ranked outfit in 2013.

Ron Cook of the Post-Gazette noted that LeBeau was "unusually testy" when asked by reporters last month if he wanted to return to the team he's served with since 2004.

"The only thing that we can talk about here is our football team and getting ready for a football game," LeBeau said before Pittsburgh's Week 14 bout with the Bengals. "I don't give it any thought. I haven't given it any thought in the past 10 years that we talked about it. It's something that's to be decided down the road. It's not the topic of any conversation right now. We're in a pennant fight."

We asked on the latest podcast if the entire Steelers coaching staff -- including Tomlin -- might be under review after Saturday's disappointing playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Tomlin appears safe, but the vibe around LeBeau is entirely different. We wouldn't be shocked to see Pittsburgh make a move here, even toward a shift in responsibilities that would keep the trusted lieutenant around as a consultant.

Green Bay is -6 and the Over Under is 53.

The only thing keeping me from putting money on Dallas is a Texas team playing in the cold weather. Dallas can take it to Green Bay, no doubt. They put down some good Eagles, Lions, Seahawks teams. The Pack is far from invincible. The Lions and Saints did 'em, whom the Cowboys have wins over.

All teams are beatable..............GB in Lambo is almost a lock.

And..........it was picked up. That ball was not catchable. The defensive player did not initiate contact. Picking up the flag was the right call to make.

LeBeau may be on his way out but the question is which players need to go with him? I mean, damn.....they didn't even look like they were trying to win on Saturday.

Agreed....Cowboys are a different breed this year. They have looked SB ready. GB played the Vikings, Lions and Bears twice and then played the entire NFC South. That W-L record is inflated.

No doubt Romo needs to play way over his head, but when you take everything into account, the 'boys have a great chance. Rodgers is hurting and the GB Def is nowhere near what they just faced in the Lions Def. The only thing that worries me is the weather. The 'boys will need to be mentally strong to fight through it.

The NFL has admitted it made a mistake in not calling a blatant hold committed against Suh on a critical 4th down play. They came clean because the Lions threatened to go public with the video, according to WFAN's Mike Francesca.

Way to go, refs.

Hopefully LeBeau will gracefully stepped down. He did what he could with a makeshift secondary and assorted injuries to Linebackers this year. That said there are still more questions than answers on defense. The offense was mainly responsible for getting this team to 11-5. We thank Harrison and Kiesel for lighting a fire under this defense but the youth movement needs to continue. Troy may need to gracefully step down too.

I agree.

I also agree they should all retire as Steelers, but I don't agree with you with the Ravens/Patriots game. Though I would like to see a Colts vs Packers superbowl.

I'm pulling for the Ravens mainly because I don't respect that coward Blount who quit on the Steelers in November. This is definitely the all puke game for me. That said if the Ravens don't get pressure with their front seven Brady will torch their weak secondary. Flacco Put up pedestrian numbers against the Steelers and the Steelers left the middle of the field open all night. That won't happen against the Patriots Linebackers and Revis and Browner. The Steelers shut down the Ravens running game and I don't see Forsett having much success against the Patriots d-line either. Even if the Ravens hold the Patriots to 27 I don't see Ravens offense putting up more than 17.

The Raven's IMO are not the same team we saw a few years ago when they beat the Patriots. I think we have a good shot at this, but I'm still nervous. I picked a bad time to give up booze.

If they want to apologize for missed calls:



Simply put, the PI flag was the wrong call, and they did the right thing in picking it up. The Suh holding miss is just one of MANY missed flags that night. Cowboys-Haters weren't crying foul in the first half when the Lions were able to be up 17-7.

Exactly, and I love how Cowboy fans are trying to spin this on social media. If it happened to their team, they'd scream bloody murder. Lions got fucked, end of.

Nothing will please me more than seeing Dallas get iced at Lambeau. Fuck them and their front-running fans. Big Blue Nation is Going Green this week - GO PACKERS!

I can't wait until the cheaters are sent home Sunday night.

The fact that folks are claiming the Lions weren't rob just ticks me off even more.

Go Packers.

The Cowboys won't get those same calls this week against the Packers, they can forget that!

I think the Colts have a shot at taking out The Broncos

I don't give Carolina a shot at winning in Seattle

That Ravens - Patriots matchup is the one I'm looking forward to most, the Ravens seem to have the Patriots number as of late, should be fun!

it is amazing that people are calling dallas cheaters? for one bad call that was casused in part by facemask? and the 2 or 3 other fouls that were not called on the lions that same game?

these MOFOS kill ME! so now let's go back and scrutinize ALL the missed calls that went the Lions way as to nullify the point, that the zebras were on the take to keep "America's Team, the BitchassBoys playing to maximize their bottom line. All sorts of calls will be missed in the course of a game, but the OBVIOUS one at the most crucial time? LET ME NOT FAIL TO MENTION THE F-ING ZEBRA THREW THE FLAG AND PICKED IT UP!!! they tried to Jedi mind trick 90,000 ppl. Like i said, i don't ride the Conspiracy bus, but THIS SHIT HERE!!!? I'M sorry, but go eat a dick if you think otherwise in this case!
