Pitt’s center got an offsetting personal foul call on that play, but there was no punch. The rule never changed, if the refs see you throw a punch you’re out.
And here we go with the myth of all the calls go for the Steelers again. Guess you didn’t watch the Monday night game against Cinci where the Steelers took a roughing the passer call when the defensive lineman got thrown into the QB by an o-lineman, and then on the next play they got called for pass interference in the end zone when the cover man didn’t touch TO until after the ball hit the ground, those two calls led to a Cinci TD closing the gap to 6. And heck even in this week’s game, the Raiders only scoring drive was aided by a roughing the passer call that featured almost no contact. There were at least 3 calls yesterday against the Steelers that were 100% bogus personal fouls on little or no contact. People only remember bad calls against the losing team, if the team wins those bad calls just magically disappear. Which is why people think calls go for the Steelers, they win a lot so most of the calls against them get forgotten.
Hey, take off your rosy Steeler glasses and re-read what I said. The STEELER announcers SAW two punches being thrown by STEELER players. I did NOT say the if the refs saw it or not. If the STEELER announcers SAW it, then it HAPPENED. Who knows why refs looked the other way. Beats me. But I just told you what the STEELER announcers SAW and what they EMPHATICALLY SAID multiple times.
Also, please re-read what I wrote....I will re-phrase it for you as it seems it didn’t quite sink in past that Steeler helmet you’re wearing...MOST OF THE TIME, the calls go both ways but when THE GAME IS ON THE LINE....
Sheesh, you should quit while you’re ahead and quit digging yourself into a hole with the black and gold shovel.
