    Pretty funny - Steelers get the review they really shouldn't, and all it's going to do is cost them a time out they could very well need.

    Did Tomlin pressure the refs into looking at the fumble and accepting the challenge?

    I was just going to say that. I also noticed Manning talking to Tomlin and Roethlisberger.

    The biggest thing I've noticed with these officials is that they have trouble keeping up - whistles are too slow, flags are too late, etc.

    There are times that a coach tosses the flag but an official doesn't see it, and there's a rule for that - you're out of luck. I really don't understand why simple things like this are confusing for these guys.

    On the replay looks like Tomlin did throw the flag before the play was snapped. It landed as the ball was snapped. I don't think the refs can go back and then say yes he did challenge it in time

    I can't believe Peyton has looked so good already.

    That was Tomlin trying to get away with one, he threw it too late. I like the idea of Pittsburgh going 0-2.

    Pretty clear who has been the better QB in this game.

    Roofiesberger throws a TD to Tracy Porter, in orange. Denver wins.

    Peyton Manning now has been on both sides of a Tracy Porter game ending pick six

    This defense just TEED OFF on the Steelers with a 2 score lead. They just abused him. 3 sacks in 4 plays.

    yeah refs have been very slow.

    But have they not watched NFL games before? Any fan could tell you that you can't go back and say "oh, he convinced me he threw the flag in time, we're going to allow the challenge."

    bengals go for it on 4th and 1 around the 5 yard line. Nice to see a coach actually make the smart call.

    Almost every coach kicks the FG.

    17-10 Ravens at the half

    Flacco looks great

    Im convinced the ravens are now the class of Afc North. Its no longer the Steeleers division imo.

    Yeah, I've never been much a Flacco fan, or at least didn't think he was as good as some hyped him to be, but between the AFC Championship last year and tonight, he's looking great.

    Definitely true. On offense and D I would take the Ravens right now. Maybe even coaching.
