    Steelers-Bengals Game Question

    I was hoping to see something ion this on the 'Net. I haven't looked extensively, but...

    On the opening series, the Bengals tried a WR screen. Polamalu CLEARLY hit the receiver before the ball got there. Not pass interference?

    So I thought... well, maybe they called it a lateral. That doesn't make sense, either. Why would they blow the play dead when the OL picked it up if it was a lateral?

    I heard NO mention of it from the broadcasters, except I think Collinsworth mentioned Troy hit him before the ball got there. He didn't say it should have been PI, though.

    What am I missing?

    You can make contact within 5 yards of the LOS?
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          Note 4: There can be no pass interference at or behind the line of scrimmage, but defensive actions such as tackling a receiver can still result in a 5-yard penalty for defensive holding, if accepted.

              I recall a play in a Bills/Bengals game back when Takeo was on Buffalo. It was supposed to be a middle screen, but Takeo absolutely crushed the running back while the ball was in the air. It ended up being a pick six because the RB was on the ground. This rule is why there was no call there, either.
              "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

              "Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."

                Anybody see the non call on punter Huber's jaw being broken? The td that stood?

                Dark days...refs are manipulating outcomes this season. IMO.

                  I was watching a UCLA game this year (can't remember the opponent), when the returner got called for roughing a defenseless player.

                  The punter.

                  Who was tackling him.
