2018 NFL Monday morning recap week 16

Steelers: Since Grandma got knocked over by the Christmas tree, I got to watch my game. Only I had to watch in a condo with twenty-plus people milling about. It wasn't ideal. I blame them for our loss. Oh, and the refs.

  • Worst officiating happened in this game. The refs have been confused all year, but this game? It took the cake. Terrible. The NFL really needs to address what happened in this game.
  • The Steelers played the better game. Should've won it. I feel bad for JuJu, who fumbled at the end as the Steelers worked to come back. I hope he doesn't beat himself up over it. Shit happens.
  • Probably the fake punt is what did us in. I get why Tomlin called it. Be aggressive, what the hell, but sometimes that trickery is better left until desperation time.
  • Now we have to rely on beating the Bengals who will not want us to win. And on the Browns to beat the Ravens. Put a fork in us. We can go back to those games against the shit teams like Denver and Oakland that we should've won. Same old, same old every year. It should be interesting to see how the Rooneys readjust.
Other:


  • Nice one hand grab while neck and neck with a defender by Jets TE Chris Herndon. He was totally diagonal as he stretched to make the catch to get the Jets into the red zone. Next, play the Jets scored.
  • Then there was Atlanta's punter Matt Bosher with the pick'em up and slam'em to the ground tackle on Carolina's punt BAM!
  • How about Packers Aaron Rodgers with the ballerina run, stop, and gentle shove against Jets Leonard Williams in trying to protect his lineman? Oh, Rodgers, please.
