You're right. Briscoe did drop a pass or two. But Hankerson dropped 4 or 5 thrown his way.

Ref equally at fault? Not in the real world Dummy Hall. Granted the Steelers got a lot of favorable calls (or non-calls), no way was he in fault for your stupidity.

wilson is fine, but he needs to be the #2 CB. I wouldn't bother with another expensive WR unless he knows how to rush the passer either.

This topic just came up on PTI but i just wanted to beat it to death in case it hasn't been yet. The fact that RG3 lined up at WR and went out for a deep ball and proceeded to get absolutely flattened is ridiculous. That play should have never been called... I don't want my entire franchise getting obliterated because of a stupid play call - just another chance for defenses to take him out.

could have fooled me.

anyways, i don't think it was a bad call. i think morgan should have thrown it away since griff wasn't wide open, problem solved.

seems as though they edited that, but they did initially say that he lined up at wr

Moss has more TDs than the rest of the WR corp combined. But even he had the dropsies last wknd.

I spect the WR corp to rebound nicely this week though.

No. Players shouldn't have to "think" for the coaches for eff sakes. It was a playcall/design you'd expect from Jim Zorn.

Edit: the differing reactions though just floor me, and I can't get over it. Zorn was/would be lambasted by everyone here and the entire media for swining gate, which is the equivelant of what we saw last Sunday. Yet the Shanahans are largely given a pass. I guess that's the benefit given to legacy coaches.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

Shanahan said he should have made it clear to Morgan not to throw the ball unless Griffen was WIDE OPEN. Yeah.....probably.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

I don't have a problem with the call either, Morgan just shouldn't have thrown it unless RG was running wide open.

Re: Steelers 27 Skins 12 post game thread
 

i assumed it was made clear to morgan that he shouldn't throw it unless griff was wide open. i thought that was standard procedure for those type of plays.

if shanny failed to make that clear, that's a big mistake, and it's his - not morgan's

Whether he's open for the catch is irrelavent. One of the hardest hitting safeties in pro football is sitting back there. Just irresponsible (and desperate) to put your franchise QB, the only guy making your offense work, in that position.

Again, the hypocrisy between how fans hold Zorn accountable but not Shanahan is just mind-blowing. If anything, Zorn should be given the benefit of the doubt because he had much less to work with offensively and he was a newer coach. Just mind-blowing...

i just said that if shanny didn't make it clear to morgan (not to throw the ball unless griff was wide open), then he is accountable for that mistake.
