Week 12

Anthony Lynn is being totally crucified by all and sundry, in a way that I can't even recall happening to Norv Turner or Mike McCoy. Granted, Turner kinda predates the enormous social media explosion of the past ten years, but both he and McCoy HC'd some absolute stinkers as Chargers coaches, but they never got comprehensively torn to shreds by onlookers like this. I think perhaps it's the spotlight of having a rookie QB performing at an unexpectedly high level that is really holding Lynn's feet to the fire, but regardless, he fully deserves all the criticism he's getting. 

He's seemingly told the playing staff that playoffs are 'probably' not happening this season. Talk about giving people a licence to quit and mail the season in...

This Steelers uni makes them look like the sort of tinpot High School outfit you see in the background of Louis Theroux 'weird US' documentaries.

"Linus murdered both his parents at 7 years old. He's rehabilitated, and plays Tight End for his High School football team"

That’s blatant cheating

Steelers have form for it. 

Couple of years ago the Chargers were lining up to kick a chip-shot game-winning FG.  The Steelers just kept repeatedly, deliberately jumping offsides, in the hope that eventually the refs would blow the call and they'd block/miss the kick. Think the Chargers finally got it between the sticks on the 4th or 5th attempt.

Classic giveaway you're a zero IQ player - trying to pick off a 4th down pass when you are 10 yards behind the LoS and running in the wrong direction.

And being visibly gutted by not picking it off for a good while after too. Would have been stupid to catch it.

How the f**k is that roughing the passer?

I think it's time there was a two-tier penalty for RTP, like they used to have with facemask.

That's clearly not RTP, but the zebras have the league breathing down their neck so err on the side of caution. When it's one of those calls where it's 'maybe' a penalty for landing on top of the QB, call it 5 yards but no automatic first. Keep the automatic firsts for the blatant cheap-shots.
