The Pittsburgh ‘Stealers’ get number 6

Well, I have given it a week to sink in, and I guess now I will finally acknowledge a Pittsburgh Stealer victory.  I don’t like it any more than anyone else.  I do think that this should not have been the outcome of the game however.  I give much of the blame to the officials in the game.  If anything, it was not evenly called.  Be it a bogus roughing the passer call, or a pass that was called a fumble, the refs certainly didn’t do their job well.  I also give some of the blame to the Cardinals.  After watching this game, it shouldn’t have even been this close.  I think everyone saw what they were capable of in the second half.  I’m amazed that Haley gets a head coaching job after this game.  When you have the most dominant receiver in football You Should Use Him!  He got two passes thrown his way in the first half, and that is simply not enough.  Also, even though I have had some people disagree with me on this, at the end of the first half, they should not have been throwing a slant into the endzone.  Inside the five they should only have one pass call.  Fade to Fitz.  14 point swing.  Without that play, the refs would have had to work a little harder to give the game away.  Lastly, I don’t think the go ahead touchdown was a catch.  I could be wrong on this, but it appeared like one of his feet was on the other, not the ground.  

So Pittsburgh gets number six, and to me they lose their name.  They will from now on be referred to as the Stealers.
