At first when I saw the title of this thread I thought “that’s a ridiculous overreaction.” But upon pausing and considering for a moment, it left me with a question regarding such things: Is the severity of a bad called based on the actual divergence from the rules, or based on the impact it has on the game? For instance, there was a fairly ridiculous roughing the passer call against JPP tonight that was mentioned to be silly, but not examined as closely as the ones against Matthews. How much of that comes from the timing and the impact it has on games? For me, the RR “fumble” doesn’t seem that horrible, but if it had been on a game tying drive and the D had recovered, I’d be making my picket signs. this contributes nothing to this specific call, but is rather an overall observation I had while thinking through the OP.

Well, Fitz definitely fought back from the first half. It should be his job.

Rape?

The entire Bucs secondary needs to be cut. That's an impressive weather baloon.....

What is this random booger mcfarland sideline command post? was his BO too much for the booth?

I'm pretty sure the ref was thinking he might get hit if he didn't pick that one up.

I gotta be careful not to root too hard against the Bucs, my dad is wilting a bit here... Poor guy. 😄

If the steelers lose this, it might be the boiling point.

I wonder if ****ty defense follows Fitz...

For whom the BELL's toll.... humph.

Jameis who?

They showed it after the break and it was a hold- not a horrible hold, but a hold non the less.

We need to sign a petition to demand that every single hold call gets shown on replay.

Fitz still can't help but play with his heart on his sleeve. Sometimes I think that guy does more with less natural talent than just about any other NFL QB I've ever seen.

Right call- bad rule.
