View topic - Officiating Crews Continue to Target Hine Ward

[PGHeaven Profile]

I have been blasting the Steelers in all of my posts. There is one thing left unsaid. Thus far this season the Officiating Crews are showing an unmistakeable trend of watching Hines Ward with a microscope. The one OPI call was ok but the second one was outragous and served ONLY to show that there is a policy of watching Hines Ward underway

Just like the WWE referee having his back turned while one guy hits the other guy over the head with a chair. Oh the hypocricy.

I agree with your whole post, but especially this point. I am in no way blaming the officials for this or any other loss. Only whiny bitches do that. I am merely pointing out inconsistencies that need to be addressed with the league office.

After a review of the Game Logs for the first 3 games, James Harrison has drawn ZERO Holding penalties. Meanwhile, our offensive line has been flagged 4 times (Maxi-Pad x2, The Colon, and Kemo). Opposing O-Linemen were flagged once for holding on a run play and NEVER on a pass play. I think we all know the reality here. The question is what will it take to get a flag for Holding or Illegal Hands to the Face (also not called at least twice in the Bungle game)???

Hines Ward has been flagged once for Offense Holding and twice for OPI.

BTW.... did anyone else notice that, when Timmons batted down the Palmer pass, he was being held & subsequently tackled to the ground?

He does seem to get a flag early in games.
Kind of seems to be a warning fromt he refs.
