Actually, as Kati pointed out, Hines has been getting flagged left and right this season. The NFL passed a bunch of rules during the offseason which they should have called the "We Hate Hines Ward Rules" because every one made stuff he's known for illegal. And yet, the next time the refs make a bad call in the our favor, you'll see 400 bitter fans from other NFL cities (particularly Seattle) whine about how the NFL always favors the Steelers.

I didn't even bother reading your entire post.. because I actually got the game this weekend (damn Cleveland).. it was EMBARRASSING. Plain and simple.... Robyn.. Hines seems to be getting an awful lot of penalties this season.. really.. its annoying. On the topic of Mike Tomlin.. I have said it before.. I am NO football expert.. I know barely enough to get through the game.. really.. but I like him. He is a very personable person and really.. he has a superbowl title after just a few years as a head coach.. that is more than many coaches who have been in the game for 10-15-20 years.. he obviously knows what he is doing.

Any time he touched anyone, it was a penalty. Pass Interference when you block a guy AFTER the receiver caught the ball??? WTF!! Was it just me, or were the refs gunning for Hines Ward all game?

He's never shown himself to be particularly great at managing a game. Even back to his first season when he blew that playoff game against JAX by going for like a billion 2 pt conversions. There are a lot of times when I have no idea what he's thinking when he makes his decisions. And Terry, I don't think we totally overreact and start talking about Tomlin being a terrible coach because of 2 losses. However, you're right that he doesn't seem as upset with the level of play as he should be. Cowher would've drown half the defense in spit after seeing some of those blown coverages.
