Uh-merican Football

I just want to take this opportunity to proclaim that I no longer understand the rules of football. So, like, James Harrison delivering a mid-chest tackle to Ryan Fitzpatrick durning which the top of his helmet makes incidental contact with the bottom of the QB's facemask is a 15-yard personal foul, whereas 17 Bills linemen jumping on Ben Roethlisberger and driving his head in the turf while they repeatedly punch him in the gut trying to strip the ball even though he is already down is a legal play. Chris Kemoeatu jogging off the sideline is apparently a hold, whereas seven Buffaloes horsecollaring a Steelers lineman is a legal block.

Had the Steelers lost, I wouldn't have blamed it on the officiating. I would have blamed it on Emmanuel Sanders consistent ability to turn upfield before he actually catches the ball. But still, I am starting to get the distinct scent of An Example Being Made.
