    Thoughts on the officials ejecting Eric Reid for the hit to Roethlisberger? It was clearly a penalty, but I was surprised they threw him out.

    Maybe he does get those calls. But I agree with it.

    Roethlisberger's night is over early in the fourth quarter. He completed 22 of 25 for 329 yards and five touchdowns. Is the Panthers' defense that bad?

    No. But tonight it is.

    This is by far the best the Steelers have looked all season offensively or defensively. The score won't show how good the defense was after a slow start. The pass rush was all over Newton all night.

    The only downer is Conner going to the locker room to be checked for a concussion.

    I liked the over but didn't think one team would get it by themselves.

    Carolina couldn’t block Pittsburgh’s D.

    Without a doubt you toss Reid there. This isn’t 1976 in the NFL.

    I get why Reid was tossed. He didn't give Ben's head anywhere to go on that play. At least, FWIW - and I can understand those who support the Steelers and Roethlisberger who will not accept it - that Reid apologized.

    But I also agree that the call has been inconsistent. Cam Newton has been hit, and the usual narrative is "he's a running back when he's not dropping back and looking to throw" or simply "he's fair game," at least within reason. Ben was clearly down the field and was running downfield.

    Can't wait to see some people zoom in on Reid because of his personal stance regarding the anthem and their attempts to link the issues ...

    The thing is, Roethlisberger is often in the same situation as Newton, not getting those types of calls.

    I just wanted feedback because I was wondering how much my bias as a Steelers fan was affecting my judgement on the play. The funny thing is, I had a few people get angry with me on another message board for questioning that and arguing that the officials blew the call on the McDonald touchdown. Maybe I'm not such a fan after all?

    Curt Menefee on Thursday night football fawned over a felon convicted for violent racism. This was to promote Wahlberg's new PC movie. This symbolizes everything that is wrong with the NFL/FOX.

    Nobody gets uncalled head blows more than Newton. Come on, man.

    It gets closer when you count Ben's motorcycle crashes not wearing a helmet.

    I don't watch Newton enough to be sure of the comparison. I do watch Roethlisberger enough to say he takes more uncalled hits that aren't called than he should.

    I doubt you see enough of both guys to be sure.
