Matt Schaub easily gets first down on 4th and inches, official signals first down, then other ball gets moved, then other official calls for measurement, then ball gets turned over to Steelers. Of course, Houston's Coach, Gary Kubiak is livid on the sideline, screaming at officials, and just challenged play.
After review, call goes Pittsburgh's way, Houston gets charged timout.
Game Commentator just noted, " I don't see how they couldn't have spotted that past the first down marker"
Gary Kubiak now joins the ranks of Mike Holmgren, Romeo Crennel, and several others who protest the officiating after facing the Steelers.
Fans in Houston now know what it feels like to be a Seahawks fan, Browns fan, or fan of any other team that faces the Steelers.

What a BS call - sucks that there was no "indisputable evidence" because it was just a big pile-up, but Schaub clearly got the 1st down, the official motioned that he got the first down, and then another official pushed them a yard back. Ridiculous.

Willie Parker's TD run, Hines Ward essentially tackles the linebacker that would have hit Willie Parker. The announcer comments "Hines Ward got away with holding there." -Of course, no call.
Lamar Woodley cracks Matt Schaub in the head with his forearm as he tackles him. - No call.

Their o looks good, but it helps when your recievers are allowed to hold and push off and there is no repercussion. I may turn the channel, I've seen this movie before.

Houston's defense looks really really bad. There wasn't a DB within 10 yards of Ward on that TD play.
Houston's offense doesn't look much better. They're playing about as well against Pitts as we did on opening day last year. It doesn't help at all that they're getting themselves into 3rd and longs where Pittsburgh can throw everything but the kitchen sink at them.
Edit: Man, Schaub is TERRIBLE.

LOL, Houston gets a couple first downs, and some offensive momentum, and then an offensive pass interference penalty is called.

Man, if I wanted to see run run pass kick possessions against Pittsburgh, I'd throw on a Browns tape circa 2004.
At least they already got to Roethlisberger once.

They're making it so easy for Pittsburgh's D... "Hey, we're going to run for a loss on first, run for another loss on second, then obviously have to pass on third and long. Maybe a screen on a third and 14 will fool you."
I was thinking maybe they'd bring in their backup QB, but its...Sage Rosenfels...

Well let me just say that Terrell Suggs was lined up at corner against Houshmandzadeh and the play went for a loss......

The Texans aren't out of it.
Their D made some Adjustments, they are stunnting Okoye and Super Mario on passing downs.
Super Mario split 2 Steeler double teams and sacked ben and a forced fumble
Been got up limping because Okye put a shot on him....The Steelers line is finally starting to come down to earth
Don't underestiamte Kubiak...that guy is a genuis..look for him to make some significant half-time adjustment...The Texans D is starting to wake up..they are far from out of this football game...

OMG, the just called a defensive Holding against a Houston lineman on a 2 yard Steeler run. The commentator promptly aired the replay and then commented "I didn't see any holding at all." Of course the holding leads to a Steeler first down. Why bother playing, why not just come out and say "We've decided that the Steelers are going to win, watch if you want, or don't, either way we are going to make it obvious that we are giving this one to the Steelers."
