Receivers who have burned the Steelers secondary since Super Bowl XLIII

Greg Jennings (Photo credit: Chris Garrison)

Jordy Nelson (Photo credit: Brian Giesen)

Demaryius Thomas (Photo credit: rburtzel)

Here are a number of significant receptions of more than 20 yards by Steelers opponents since Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.

The Steelers addressed these defensive failures by firing their 4-year offensive coordinator (???), and by drafting 6 cornerbacks (Joe Burnett, Cortez Allen, Curtis Brown, Crezdon Butler, Keenan Lewis, Terrence Frederick).

Demaryius Thomas (80 yard TD, 2011-2012 playoffs)
Demaryius Thomas (71 yard TD, week 1 2012-2013 season)
Chris Chambers (61 yard catch, week 11 2009)
Louis Murphy (75 yard TD, week 13 2009)
Jordy Nelson (Super Bowl XLV, 29 yard TD, 38 yard catch)
Greg Jennings (Super Bowl XLV, 21 yard TD, 31 yard catch)
James Jones (Super Bowl XLV, 21 yard catch)
Greg Jennings (83 yard TD, week 15 2009)
James Jones (24 yard TD, week 15 2009)
Larry Fitzgerald (Super Bowl XLIII, 64 yard TD)
Anquan Boldin (Super Bowl XLIII, 45 yard catch to the 1-yard line)
Anquan Boldin (27 yard TD, week one 2011-2012)
Torrey Smith (26 yard TD, week 9 2011)
Stevie Johnson (*40 yard TD, dropped while wide open)
AJ Green (43 yard catch, week 13 2011)
TJ Houshmandzadeh (**18 yard game-ending 4th Q comeback TD)
Santonio Holmes (45 yard TD, 2010 playoffs)
LaRod Stephens Howling (73 yard TD, week 7 2011)
Dennis Northcutt (25 yard TD, week 5 2009)
Leonard Pope (21 yard TD, week 11 2009)
Mark Clayton (52 yard catch, week 12 2009)
Todd Heap (30 yard TD, week 16, 2009)
Davone Bess (34 yard TD, week 17 2009)
Davone Bess (25 yard TD, week 7 2010)
Rob Gronkowski (25 yard TD, week 10 2010)

* not a catch but included since the Steelers defense was beaten and had no bearing on the drop.

** not 20+ yards, but included regardless, as the play was backbreaking.

It's silly that everyone is freaking out about the NFL replacement refs. After all, it's not like games were called perfectly before 2012.

Does anyone remember the San Francisco pass interference controversy? The Steelers Thanksgiving day coin toss? The Troy Polamalu phantom fumble? The Calvin Johnson touchdown? The Ed Hochuli apology?

These were all bad calls made by the normal referees, not mistakes by their replacements... and we survived.

Moreover, the NFL has a very good instant replay system in place (unlike baseball) to correct the important calls.

For example, every touchdown is reviewed; this began in 2011. Plus, every controversial play is automatically reviewed after the 2-minute warning in each half.

The point is moot.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can't help but notice the shrinking window to win with Romo, Ware http://t.co/nlRPtyc9 #nflpreview -- AP_NFL (@AP_NFL)

There never was a window

Again, Mike Wallace is not a holdout and cannot be fined by the Steelers for missing camp. He is an unsigned player. -- Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt)

RT @Ken Laird Reading back old newspaper write-ups of #Steelers 1st full-time training camp at St. Vincent College, as 40 vets showed up July 22 1967

RT @Ken Laird #Steelers QB for most of 1966, Ron Smith, retired on 1st day of camp. Both tackles quit, one to work at law firm. 1st Rd pick fired. too fat

RT @Ken Laird When #Steelers began at St. Vincent in 1967 under 2nd yr coach Bill Austin, was their 35th year without a championship.

RT @Baltimore Ravens Ray Lewis: "I just love playing the game. I love competition. That’s why I keep coming back every year, every year, every year."

RT @Ken Laird #Steelers players made $10 per day in training camp in 1967 ($70 per week)

Ravens in trouble?

the Ravens are having a bad offseason. their best defender, Suggs, will probably go on IR and their star safety is hinting at a holdout.

they still have Ngata, and Ray Rice just signed a deal, but they also lost Lee Evans. if Boldin or Torrey Smith get hurt this could get interesting.

is Dallas done?

so, Dez Bryant got arrested tonight. I can only assume that means he will be suspended by the NFL.

Dallas let Laurent Robinson go (their best WR in 2011), so who's left? Miles Austin? he had a horrible year in 2011.

losing Dez would be a serious blow to the Cowboys offense.
