This piece may come off as me merely ranting on a personal annoyance.
And for that I apologize.
But, as a Pittsburgh Steelers fan – and even a football fan in general – nothing grinds my gears like a team throwing a screen pass or wide receiver bubble on third down when there is over five yards to go.
I get exceptionally angry when it is third down with eight or more yards to go.
In many cases, it seems like the offense is playing for a few extra yards of field position for the punter rather than being aggressive and going for the first down.
