James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned?

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from.PITTSBURGH -- There are penalties Mike Tomlin wont excuse but is willing to tolerate, like the facemask flag running back LeVeon Bell drew in Baltimore when an attempted stiff-arm went awry.Its the other kinds of penalties -- the ones borne out of a lack of concentration or execution -- that serve as nails on a chalkboard to the Pittsburgh Steelers coach.And at the moment, the sound is deafening.The Steelers (4-4) have racked up 29 penalties during the three-game losing streak they take into next weekends visit from Dallas (7-1) and nearly half of them have been pre-snap infractions like false starts and illegal formations that are easily avoidable by simply paying attention to detail.Those things are under our control and we need to eliminate yesterday, Tomlin said Tuesday. You can frame it how you want to frame it. The penalties have to stop.They didnt in Baltimore on Sunday, when a torrent of flags set the tone in an ugly 21-14 setback that knocked Pittsburgh out of first place and left the locker room and the coaching staff mystified at how things have gone so wrong, so quickly. A month ago, the Steelers were 4-1 and firmly in control of the AFC North. Now theyre in second place behind the Ravens and in the middle of their longest slump since dropping the first four games in 2013.I think theres anger about how we played because were capable of more than that, Tomlin said.Maybe, but it wouldnt take much to show improvement over the first three quarters against the Ravens when the Steelers managed all of two first downs while drawing 89 yards in penalties. Among the miscues: an illegal formation penalty that gifted Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker an extra five yards at the end of the first half and gave him enough room to drill a 59-yard field goal that put the Ravens up 10-0.Its tough to win in tthis league, Tomlin said.dddddddddddd Its increasingly more difficult when you shoot yourself in the foot. Weve been good at that in the past. We need to get back to that.Pittsburgh has been among the 10 fewest penalized teams in the NFL in three of the last four years but is on pace to draw 110 penalties in 2016, which would be the highest in Tomlins decade-long tenure. Asked if referees are calling things tighter than they have in the past, with penalties up around the league, and linebacker Arthur Moats shrugged his shoulders.A flag is a flag, he said. Maybe theyre calling stuff that they havent in the past, but that doesnt mean its not a penalty.Pittsburgh cant afford to give away yards against the Cowboys, who have ripped off seven straight wins behind rookie quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Dallas isnt turning it over and isnt beating itself with careless missteps, things the Steelers have been unable to avoid.Then again, its the presence of those correctable mistakes that has the Steelers optimistic they can go on a run like they did last season, when a 6-2 second half helped them to a second straight playoff berth.If its something youre playing your best ball and youre still getting beat, thats a major issue, guard Ramon Foster said. A lot of the issues we have in all three phases have been self-inflicted.Game notesC Maurkice Pouncey underwent a surgical procedure to fix a dislocated thumb.
