Even if Geno is named starter again? I thought Jamon Meredith was on the Titans?

unless he was dealt right after the bills game or there's another O-linemen in the NFL with the same name I think your right and he plays on the titans

That was a strange game. Home game for the Steelers in San Diego. Feel bad for Philip Rivers. It's like watching a guy bail out his rowboat with a noodle strainer.

 

It's not a surprise given that Steelers' fans always travel well and the uncertainty of the Chargers staying in San Diego.

NFL has declined to comment. Shocking.

They are slower than you prefer but they addressed it:

NFL addresses clock issue that could have cost Steelers a win

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/nfl-had-big-clock-issue-that-could-have-cost-steelers-a-win-101315

 

The NFL issued a statement on Tuesday:

With 2:56 remaining in the fourth quarter, San Diego kicked off to Pittsburgh. The kick resulted in a touchback. By rule, the game clock does not start if the receiving team possesses the ball in the end zone and does not carry it into the field of play.

 

Because of an error by the clock operator, the game clock was incorrectly started before the Steelers’ first play from scrimmage following the touchback. That first down snap came with 2:38 left to play instead of 2:56, a difference of 18 seconds.

 

The official game time is kept on the stadium scoreboard, but it is the responsibility of the side judge to supervise the timing of the game. Had the side judge or any of the other six on-field officials noticed the timing error, they could have corrected it.

 

The game clock is not subject to instant replay review unless there is a timing issue on the last play of the first half or the last play of the game.

 

The performance of the clock operator and game officials will be reviewed per the standard procedure for reviewing every play of every game.

Additional story on that game. Big Ben spotted the tendencies of the coverage team and drew up play allowing Steelers to tie.

It is something I have always wanted to see teams do more - use players being paid by league either on IR or on inactive list be used as resources for team - players are getting paid and should be working unless doing so would hamper their recovery.
