Uh, someone should tell this guy, it isn't getting "the ball across the
goal line". It's breaking "the plane" of the goal line. The difference
is close to two feet (the width of the painted line, plus the length of
the ball). FWIW, it looked like a touchdown to me.


Seeing that you focused on this one play, I guess you think all the other
lousy officiating was OK?

Let me guess...........you are a Steelers part time fan (whenever they make
it to the Superbowl, and when not you jump on the bandwagon of whatever team
won).........right? ;-)

I could really care less who won and I did see plenty of bad officiating,
mainly hurting the SeaHawks.

Pittsburgh did not play anywhere close to championship caliber. I don't
think even a true Steelers fan could be proud of that win.
