Because less than two minutes remained, the call was reviewed in the booth. And everybody in the stadium plus everybody at home culd see, clear and conclusively, that Big Ben didn't get the ball across the goal line. It wasn't a touchdown, plain and simple. Yet the call stood and the Steelers had a touchdown. 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. I think it was a touchdown, the ball clearly crossed the plane. But I don't think the pass interference call should have been made, nor the "illegal block"......I still wonder how one make an illegal block when they are on defense and trying to make a tackle. Didn't see the hold, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I still am in amazement about the Seahawks two minute drills. just to add fuel to the fire, Rothlesberger admitted that he didnt make it over the goal line. :) That is just cruel :-) |
