Big Bens TD

redskins5044 · 02-05-2006, 09:26 PM

the call just like the bucs game during the reg season. i dont think he got in the endzone. but ref has no visual evidence to over turn,

Another chicken $hip call.

dmek25 · 02-05-2006, 11:27 PM

not enough to over turn but i dont think he was in.guess my opinion doesnt count

all the ball has to do is cross a milimeter of the white chalk and it looked as if it did to myself and everyone else who was watching with me, even someone who actually cared about the outcome between the 2 teams and wanted the seahawks to win. the tb game actually had an angle that completely showed alstotts elbow down before crossing the plane whereas the main replay tonight from the goal line clearly showed the arm holding the ball cross a bit of the goalline and according to the rules that's all there needs to be so I don't think there's any real comparision between the 2.

you guys are crazy. allstott had his back to the camera, making it hard to tell if he scored. the ben td was so freakin obviouse that it makes the game looked rigged. the ball never broke the goal line, thats why the ref never singled td until after he ran up and saw that ben had stretched the ball out (from under his stomach after he was down)

and I can't believe anyone has mentioned something about the freakish way Randle El landed on his head on that one punt return. I couldn't believe he was playing again only 3-4 minutes after that happened.

Good eye! That's how I saw it in a room full of Haux homers!

I hope the NFL FO begins taking applications for Full Time Refs, and does away the the awful Replay rules! Go back to calling it on the field like BB!

offiss · 02-07-2006, 04:30 PM

I felt he was in, the problem I had is the line judge came running in and was pointing to spot the ball, then when he closed in on the play he changed his mind and called TD, now the question I have is this, if he thought it wasen't a TD from far away how does he come to the conclusion that it was when he closed in on the play when Big Ben was a foot away from the goal line? I believe they accidently got that call right.

The funny thing is I know one of the line judges in that game, I used to play semi pro baseball, and he used to umpire a lot of our games, I used to catch and he was alway's behind the plate so we got to know each other over the coarse of a couple years, and he is actually one of the better refs and a honest guy. one of my buddies works out with him these day's, I am trying to get him to pry in on what the NFL tells them as far as how to go about the officiating before a game, or a season for that matter, I doubt I will get a confesion about a fix though, but I am working on some ivestigative reporting.

wolfeskins · 02-06-2006, 12:05 AM

no way was that a td. refs blew that call and a bunch more. and every call seemed to favor pitt. hhhhmmmmmmmmmm.

BigSKINBauer · 02-06-2006, 12:06 AM

yeah it stayed with it because it is what was called on the field. Every call went the steelers way and i never believed refs wanted things to happen until this year. That was horrible.

skinsfanthru&thru · 02-06-2006, 12:13 AM

all I gotta say is who cares. it didn't involve the skins so I could care less if the refs were caught on camera getting bjs from some of Detroits finest at the expense of the Pittsburg Steelers. not my team=don't care :headbange

now let's talk about what really counted and that is the commercials

BDBohnzie · 02-06-2006, 04:12 PM

The doubt that is casted in my mind about Big Ben's TD was how far he reached in his "2nd effort" to cross the plain. He reaches out way far...

I think he doesn't make it, I understand if people thought he did, and realize that there wasn't enough visual evidence either way.

MTK · 02-06-2006, 04:40 PM

It was a close call.

The call could have went either way on the field.

There simply wasn't conclusive evidence to overturn it. They could have went the opposite way on the field and it would have been upheld too.

I think the ball crossed the plane of the goaline. As bad as the officiating has been in the playoffs, this crew actually did a good job.
