Big Bens TD

[redskins5044]

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,

[Skins fan 44]

Another chicken $hip call.

[dmek25]

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

[skinsfanthru&thru]

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.

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

[BigSKINBauer]

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]

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

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.

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]

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.

[firstdown]

I think the ball just did cross the line than the Seahawk player knocked his arm back and he may have even fumbled the ball but that would have been after it crossed th plan.

you think that crew did a good job ? holy crap you must have been watching a different game.

the offensive pass interferrence
big bens td
the holding on seattles left tackle when the hawks completed a pass to the 2 yardline
the cut block they called on hasselback
the timeout they awarded pitt. after the playclock had already hit 0

thats the main ones i can think of i'm sure there are plenty more. notice how all those i mention favor the steelers. this game was determined before it started.
