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. :)

If he indeed said that he is really an ahole.
