    I thought the game was in the bag, so I left my gf's apartment to get home... I'm kicking myself for missing that 4th quarter!

    I'd also like to point out that it was an Ohio State Buckeye that won the game ;) And here I thought the Buckeyes don't produce the talent and speed necessary for the big leagues!

    I agree.
  • What I'm trying to figure out is, why was that final play not reviewed?

    I mean that was easily the worst called Super Bowl ever so I shouldn't be surprised, but the play earlier in the game was similar and ended up overturned.

    To not even review it seems like a joke to me and it's clear that the league has issued a gag order on it.

    While having the Steelers win gave me the office pool of $80.....I wish the Cardinals had won.


    And yeah, its very amusing that there has been no talk of that last play that was ruled a fumble and not even reviewed.

    Agree. To not even review it was a crime.

    I wanted to see a jump ball to Fitzgerald.

    If you review it, you'd have the same result. Another Steeler Victory. Sorry SF and Dallas fans ;)

    And that's fine. But don't review every other semi-questionable play throughout the playoffs and then just stop. It contradicts everything they claim it stands for. Al and John were going on about it assuming it would be reviewed and then nothing but Pittsburgh taking a knee. Then they start showing the Holmes TD over and over and never mentioned the Warner play again.

    I have no problem with Pittsburgh winning, but something's up with that.

    totally agree
  • smithnicsmithnic Posts: 1,563
    That last play definitely should have been reviewed. Keep in mind that there was a personal foul on the play too, so if overturned, the Cards have the ball with five seconds left at the 30. Crazy they didn't review that.

    I had no horse in this race ... so I don't care ... but ... I just don't like seeing a game where the refs were overly involved at some points, but, then, put the whistles/review away for the afore mentioned Warner "fumble" ... or, why not call Santonio Holmes for using the ball as a prop after his touchdown? They've been claling that lame ass penalty all year for the weakest crap ... then Holmes uses the ball as a ketchup bottle and gives it a few shakes, no penalty. Pitt kicking off from the 15 might have made a big difference at the end.

    I just assume get rid of that penalty all together, perhaps next year, they do ... but, the lack of consistancy is a little frustrating.

    Cards fans can't blame the lost game on the refs however ... that intercpetion @ the end of the half was a 10 - 14 point swing ... why they didn't try the Fitzgerald jump ball then, I have NO idea.

    The craziest stat I just saw : The Steelers are 142-1-1 all time when leading by at least 11 points.

    That's nuts. I'm just glad it's not 141-2-1 :mrgreen:

  • inmytreeinmytree Posts: 4,741
    great game. Being a life long Steelers fan, It was a good night... :D

    As for the last play: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/28971640/

    According to NFL VP of Officiating Mike Pereira, the replay official upstairs did see the play clearly.

    “We confirmed it was a fumble,” said Pereira. “The replay assistant in the replay booth saw it was clearly a fumble. The ball got knocked loose and was rolling in his hand before it started forward. He has to have total control.”

    Complete agreement. I didn't care who won, just wanted a great game. And we got a great game. But the officiating was ridiculous. That roughing the passer call on AZ was bullshit. So was the non-call on Homes. If TO had tried that it would have been 15 yards. And if you want to be strict about it, shouldn't Harrison have been ejected after repeatedly punching that Cardinal in the head and then knocking him down when the play was over? Way too many holding calls. And to not even review that final play. Yes, it may have held up and the not made a difference, but you at least have to look!

    Seems to me that this has been the worst year as far as officials go. They are so inconsistent. They affect the outcome of games when they shouldn't.

    Great game though. Congrats to the Steelers. Class organization all the way who certainly deserved it. I kind of feel bad for Warner though.

    The scary thing is I know off the top of my head the one loss and the one tie. They blew a 13 point lead to the Bungles in '01 in the next to last game of the season and lost in OT and the next year tied the Falcons after Vick overcame a 17 point lead in the 4th.

    So, what about all the talk of this being the best SB ever? I think last year would have an argument. As would Rams/Titans.


    Also I think it is funny that everyone talked about the Steeler defense. Sure, they got a defensive score. But otherwise the Cardinals shredded that defense. It came down to the mediocre Steeler offense beating the mediocre Cardianl defense.

    Of course the Cowboys where sitting at home watching.

    And now the Steelers are America's Team!

    Loosers always snivel about the calls, but winners just win not matter how the officiating goes.

    Clearly a fumble on the last play and they don't have to annouce they are looking it over. In this instance they had plenty of time before the kneel down to make sure they got it right.

    And if some douche from England doesn't want to see 99 threads on the game then why are they here reading this one and even making a post. So many of you are post whores you can't even make an intelligent comment 10% of the time.
