You won the battle but the good guys will win the war.
You must love NBC's Sunday Night Football's halftime "green" show for enviromental awareness. Kieth Olberman must be holding them hostage or something. I say separation of Sports and Politics, whadya say?
Sorry about your Ravens today, Flare....well, actually, I am not.....
Guys I personally was unaware that this is actually the "7th" tie breaker in sequential order....how can anyone in this thread make that an argument? They had to review for the 7th tiebreaker...OMFG...I just spit up my water...
regardless of whether it's the 7th, 8th, or even further down the line, you do now know the final score has a possible affect on who goes to the playoffs.....
Guess that makes your previous statement moot....it does make a difference.....
and yes Greek---keep showing that statement----cause it proves it does, and can make a difference....

I say you had 8 years of center stage and that stage is lying at the bottom of the ocean....It's a new world order. Time to let us have the stage.
Let's not turn this into a political debate thread.....We'll be hung in effigy....
well well mr greek....another brilliant statement from you....
so it was conclusive to the man in the booth... Guess that makes it ok
it just so happens, thats his job, and he has final say so.....damn right that makes it ok.....
Where in the world did you come up with statement.....must've not thought b4 you typed that one....
Damn right it's ok....he determines conclusive, and that's it....
Who are we to question him......maybe you can make the calls for em via internet next time, as you seem to have a handle on it, and you can stop the fixing lmao at that one
who is this man in the booth kapt ?
Can we hear a statement from him about his decision because this since it is such a hot topic ? Or will the nfl not allow that ?
Hmmmmmm
who are we to question him ??
Fans, people that spend money on tix and merchandice , etc
easy to win an arguement when you can say "well the man in the booth made the call and thats his job "
maybe that man in the booth was on the phone with vegas waiting to be told what to do
I watched that tape 5 times and I do not see how you can say that there is conclusive evidence to overturn that call ... and i had SD
kaz I agree with you 100% ... You are right on
PAPI----I watched it several times also....I see the ball somewhere slightly above the 25 from LT, and then slightly above the 26 for receiver.....Tough angle but I see it as forward.......
Besides....what troubles me, is there has to be CONCLUSIVE evidence to overturn a ruling on the field.....Field Ref said TD, man in the booth saw CONCLUSIVE evidence in his eyes to overturn the field call....
Maybe he had a better view or angle than we have....
Anyways, it's his decision to make, it's his that's counts, and that's all I see to it......
It's in the eyes of the beholder.......But to start shouting FIX is ridiculous IMO...It's simply the way he saw it

Keep looking at the world in rose colored glasses kapt
I didn't bet the game. I'm not a fan of either team. I stopped watching the game prior to Pitt kicking the game winning FG. I heard about the strange ending when Griffey text me about a bad loss. Then he text me he won his bet. When I arrived back home I rewound my TIVO. Initially, I had no idea about the controversy. When watching the replay in slo-mo and freezing the play IMO it was conclusive evidence. LT releases the ball from his left hand on the 26. #89 clearly caught the ball on the 27. To me it's an obvious illegal forward pass. This was my feeling long before this thread got out of control. Members often scream fix after tough loses. The thought of the game being fixed because it was overturned never entered my mind till I read these threads.
The NFL admitted that Troy Polamalu's fumble return for a touchdown in the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Chargers should have counted.
This really affected betting because the spread was 3 with the Steelers favored and San Diego would have lost by seven had the touchdown stood. Instead, Pittsburgh won 11-10 due to an officiating mistake. We're guessing that most bets were on the Steelers. The score can no longer be changed.
