I never wanna hear that this shit isnt fixed ever again !!!!

The whistle not blowing has nothing to do with it...they had to kick the xtra point and while cleaing the field to do so, the Ref got buzzed from the box. Plays in the last 2 mins get revied by the replay official. The Ref doesn't go to the sideline on his own to review the play...he gets buzzed from above. Getting the field cleared gave the booth more time to review.... Becaus ethe spread is involved, because they reviewed it, it is fixed and if they didn't review it all of the SD bettors, if it was forward, would scream the same thing....

If they let it stand, SD backers woul dbe crying the same thing if in fact is was a forward lateral. I didn't look closely but there is more than 1 person on this board that thought it went forward so it was close enough to review....

why do you have to kick a PAT with a win SU with no time left? the game was over. why review the play that is my whole arguement. you ppl are making up weak ass excuses

all plays under 2 minutes gets review by booth college and pro

because that was a rule long time ago game ends on td u haveto try the extra point or two point conversion

You are wrong it does matter. At season end, tie breakers potentially come into play. They have to get the call right.

Thank you..

Post Season tie breakers when 2 or 3 teams are involved:

9. Best net points in common games
10. Best net points in all games
11. Best net touchdowns in all games

Dimer, THAT IS THE RULE- you kick the extra point regardless of the score. THAT IS THE RULE! The ref was clearing the field to do so!!!

If you want to debate, learn the rules!!!

When the official came back from the booth he raised his hands and called it a touchdown ( again ... After talking to the booth upstairs )

what happened between then and the end of the game

why was the play reviewable if a flag wasnt thrown ????

The timing of the call has nothing to do with it. If it happened at the end of the first half or end of game. You have to get the call right regardless of the score. To suggest letting the wrong call stand simply because it didn't matter is ridiculous. The NFL needs to get each and every call correct. Unfortunately, they don't.

Because the replay booth reviews plays in the last 2 mins...my thnking is that while the ref was clearing the field for the Xtra point (they have to kick it), the replay booth buzzed the ref. He made the call that it was a forward lateral and incorrectly said the penalty was declined...you cannot decline an illegal forward pass. Then he made the right call, IF it was a forward lateral.

Kudos to the NFL for taking the time to get it right.

If Pitt was favored by 10 .... and that exact play happens with that exact score , the TD counts - PERIOD !!!!

No review , no discussion its a TD

IF THE SPREAD WASNT AFFECTED WHY WOULD THEY EVEN GIVE AS SHIT - GAME WAS OVER !!!!!

you're dead wrong here.....I don't think you know the rules, or potential outcome of who plays in the playoffs........this score could indeed become a tiebreaker....

The refs called it right, and by the rules, and by their jobs, as replays clearly show....

Now I know, the entire NFL, and the REFS, and the guys in the BOOTH, and all the replays and all the rules are wrong, and you're RIGHT cause you say it's FIXED....

There you go again with the old famous "GAMES ARE FIXED" role again....

go back look at the replay, go read the rules, and prove to yourself that you're wrong, course you'd never admit it....

hahaha now i agree with you on that greek thay=t was very wierd in what the official did


the right call was illiegal pass which made u awinner

and thanks to 49 taclking end save u another td

gambleing gods were on your side this game

[mooshroma]

A penalty does not have to be called to review a play. Look at an incomplete pass that is reversed or a receiver with one or two feet in bounds.

is that only a rule in the nfl ? Cause i have seen them not kick the extra point in college when the kids rush the field


this shit today was exactly like when they brought scottie pippen out from the locker room 5 minutes after the all star game had ended to shoot free throws and put the game over the total

free throws were never televised -- 5 minutes after the game was over

give me a break !!!!

You are probably right if that were the scenario.

Since the refs knew this WAS going to affect the spread W/L, they decide this call is more important to get right. Someone could get whacked over this.

They review certain calls all the time regardless if there's a flag or not. Let's use Jacks example from last weeks game except reverse. Let's say Eli did go over the line of scrimmage and there was no penalty. Philly can challenge the call.

There was no penalty called in the Super Bowl when the Patriots challenged too many men on the field vs. the Giants.

Guys if you're going to argue at least have an understanding of the rules.
