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

[LVJimmy]

it is a joke and always has been.

IMO- i dont think the game was fixed, the officiating is JUST THAT F'N BAD and this is another example.

Pretty much spot on

[KazDog]

Kaz, if I was in the booth, I would not have buzzed down to have it replayed. Do I think it was conclusive, no. If you asked me to make a decsion if it went forward or backward, one way or the other, I would say forward.

But just because I think it wasn't conclusive enough to overturn, doesn't mean I can't understand why the official would think otherwise.

I think the argument that the TD should stand because the game was over is as lame as the argument that they replayed it for tiebreaker implications. I firmly believe they replayed it because it was close enough to do so and the ref thought it went forward so they overturned it. They applied the rule book the way it is supposed to be interpreted...from what little I know about it.

If the ref thought it was a forward pass on the field, which I'm sure he KNOWS the rules, that the ball can't be advanced, then why did he call it a touchdown, not once but TWICE????

It is really bad regardless. These guys have the power and control to change the momentum and outcome of a game very easily by a couple calls.

.cause he gets away with.....

gets away with what kapt??? I mentioned it to him and he stopped ... I told him it was uncalled for and asked him to stop and he did ...

i think he realizes that his post was out of line ... Much like your comment to me was ...

[GOLDENGREEK]

i'll say this- if the nfl is soooooooooo worried about getting the call right for tie-breaker purposes (LOFL), why don't they fix it since they've already admitted its the wrong call.

BINGO !!!!!!!!!


WHY ISNT PITT GOING TO GET THEIR SEVEN POINTS

YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THAT ALL IMPORTANT 7 TH TIEBREAKER



( ALTHOUGH FOR MY SAKE I HOPE THEY DONT )

[GOLDENGREEK]

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...

and as molta just pointed out

if that was the case why dosent pitt get their td now ??!!!

[KazDog]

I really hate to do this.................but, I agree with you Kaz

You have to....Because WE WON on Nov 4!!!!

Darealdeal

whats your agenda here kapt..? are you now doing pr for the NFL? Costas just said it and they must have gotten an explanation from the nfl, but he also said theyre not going to change the score ....how ignorant would it be to say it was the right call still....and what review shows a forward pass? tomlinson even had his hand behind him

why do I have to have an agenda for stating my opinion, and supporting the NFL REFS when I see they got one right.....you'd rather just holler FIX at every controversial call....then I ask you....WHATS YOUR AGENDA....

to support the FIX Theorists Theme.....

BoB Cosats was on the field....He's a reporter and will embelish anything to make a story.....

It's simple....My view of the replay, shows forward pass by about a yard....Review official saw it the same way...by rule, no advancement of ilegal forward pass/lateral....

Cut and dry.....score affects playoff positions, they are compelled to get it right....

So If I agree with the call, I have an agenda.....BS....what's yours...If you saw it differently, that's life, but I didn't question your agenda...

By the way, what is your Agenda here, by calling me out by questioning mine....

[GOLDENGREEK]

Kapt and a few others saw conclusive evidence

THE MAN IN THE BOOTH.... DID ALSO


I HEAR ITS THE SAME GUY WHO IS THE BANKER IN DEAL OR NO DEAL

[weazel079]

You know what is really going to piss some people off is when the Broncos beat out the Chargers by 1 game in the AFC West.

[Three Jack]

KAZ

Like Dimer said, too close on the field to call. Ref buzzed from the booth to review the call, reviews the call, feels differently. He then makes the overturn AND gives them the TD, until another ref tells him that Pitt cannot decline the penalty.

I see Wayne;s post where the official says it should have been a TD...I will be interested to hear why he feels that way. I am sure this will be talked about for a couple of days.

KAZ

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?

LATE BREAKING SCOOP - Jim Harbaugh and the refs had BIG dollars on SD - they wanted to double up from last night's USC game!

That was bullshit and I had major dollars on SD. I didn't believe it was forward; until I went to the link posted and started go through the video frame by frame. I now believe it left LTs hand at the 25.5 and was caught at the 26.5 - it was forward. Dang if I believed it before pause.

However, all good arguments on whether to review or not to review. Lost last year when they reviewed the Browns field goal vs the ravens on the last play - they brought them back on the field but that was the outcome.

If it wasnt for clearing the field and for the PAT - it would have counted. If you look REAL CLOSE at the end you can even see Pete Carroll on the PITT sideline trying to call timeout before the PAT to get it reviewed!!!!!!!!!

[10DimeBry]

3jack,

my point being too close to call why go review it with no time left when the outcome is decided?? only reason is ATS. dont give me tie breaker BS that has no merrit what so ever.

costas and the rest of the reporters are pretty much not allowed to talk negatively about the nfl...costas however, has been in the game too long and i dont think it would affect him to make controversial comments about the nfl....the nfl agreed it was the wrong call now .....are you going to keep saying it was the right call? what do you see that nobody else does and why are you so sure its still correct after knowing what you know now? makes you look very ignorant
