No doubt...the worst officiated game I have ever watched. Not even instant replay was allowed to overturn bad calls....yeah, Rothlisberger really put that ball in the end zone all right, Not!

That's the one call I think they actually did get right. The ball ever so briefly crossed the plane. At least there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call. However, the offensive interference and "phantom" holding calls were atrocious, and you can't review those calls. And the timing of those calls couldn't have been worse.

The tip of the ball broke the plane, TD.

He put the football into the end zone...only after he was on the ground for a while.

I think there were loads of bad calls in Pittsburgh's favor all through the postseason, but Roethlisberger did get the ball past the plane of the goal line on that play. It was typical, however, that on a super-close play the call automatically went to the Steelers.
