On the other hand, the replay did not show CONCLUSIVELY that the ball didn't break the plane. Thus, the call stood.
Ah yes - the Roethlisberger interception - where he himself went to tackle to seahawk who caught it, and was blatantly pushed in the back so he could not complete the tackle. Most people call it a 'clip', but it was never called. Watch the replays.
There were botched calls on BOTH teams, but it seems the Seahawk fans only look at the ones against their team to complain about losing.
The referee's blew calls, yes. But it was against both - get over it and quit bellyaching - the final score showed who won.... jeez....
There was no single frame in the replay that showed any part of the ball breaking the goal-line, so I think there was room for the ref to overturn the call had he been so inclined; but the video did leave open the possibility that somehow, maybe between frames, a couple millimeters of the ball COULD have broken the plane. Good stuff.
