What game were you watching? That ball was 2 inches over the line. That was the only correct call the refs made.

Hmmmm...and what xray vision do you possess?
Roethlisburger was carrying the ball about his stomach level. He seemed to bring it up to his sternum as he was going down. BUT the goal line was at Ben's shoulder level.
AND the Seattle defender's shoulder pads/helmet did hit Ben and seemed to block and push back the ball.
Yes it was called a touchdown on the field and one needs conclusive evidence to the contrary to reverse this call. There was not any conclusive evidence to the contrary....hence touchdown. BUT there was not any conclusive evidence that the ball crossed, in any way, the plane of the goal line.
Did you see though Ben's body/equipment. For the ball was certainly hid from view until Ben brought it up above his shoulders.
OBTW... I was rooting for Pittsburgh.
