From what I saw about half the ball was over the plane before he was down. Some of the Seattle fans may be drinking too much fancy coffee.

Boy, you musta had Super High-Def TV at your place. Everyone at our place watching on High-Def all agreed that the QBs arm all but obscured the view of the ball, and we ALL also agreed that his elbow was over, but the ball was in his gut, about 6-12 inches BEHIND the elbow.

To be fair, though, the concensus was that whatever they called on the field would ultimately stand, because there seemed no replay angle that was definitive one way or the other.

I think the TD call was actually a "two wrongs DO make a right" type of situation. The referee came in to mark the ball down, as can be clearly seen when he runs in with his right arm pointing down. Then he saw the ball over the plane (shoved there by Roth after he was down) and called TD. On the replay, I was pretty sure Roth got about 1/16 of the ball over the imaginary plane before being shoved back. What the ref called a TD wasn't a TD, but Roth scored on the play earlier and the ref didn't notice.

One point also, the game was very sloppy. Neither side played well, and sloppy games are tougher to officiate. I just thought the officiating was even worse than the game play.
