It's a fact that the ref hesitated...in fact, it looked like he was calling it short...then as he ran closer, at the same point where Roethlisberger had moved the ball over the line while lying on the ground the ref called it a TD. Replay was inconclusive, I would agree...but what you call "tinfoil" is a fact, the ref hesitated. Yes, that happens fairly often, and personally, I think it was a bad call, but it was a very close call, not like many of the much worse calls. Tell me, how can you do a low block when you're actually making a tackle? Was Hasselbeck suppose to just do 2 hand touch or something?
That was a terrible call. As well as the Seahawks receiver taking three steps and then getting popped resulting in an "Incomplete"...it an absolute fumble if I ever saw one.
