Sorry, from the looks of this new pic, Roethlisberger didn't cross the goal line.

The game IS OVER. HOw many times can you review the same pictures and from how many angles?

I thought you disbelievers were saying all along that Ben had the ball in his left hand. (And, btw,

;-)

By the way, the only real way anyone can actually ascertain whether the ball made it to the goal line is by seeing the video and stopping it frame by frame. No one knows whether these stills were taken before or after his furthest progress.

I had the chance to meet with some guys in the organization at one of their homes. They have some very excellent film of the entire game.

A fraction of a second before your still picture on the left, Ben was even further forward and higher in the air. It was clearly a TD then.

But, for the life of me, I cannot understand how seemingly relatively intelligent people are so bent out of shape on this. It was only third down anyhow. We could have scored twice.

The Steelers had a less-than-spectacular performance and still beat Seattle. But Seattle played very tough defense (at times I swear it looked like they had 13 men on the field), so that less-than-spectacular performance by the Steelers was because Seattle is very good.

Let me add, if you're into boxing at all like I am to an extent, you know that it's all about styles. Certain fighters who take part in a boxing match just meet in the ring, and the result is one ugly night of boxing. Others get together in the ring, and because of their styles, the match is loaded with great action. That's just the way it is. The same thing, imo, happened on Sunday. These two teams' game plans (personalities and styles) just matched up to create a real ugly affair (like Ellen Ratner on FoxNews Sundays). I remember the Pittsburgh/Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl long ago as about as ugly as this one. Sometimes that just happens.

Here’s a pretty good article with a decent perspective for you from our local paper.
