Human beings, being earthbound, must go up to go down. In the NFL a "dive" really is a leap. It is not a "dive" as you find in competetive diving. I will try to avoid using such arcane technical football terms since it confuses you so much.
The apex of the leap (not shown) was where the ball broke the plane. If it broke it again (hard to say from this pic but it still looks like it) it doesn't matter -- it is merely icing on the cake.
There is frequently a delay between a play and the call. That lag is called "human beings officiating the game."
Now, can you quote me the replay rule? Anyone?
You assume WAY too much, sir.
I cannot quote the replay rule verbatim, but I agree that there was not enough evidence to reverse the call made on the field. I still disagree with the call, but the process worked as it was intended.
You should take care to use words more accurately, and calling "dive" a football term meaning "leap" is inaccurate. In football parlance, a dive is a running play where the ball is handed to a running back and the running back runs through a hole between the tackles.
It can be a lot of fun to debate these nonserious issues with passion, but I grate whenever one side starts denigrating the other because they disagree. In my previous post I used the term "idiots". Please accept my apologies for that - it was uncalled for.
However, I stand behind my sarcastic response concerning your choice of terms! ;-P
BTW - I am not a Seahawks fan. I'm a Jets fan (don't ask me why) who thought the officiating stunk in the Super Bowl. However, the fact remains that the Steelers ended up with a win. I just wish the game had been better officiated - so that there wasn't such a sour taste in my mouth regarding the state of the game in the NFL.
Have a good day.
