Had that happened in this case, the linesman would have run along the goal line signaling touchdown. He did not. He did not signal a touchdown until after Roethlisberger was on the ground, when he pulled the ball from underneath him and pushed it over the goal line.

Many is the time line refs have a delayed reaction on making a call -- they are human. The delay means nothing.

I have no dog in this fight. But that was no touchdown.

The replay says otherwise. We have had some folks with huge TVs and TIVOs who have confirmed it broke the plane when he was in the air. That is the rule.

Fair enough. I did not see what the big-screen folks evidently did, though.

I am 100% for the Steelers, but we've TIVO'd that play 20 times, and I've got a 42 inch Plasma...so there is no mistake that Ben shoved the ball over the line..sad to say.

I don't know much about the "broke the plane when he was in the air" rule.

Must be so, since the REFS had to have seen what we did..right?
