LOL. Sometimes I swear the NFL is going the way of wrestling. Some of these calls appear to be bought and paid for, NE is especially notorious. Pay to play- Our new USSA slogan.

His hand was on the football. his hand is connected to his arm. his arm was moving foward, the ball came out forward.
That is called an incomplete pass.
To: TheBigB
Even My Patriots had a worse case for a non fumble against Oakland with the ridiculous "tuck rule" that allowed Tom Brady to go on and steal a Playoff victory in 2001, than what Warner got last evening.
On the other hand, the Patriots were owed by the NFL for that BS call in Oakland's favor back in the 1970s.

What part of clearly an incomplete pass dont you and Petronski understand?For me, the part I don't understand the psychic break from reality afflicting one who claims an incomplete pass on a thread about the league clarifying that it was a fumble.

“It was a fumble”
I saw it several times from several angles. It was not a fumble. I doubt it would have made any difference. I felt the officiating was one sided. When have you ever seen three personal fouls on one drive? One was legit, one was questionable, and one was absolute Bull Sh!t.
It was a great game. I felt that AZ controlled 3 quarters. The INT at the end of the 1st half for a touchdown was the play of the game and what ultimately made the difference.

It was not a fumble.Nope. The ball got knocked loose and was rolling in his hand before it started forward. He has to have total control.

We confirmed it was a fumble, said Pereira. The replay assistant in the replay booth saw it was clearly a fumble. The ball got knocked loose and was rolling in his hand before it started forward. He has to have total control.

“the league” has made mistakes in the past. Call Al Davis and ask him about this concept. “the league” may have cost the Oakland Raiders a Super Bowl ring in 2001.
“the league” is not always. and “the league” does not own the sport of football.
To: TheBigB
Mike Pereira’s job is to defend the integrity of the league and the officiating above and beyond all other things. The NFL is a business that charges top dollar for its product. He has to perpetuate the myth that it is above reproach. However, season after season, game after game, Super Bowl after Super Bowl we are faced with this (or some previous) dunce trying to pull a Jedi mindtrick on us. With the advent of DVRs and TIVO we can all do slow motion, freeze frame, and multiple angle views of the event. I would have a lot more respect for him if he simply said we blew it or the fix was in. I don't like having my intelligence insulted.
To: Petronski
What else is there in the article that you want people to read? I read it and I’m not seeing anything that isn’t in the posted portion.

This will always be a matter of opinion, P. No one is saying the league didn’t come to this conclusion, but man pay attention, the ohio conservative is disagreeing with the league’s findings.

How quaint.

His arm did not move forward until the ball was being stripped. And even then it was only his elbow. The Steeler had so much weight on it Warner almost broke his arm. End of discussion.

You didn't reread the article, did you?What part of disagreeing with the article do you not understand? Or are we all required to nod our heads at the wisdom of the league officials, with no dissent allowed?
