Holding in the end zone was obvious....and the play before that the back clearly did not get the ball out of the endzone past the white line.

You can go put a ballerina dress on with Rothlesburger, if he was barely touched, a bogus roughing the passer called....if Warner was malled no call.

If Tom Brady was the QB on that last play it would have been an incomplete pass.

There was a huge disparity in penalties (over 100 yards to 50)...The 11 penalties whistled on Arizona included a preposterous roughing the passer penalty on a play that wouldn't have been uncommon in touch football...That came on a drive that saw two personal foul penalties on the Cards, one of which gave the Steelers another chance to score from the goal line.

What happened to “you can't use the ball as a prop?” Holmes sure did that with his little LeBron James impression. Using the ball as a prop is an automatic 15-yard penalty on the kickoff.

The Steelers are a dirty team as showcased by #92, who Madden politely indicated should be thrown out, to their idiot safety trying to fight the Arizona receiver and coach out of bounds. It starts with their Zero supporting owner, and the corrupt owners sons in bed with corrupt politicians running corrupt gambling ‘business’.

Pittsburgh is lucky the league has no rule that you can't have wife-beaters on your team (Holmes and Harrison)

On every call the Steelers got the benefit of doubt, Whisenhunt almost ran out of challenges just trying to correct the obvious ones....around 3rd quarter where I was everyone I was with including Steelers fans was saying the game was fixed, and the officials were paid off.

I really didn't care who won as I had no horse in the race. On the Rothlesburger TD which was over turned, I called it as he was being tackled and I was shocked they actually overturned it! The first time Warner fumbled and again another red flag. Rothlesburger I believe in the 3rd or 4th quarter clearly throws the ball away, intentional grounding; no call! I mean calling “running into the holder” was a joke! Two Steelers SBs now very questionable!

Never mind the personal fouls or blocks in the back on the interception return! I also believe Holmes never got his right foot down on the gaming winning catch. There is a photo that shows the right foot caught on the cleats of the left shoe as he is falling out of bounds. Now the videos have been taken off you-tube by the NFL.

I truly believe for the integrity of the game they needed to review Warner's incomplete pass, whether or not they over turned in the end!

Please read my last post. I outlined numerous calls and non-calls that did not go the Steelers' way. Your statement is preposterous.

Maybe you can complain about a call here or there, but to say every call went the Steelers way is ignorant.
