Again, we will have to agree to disagree on the call. Obviously you don’t understand taking more time to make the right decision - you must love this stealfromus package of Obama’s! Don’t know where we are going, but we are making great time!

Look, it was an incomplete pass - you don’t fumble the ball forward 12 yards with a wobbly spiral. It does NOT happen. I know, I played QB in Jr. High, High School, the Marine Corps and College.

So, it doesn’t matter what the article says; like I stated, they wouldn’t have changed that call if it was the most obvious incomplete pass in the world!

You will persist in being wrong.

They made the right decision and did not need more time.

Look, it was an incomplete pass...

Nope. It was a fumble. You do realize, don't you, that stubbornly refusing to face reality does nothing to change reality, right?

So, it doesn’t matter what the article says...

Oh. Nevermind.

Question withdrawn.

The ball squirted out of his hand when it was back then bounced on his forarm when it was moving forward. This imparted the forward momentum that made it look like a pass, but by the time it hit his arm it was already a fumble.

Really, people need to get over it. At the beginning of the second half there was a “maybe a pass/ maybe a fumble” that the ruled in favor of the Cards, at the end there was another that got ruled in favor of the Steelers. Questionable, and down right bad, calls happen that favor both teams. Not that big a deal. If you watch the left side of the Cards o-line you can see Gandy holding at least half a dozen more times than were called on him, frequenty he’s holding the facemask (inclduing two of the times he was called for holding), those are bad non-calls that went against the Steelers, but Steelers fans have learned not to whine because bad calls happen and whining doesn’t fix them.
