Is Pittsburg choking?

It's aint over 'til it's over! And....it's about over! :laugh:
 
Is it just me or did the officials blow the end of the game by not reviewing that fumble/pass?!?

Nevertheless, great game.

They did but it was so clear they didn't need much time ;)

They've shown it a dozen times now and it wasn't even close to being a pass.
 
We'll never know if they blew the game or not. Maybe Warner throws a bomb to Fitzgerald and wins the game and maybe he doesn't. That was definitely a forward pass attempt. Good game anyways

How could they make that decision in 30 seconds when all of the other reviews were taking way more than the allotted time and they weren't game deciding!

I disagree, I think it was very close. At first it looked like he lost control but then his arm came forward, his hand was very near if not on the ball, and the ball obviously went forward. I was in a room of people who could give two shits who won and we were all dumbfounded when they didn't take time to review it. The Steelers still would of won but damn, the NFL owes us a fair game to the final second.

Dude, if it was even close the people on TV would be scrutinizing and talking about it endlessly, it was very clear that the ball came out while his hand was going back.
 
I'd say it was a fumble too if my team just won the Superbowl :whistling:
 
Kudos to both teams. I aged 20 years in the last 2:30 of the game. Wow!

I really don't roll that way, if I thought it was a pass I would call it that way. I have seen it a dozen times and don't see anything close......and I assume that's what the refs saw too.

I find it hard to believe that people would actually think that the refs would ignore a call like that in order to influence the outcome. And if I were to believe that they would "influence" things it would have been in favor of Az. as they were the Cinderella story and would have been a poster child for the NFL's upcoming tumultuous future.
 
In my opinion, that was an extremely poorly officiated game. Calls were worse in the first half than the second, but the fact that the last play wasnt reviewed was inexcusable. I wasn't pulling for either of these teams, but was hoping for a good game...pretty disappointing that the refs would play such a role in this one.
 
Last call should have been reveiwed bottom line. How does a football travel 15 yards FOWARD without being thrown? He obviously meant to throw the ball and he was able to get it off in time. Again, in all likelihood the Steelers still would have won but we still deserve a fairly called game until the fat lady sings. I'm still waiting to hear her....

Ask Seahawk fans what they think! :laugh:

The Steelers do seem to get more then their share of calls to go their way!

Good game, I was a fan of neither, just needed to Card's to cover the spread and they did, so I am a happy camper!! :cool:
 
Steelers Won end of story. It seems to me, whenever the Steelers win, everyone finds away to make excuses to why the Steelers won. Bottom line, using refs as an excuse of why the Cards lost is just the reason why the Steeler has 6 of these championships, because there is no excuse. By god also, I do not know what game you guys were watching, but even with the last fumble, was overturned as a incomplete there was one second on the clock. Now, yes one second is a big difference but I am not going to put all the reason why the Steelers won because of that one play. (To me, it looked like it was a fumble. The ball was coming out before it was going forward. When you clock the ball back, that is not a forward through, if you look closely Farrior hit Warner in the arm which then his arm came forward WITHOUT the control of the ball. That right there is the key you are all missing. Must have his arm go forward with the ball in his control.) Bottle line, no matter what anyone says, The Pittsburgh Steelers has 6 of these things we call Vince Lombardi Trophy.
