Posted February 2, 200917 yr comment_11185 Well Pittsburgh one. I think that final play was definitely a pass. I was wanting Arizona to win and especially after they did so many unsportsman like plays throughout the game. The game wasn't too interesting other than the last play of the first half and then the fourth quarter. Bruce Springsteen had a lot of energy in the half time show, but his voice sounded pretty bad and he dumbly didn't even sing born in the U.S.A. I think he seriously doesn't like the U.S.A. lol
February 2, 200917 yr comment_11191 God that game was good, but ended horribly. I still disagree with the two Steelers touchdowns at the end of the first half and end of the game. I believe Harrison was down before the ball reach the goal line because you can see the far side of his arm just above the goal line as his knee touches the ground and the ball was on the inside of his arm...and they even showed a perfect angle during the game that showed his feet back off the ground BEFORE he had CONTROL. Yeah, he had the ball between his hands, but I guarantee you if he dropped it after his feet hit the ground, they would have called it incomplete because he didn't have control, even though they obviously said he did. You know? Having the ball between your hands is NOT having control of the ball... Oh well, I guess I still have the Coyotes to have a shot at bringing a championship to the valley this year
February 2, 200917 yr Author comment_11192 I thought the very last steelers touchdown was probably ruled properly, but I'm not so sure about some other plays such as the last TD of the first half, that last play being called a fumble, and various other calls. I didn't watch a replay of the fumble play, but to me it looked like he was definitely moving his hand forward to pass when I saw it in real time. Not that another play would have won the game, but it possibly could have.
February 2, 200917 yr comment_11195 I dunno, im sure by the rules it was called properly, but it still just pisses me off because that's one of the things that is VERY judgmental. The refs have to feel the player had possession. That exact call can be argued both ways all day and could still go either way because there's no concrete call on it. It's based on the ref's judgment. But yeah that last play was bull****. I forgot to mention that in my last post. NBC clearly showed multiple shots that proved that Warner's arm was CLEARLY moving forward and it was not a fumble. You can see his arm drop back and as he starts moving it forward, the ball is still in his hand, then the ball gets hit and about when his hand got to his head is when the ball actually fell out of his hand. That was just a complete bullshit call. We still had the ball with 5 seconds. That would give us one more play...plenty for a long pass to Fitz in the end zone. We'd done it before in the playoffs, we could have done it again. There were like 3 catches before the superbowl in the post season which were just balls thrown high in the air hoping Ftizgerald could jump over the defenders and get it, and he did. So yeah. And it pissed me off when that Steeler kept shoving the Cardinal to the ground as he was trying to get up near the end of the game and only got called for an unsportsmanlike. WTF!?!?! That asshole should have been ejected right away. I mean hell, it wasn't even just once, it was multiple times. He hit our guy like 10 times ON CAMERA no less. The officials just f'ed up that game completely.
March 22, 200916 yr Author comment_11331 I know it's been ages since this game was played, but I never saw anything officially mentioning that last Cardinals offensive play which I kept saying was not a fumble. Now I came across this: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl,138123 It states the same thing I did that it's ridiculous that it was not officially reviewed.
