November 17, 200817 yr The one call a forward pass was the first made by LT, not the one that was fumbled. Yeah, I still don't see it:confused:
November 17, 200817 yr Yeah, I still don't see it:confused: I agree. Like I said, it doesn't look like conclusive evidence to me.
November 17, 200817 yr It had to be a fix cause the refs knew it was going to be 11-10 and that they would mess up the betting world by throwing a flag. Let's be real. One of the refs obviously saw a forward pass and flagged it. The call didn't affect the outcome at all so what should it matter?
November 17, 200817 yr They just discussed it again on NBC and I was thinking the same thing: does the play stop just because it's an illegal forward pass?
November 17, 200817 yr Collinsworth just said that even if it was illegal, it doesn't stop the play, and it should have been a Pitt TD.

Point differential is a tiebreaker for the playoffs.
November 17, 200817 yr Either way I'm sure the NFL will have something to say tomorrow. Probably defending the call.
November 17, 200817 yr Either way I'm sure the NFL will have something to say tomorrow. Probably defending the call. Or even better, the "we blew the call...sorry." I'm sure teams appreciate that phone call when it DOES cost them the game.
November 17, 200817 yr Either way I'm sure the NFL will have something to say tomorrow. Probably defending the call. I doubt it. When they have these sort of issues, they sweep them under the carpet. Also you will hear nothing more in the media.
November 17, 200817 yr I am guessing this call did affect the betting aspect?? The spread was like 3.5-4.5 for the Steelers. If you bet on the Steelers, you needed that TD to win.
November 17, 200817 yr The officials have already admitted their mistake.... http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/gamecenter/recap/NFL_20081116_SD@PIT After the game, referee Scott Green said the officials realized afterward the touchdown should have counted, though it wouldn't have affected the result. Um, which result?
