I'm glad the Steelers won, but I think the Raves were hosed on that TD call.

 

I don't know how that was overturned....The ball didn't break the plane, but I guess it doesn't have to anymore.

Steelers find a way to win ugly games.

I watched the reply and it is so close, that I couldn't tell if he had broke the plane or not. But is did get his feet in the endzone. I wonder if it is like the getting your feet in bounds on a sideline play?

I've always thought it was like the halfcourt line in basketball....It's not where the player is, but where the ball is....

 

I agree it was extremely close, but if they ruled that he was initially short, there was no way they could get conclusive evidence that it did break the plane. If they had originally ruled him in, then I don't think they could have overturned it either.

I agree.

 

I look forward to hearing the head of NFL officals talk about this.

Page 776 of the rules digest in the NFL fact book reads: "A player with the ball in his possession scores a touchdown when the ball is on, above or over the goal line."

 

From the article on ESPN....

No, the ball is definately supposed to break the plane. It can be directly over top the plane, but the ball in this case wasn't close to the plane.

Agreed

I would have to disagree, I think it was close.

I would have to disagree, I think it was close.

 

With slow motion, hi-def replay, I think it was obvious that the ball didn't break the plane.

Well I wasn't watching it a hi-def tv, but it still looked very close.

I thought it was extremely close as well...:thumb:

Maybe it did, maybe it didn't... It was however, close... :lol:

And that's exactly why I think they screwed up. No way they could tell one way or the other, so you have to stick with the call made on the field...
