Don't forget the pass interference call that never happened earlier in the game.
That was the second worst officiating call I've ever seen (the first was Vinnie's phantom touchdown)
The overturned INT had to be the worst job of refereeing that I have ever seen. It was obviously an INT.
The fact that they were able to watch it on replay, and somehow come up with enough mythical evidence to overturn the call is ludricrous...

Like I said in another thread, I'm not much for conspiracy theories, but damn. How else do you explain that call?

Well, if you taped the game, take a close gander at Allan Faneca prior to the snap and you'll indeed see he is moving. So it should have been a false start on Pitt and not a no call.
About the interception I'm pretty sure the rule says if you fall to the ground while you're catching the ball you have to maintain possesion either until you're off the ground or the play is dead. Polamalu clearly did not.
If you want to talk about Zebra conspiracies you should look at the Seahawks-Redskins game.
You can't be serious. If he'd stayed on the ground, it would have been ruled an INT. As he was making the move up from the ground, his knee knocked the ball out.Vigsted said:
It was one of the worst calls in NFL Playoff history.
Jeff's right, the rule says that you have to make a "football move". now, I'm not sure that Troy made one by rolling over but he clearly had possession of the ball.
did you notice that once he popped it loose, he fell on it and just laid there waiting for someone to touch him ? hell, he should have got up and ran with it, because no Colt even attempted to touch him down even though there had been no whistle blown
Peyton can't win a playoff game, even with the ref's help

I like what they did in the Rose Bowl where the booth had the option of reviewing any play that they saw fit
The NFL should implememnt this also. it cannot be left purely in the hands of an on-field ref or a sidelined coach who neither have that good of a view of the action - nor do they have the ability to slow it down to 1/32 or rewind and replay
as Section 303 Predators fans would say
"I'm blind, I'm deaf - I wanna be a Ref !"

I'm dead serious, and the rule is the way it is. There was a touchdown by Laveranues Coles (I think, or maybe Santana Moss) earlier this season that was called back because of the same rule.
Btw, notice that it's Greg Aiello who made the judgement call statement, not Mike Pereira.

You do realize that it was called an interception on the field, and overturned on replay right? And it's not just the referee who looks at the video, it's also the review officials upstairs.
Vigsted said:
Let me add to that. It's not only the officials looking at the play. It's the announcers, players, coaches, and the millions of fans around the world watching on the TV. And the consensus seems to say: It was CLEARLY a Int!

And 99% of them don't know the rules. Let me ask you, when was the last time you read the Official NFL Rulebook? And no I don't mean those abbreviated easy reading glossover rules you find on NFL.com or other sites. Even the NCAA rulebook contains technicalities that are almost impossible to understand, yet alone remember.
Vigsted said:
i believe that the ruling was made on the field
and overturned on the field
the booth doesn't have the authority to make determinations
Vigsted said:
ok, since you seem to be the expert on this matter
what exactly made this play an incomplete pass ?
Puck said:
No Dungy challenged it and it was overturned.
Puck said:
Look up a few posts and you'll see why I think it was the correct call. However, as I also point out, it is only my belief; I haven't read the Official NFL Rulebook either. I trust the officials have though.
Even Jim Mora (Sr.) said it was an interception, and he is always for the Dolts.
what kinda response is that ?Vigsted said:
THE RULING IS ALWAYS MADE ON THE FIELD
I don't want to search aimlessly trying to find your needle in this haystack
thats why I asked you. it's not a hard question. and doesn't require half of the wordage it took you to sidestep it.
forget the rulebook
forget the ruling on the field
forget Dungy challenging it
forget the overturning of the ruling
why do YOU think it was an incomplete pass / non-INT

it says that the player has to make a 'football move' while having possession. this usually means that he needs to take a step. just because he popped it out with his knee means nothing - except that he fumbled it.
I bet if Indy had recovered it, it would have been Indy ball at the spot.
and speaking of the play is dead - the whistle never blew, indicating that the ball was still in play

- Not open for further replies.
