AFC Championship Game - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 Viewer)

[T Bell]

That's a TD, methinks.OK, no more posting for me. GL all.

Not a TD. I think the spot was correct.If, however, the proper interpretation of that rule is that that's not a catch, that's BS. He took a step with the ball to lunge toward the goalline, with the ball fully in control.

 

[The Ref]

Incomplete pass men.

Heh.. maybe a few songs, here and there.

Any albums I should check out?

I'm partial to Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots myself.

I'm not really a fan. I think their most well received album is The Soft Bulletin. gllll.

Honestly I probably prefer this one myself as well.

Great call by the refs. Nice challenge by Harbaugh.

 

[ClownDogs]

Bad call imo. 3 feet HAS to be considered a football move.

 

[ceisenhower66]

OK, there is one BS call against the Steelers. That was a TD.

 

[Popinski]

Would that have been the call if the Steelers challenged?

 

[Hawk Fan]

This is the stupidest rule in the NFL. They need to change this. How can this not be a catch?

 

[Big Rocks]

Hey Simms, if CBS would show replays, then maybe you would see he dropped it.

 

[T Bell]

Bad call imo. 3 feet HAS to be considered a football move.

I think this is akin to the Tuck Rule play, where it's a rule problem rather than a call problem. He clearly had control enough to make a move for the end zone. Furthermore, he was already down by contact after having established possession when the ball came loose. It's a stupid rule.

 

[treat88]

Nance and Simms are flat awful.

 

[The Ref]

Bad call RULE imo. 3 feet HAS to be considered a football move.

Fixed.

 

[WinstonOBoogie]

The NFL has got to change that rule. What a stupid call. That's a catch.

 

[ceisenhower66]

Nance and SimmsNFL officials are flat awful.

 

[T Bell]

Nance and Simms are flat awful.

However, if you spend 5 minutes with Jim Nance you'll be a better person for it.

 

[timschochet]

Why didn't the Ravens get called for a late hit there?

 

[T Bell]

Nance and SimmsNFL officials are flat awful.

Hey, it got you a Lombardi Trophy so what are you complaining about?

 

[Hawk Fan]

So by reaching for the endzone and losing the ball instead of just going down, it is somehow incomplete? That's an idiotic rule.

 

[Pat Patriot]

Could there be worse group of athletes for that Guitar Hero commercial?

AfRod, Kobme, Phelps and whoever the other guy is (tony hawk?)

 

[duece2626]

Nance and SimmsNFL officials are flat awful.

They are awful for following the rule book?

 

[ceisenhower66]

Why didn't the Ravens get called for a late hit there?

Because, just like in the NFC game, the NFL wants its refs to do everything they can to keep these games close. Ratings.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I have no dog in this fight. That was clearly a catch. Seeing as how the refs are supposed to have incontrovertable evidence to the contrary, that overturn was completely unjustifiable. Horrible call.

 

[timschochet]

That Kobe Phelps and whoever else commercial was terrible!

 

[Steeler]

Good replay by Tomlin. Surprisingly terrible overturn by the refs.

 

[The Ref]

Ok, I'll try it. Thanks GBs!

 

[GiantsRule]

Has here ever been an instance where a coach hurt his team by challenging a play because the officials' decision found something worse that should have been caught?

I don't think Baltimore was ready to review that play if Pitt accepted 1st and inches to paydirt.

 

[FlapJacks]

I hate the Ravens more than I have ever hated any football team. Howthey keep pulling this lucky bull####, on the road, no less is beyond me.

That is one of the worst calls I have ever seen.

 

[duece2626]

Seeing as how the refs are supposed to have incontrovertable evidence to the contrary, that overturn was completely unjustifiable. Horrible call.

Kind of like the phantom Holmes TD the last time they played?

 

[Big Rocks]

Baltimore offense doing nothing. That better change quickly if they want to stay in the game.

"NFL RULES are not to my liking, and the Refs called it right".

Just like the botched kickoff call in the earlier game, I fully expect the NFL to admit this was a bad call. Both feet were down, his hand was down, and he made a football move. It was a catch and TD. We'll agree to disagree.

 

[timschochet]

So far Flacco looks...like a rookie QB.

 

[FlapJacks]

The NFL has got to change that rule. What a stupid call. That's a catch.

what rule?He came down with the football and made three steps....

 

[treat88]

"NFL RULES are not to my liking, and the Refs called it right".

The interpretation is if there was a football move prior to him going down.There were clearly at least three steps, a dive, and a hand on the ground prior to losing control.That is not what the rules say an incomplete pass is.

Typical Clowns fan. Sorry you lost the original Browns and are now stuck by a perpetual expansion team that gets owned by the Steelers.

 

[T Bell]

I know I watched a game (couldn't tell you who was playing or exactly when it was) when a coach challenged a catch IIRC, and was not only not successful, but it resulted in the ball being spotted differently, and to his team's detriment. It wasn't a gigantic change on the spot, but it did work to his detriment.

 

[FlapJacks]

Why didn't the Ravens get called for a late hit there?

did you see the Titans game?it's because it's the Ravens

 

[T Bell]

Ben doesn't look elegant, but he makes plays.

 

[timschochet]

It was a bad call, but it's over. Let's move on.

Fumble good

Keep about the refs. They already gave you 1 SB win.

Nothing like timschochet being the voice of reason...%(%&$% Willie Parker...ugh...

 

[Britney Spears]

I thought they got rid of the "football move" rule? Isn't the rule now you have to control the ball all the way to the ground now?

Maybe I imagined this rule change.

 

[T Bell]

Poor job protecting the ball by FWP there. That shouldn't have resulted in a fumble.

 

[Steve Tasker]

That must be it.

 

[Lombaowski]

Big play there. Come on O!
