I imagine you are good at math becuase you can sure munipulate angles.I have seen refs pull out credit cards before to see if the nose has cleared the box. anyway you put it, you can stick a fat wallet in there and they were still going to call first down.
Take a closer look what angle do you see? But first take off the piss stained sunglasses.
Another case for cheating go to 1.01 on the video and freeze frame it. and dont give me this shit about angles and camera views the camera is right on the goal line.

You're right that wasn't a touchdown by Ben. There is of course the obvious visual evidence that the ball did not break the plane, but also, notice that the ref was about to signal 4th down because he knew it wasn't a TD. Then, AFTER the play is dead Ben scoots the ball across the goal line and the ref signals touchdown IN RESPONSE to this dead ball movement. Open and shut case.
Note also at about 0:45 RT Max Starks is illegally well downfield past the LOS before Ben throws the ball. That is what the line judge is there for, that's his responsibility. Play should have been called back.

Hopefully Holmgren comes back to beat the piss sacks out of the Steelers as a new Brownie!

The ref raised his hand to signal Ben is down, not for ball spot implications.......That's the NFL's explaination.
The ball crossed the play in mid-air before Ben landed(and should and WAS immediately signaled as being "down") and before he streched the ball over the goalline a SECOND time.......Again, this is the explaination from both the NFL and the associtaion of officiating.
Now, both questioneded why the ref didn't immediately signal "touchdown" (and only signaled Ben as "down") from the start. Although, ultimatley, both agreed, along with the on-field refs that Ben got the ball over the plane of the line. Of course, who are they to call a football game.......
Remember, Holmgren didn't take into consideration the ball was over the line on Ben's intial dive. At first, he thought it was ruled a touchdown becuase Ben streched the ball over the line after he was clearly down. That's why you didn't here anymore compliants from him since immediately after the game, becuase he decided to actually watch the full replay and understood the ruling.
Remember during SB 40 when TE Stevens caught the ball, turned up field, took THREE full step before any contact, got hit, dropped the ball, and then finally went down himself? Remember how the ref immediately blew the whistle to rule and incompletion and stopping any chance of the Steelers to review and gain possesion. (4 Steeler were by the ball, but the only Seahawk even near the frame of view was Stevens who had no chance and getting the ball cause he just got tackled.) Of course, you didn't see Cowher complaining about the refs becuase he knew his team wins or loses the game, not the refs.

The ball did not cross the plane when Ben leaped for the goal line. I don't understand how anyone can make that claim. It's on tape!
From the NFL Rule Book:
CROWD NOISE,
DEAD BALL, or NEUTRAL
ZONE ESTABLISHED
One arm above head
with an open hand.
With fist closed: Fourth Down.

If we're thinking of the same play then it's too bad they didn't rule fumble because the ball rolled out of bounds. The Seahawks would have been given the gain, and retained possession. As it was I think they had to punt on that drive.

what's new? The Steelfags still have the officials on their payroll.
Expect even more cheating in favor of the Squeelers in the coming weeks in an attempt to get the Steelfags back in the playoffs.

The ref defiantley screwed up one way or another, I don't have a definate explaination of my own so I simply repeated what the NFL said.
No, we are thinking of different play. The four players with the best chance to pick up the ball were all Steelers and were within three steps of the ball. It wasn't in danger of going at of bounds.
