Ah, the More Things Change...
-
Whether they were payed or not the calls went pittsburghs way all night. There were a couple that were down right mockeries of professional football. Whether that last call should have been reversed or not - the Cardinals were done dirty. At least it was 3 ohio boys who did it though, Rothlessburger HOlmes and Harrison. Only they were playing for the wrong team.

I agree im just trying to find SOME KIND OF FKING COMFORT IN THIS SH!T... I HATE FOOTBALL
-
I don't know. There were a ton of...let's call them questionable calls...against the Seahawks in Superbowl XL.
And then tonight...
-Harrison didn't get in on the touchdown
-I saw at least one occurance where Ben should have been called for grounding but wasn't.
-A very questionable roughing the passer penalty that even the announcers questioned.
-Missing the excessive celebration by Holmes when he used the ball as a prop, and also his team joined which is illegal.
-Warner didn't fumble, his arm was going forward
-A VERY questionable "running into the holder" penalty on the Cardinals which was completely harmless and incidental.
-Combined with the over 100 yards of penalties on the Cardinals
It's not an easy thing to do to just push that under the rug even if you're NOT a Browns fan.

1. Harrison was in ON Fitz's LEG!2. He was outside the tackle box both times, they showed it on the screen.
3. The NFL has been protecting the QB all season no?
4. What? lol
5. It was a fumble and how much time was on the clock when it occurred? 5 seconds! what exactly is Warner going to do with 5 seconds heave one over 50 years and hope for the best with the entire defense in prevent?
6. I thought this call was weak so agree but they still only got the field goal.
7. What were the final penalty tallies because Pittsburgh sure as hell had a lot of calls go against them in the second half
Sounds like a whole bunch of ridiculous, over-extended crying. How far did you have to reach for most of those?
I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure if the play was overturned the personal foul against Pitt would have been enforced putting the cards on the 35-40 yard line of the Steelers. I could bitch about couple other calls, but the non review really urkes me.

His knee didn't look like it ever hit the ground before the ball crossed the plain, it's debatable, there were no extremly clear angles.
-I saw at least one occurance where Ben should have been called for grounding but wasn't.
Same here, but one could argue that being hit while throwing can throw one's aim off.
-A very questionable roughing the passer penalty that even the announcers questioned.
No argument, I don't know what the hell those refs were high on that play
-Missing the excessive celebration by Holmes when he used the ball as a prop, and also his team joined which is illegal.
while against the rules, it didn't hurt anyone or wasn't a real distraction. It was more of a tribute to LBJ being an OSU guy. I wasn't offended.
-Warner didn't fumble, his arm was going forward
Have to agree there, the Cards got burned out of a play.
-A VERY questionable "running into the holder" penalty on the Cardinals which was completely harmless and incidental.
Sadly kickers are fluffed more than qbs anymore, most of the time a blocker can push a defender into a "helpless" kicker and there's a near automatic first down.
-Combined with the over 100 yards of penalties on the Cardinals
Really man, most of those calls were obvious. What got me is that some of the same obvious calls were missed on Steelers offensive linemen as well. A bit fishy since it was mainly one way but every holding call was justified.

Although I think it should have been reviewed (It was the biggest game of the year and they should make a thousand percent sure they got the call right.), the refs on the field got the call correct. By rule, in order for that play to have been ruled an incomplete pass, the QB's arm had to have been moving forward...and here's the key...with COMPLETE CONTROL of the ball. As much as it pains me to say it, the ball had been knocked loose and, if you watch closely, you can see that Warner pushed the ball forward after it was loose. The Cardinals did get screwed on several calls in this game. But this was one call that the officials got right. There was the no call on the "Lebron James" TD celebration by Holmes. There was the rediculous roughing the passer call on Dansby. And Harrison should clearly have been ejected from the game for his roid rage tantrum! And I'm sure there were other calls. But, it is what it is.
As a Browns fan and subsequent Steelers hater, I want to be able to say that Warner did not fumble that ball. But, as a fan of the game, I have to say that the call on the field was correct. Regardless if it should have been reviewed or not.

Another year, another Browns' losing season, another offseason's worth of whining about the referees in the Super Bowl.
The Steelers won, Warner fumbled, end of story. Time to take Pedro Martinez's advice, tip the hat to the Steelers, and...well, you know the rest.

f@ck that shit the refs blew the call and could not allow another play in case the cardinals scored, then they would have to return the money from the rooneys

I will say this about warner..he is an absolute master of moving his arm forward after the ball is knocked out of his hands it gives the illusion that his arm was actually in forward progress..very well done...lol
