Has to be reversed - was touchedby Foote, but you can;t blame the refs for not seeing it on the field

The referee should be fired on the spot if he does not overturn this fumble call.

You guys see one of the refs yell at Hasselbeck. And ruling the fumble with such conviction.

I'm usually on your side, Troy, but I just don't even think this is the worst called game this post-season. It is no worse than a regular season game. I've seen one bad call (the tackle/block). The TD you were crying about earlier was a toss-up and no way clear either way. |

Ok..I'm not one for conspiracies, but that holding call was BS, they missed two offsides calls and then wtf was with "blocking below the waist" on a TACKLE????
This call will go to Pittsburgh too. I hope I'm wrong, but I just get a feeling that the NFL wants Bettis to get his ring. |

No, he should be fired before it. This decision has now cost Seattle it's last challenge. The fact Seattle had to waste a challenge on on obvious call is sickening. I wonder how Joey Porter is going to respond to this. |

Even if he wasn't touch, the ground can't cause a fumble.
Or can it? |

The overturn was correct. The blocking call on the interception return is the only truly indisputably bad call this game.

Shut the fuck up, Al Michaels. Hasselbeck was down as soon as his KNEE touched the ground, which was before either of his elbows hit. Good grief.

Seattle needs to score a TD before the clock hits 4 minutes left.

OK, that's fine. Then how is it only one team is holding today? Sorry guys, this is a joke. The TD call was ridiculous not only because it was blown (TWICE no less), but because the ref didn't make the call until after Ben was down and had moved the ball over the line. The push off by Jackson was iffy at best and the constant penalties everytime Seattle has a big play is just a bit bizzare, don't you think? What are we at for Seattle now, something like 7 penalties for 70 yards, and at least 5 of those calls came on big plays. The Steelers have 3 penalties and two of those were illegal precedures on the first drive of the game. You'll forgive me if I don't believe the Steelers have played a penalty free game here. |

I am going to give my vote to Ben for MVP. He has made the two biggest plays for the Steelers and his mistake has not hurt them.

They haven't. They have had an offensive pass interference called on them, too. Their first series had two penalties help them to a three and out. Your lack of memory of Steeler penalties is pretty telling of how objective you are being. |

Another thing. . . I'm not dissapointed to see the Steelers win this game. I picked Seattle, but I have no money on it and I like both teams. I'm happy Cowher is finally going to get a ring. And Hines Ward, Polomalu, Hampton, Radall-El, Heath Miller and Big Ben are some of my favorite players in this league. . .
But this has been a joke. |

Pretty ugly game with neither team playing particularly well. Looks pretty sure that the Steelers will hold on here.

Hines Ward (if Pitt wins) 5 catches 123 yds 1td, but Parker could very well be, Even Jerome might be a shoe in.

And your interpretation of the TD is just that: your interpretation. The line judge walked up to be sure of the position of the line and where he saw the ball and then called a touchdown. Ben moving the ball had nothing to do with it. It was a close call that on the replay was close enough that I'd call it a touchdown. You act like he was a yard away, and he wasn't. |

His hand was in the air, spotting the ball. Then Ben moved the ball and the TD was called. Make a call and don't let history change your mind.
