Well you had 1 of two things right there lol.No Roethlisberger was not in and yes Jackson did push off (BARELY just a little tap).But that little tap came after recieving a shove in the back by Hope.
Check out this picture when Ben scored..Holding call by the Seahawks that people were complaining about.
I didnt say anything about the holding,that was definately a hold.But that Ben TD was not a TD.Even looking at your picture.You can see green in between the ball and the front of the plane.And thats as close as he got becasue he tucked the ball back under him after that.Even in that picture the ball never touched or went across any part of the white line.
Yeah, thank you for proving the Roethlisberger run WASNT a TD.The part of the picture you highlighted is the one yard line, not the endzone, and you can clearly see the laces of the football on the one yard line. The Football never crossed the white line, therefore, it was never a touchdown. That one though is kinda irrelevant IMO though cause they would have just handed it to the bus on 4th and 1 and he would have gotten it.

True, there were bad calls, but I dont believe they affected the outcome. Seattle couldn't capitalize on Pittsburgh mistakes. The reason the Ben TD wasn't overturnes was no conclusive evidence in the replays. Its kind of annoying how everyone thinks refs won the game.
I read on the newspaper today if they overturned Big Ben's touchdown, we would went for 4th and goal.. At least Ben was being honest on the David Letterman's show and admits he wasn't in
Fans on the losing side of this will just continue to bitch and fans of other teams that werent even in the playoffs or were knocked out by the Steelers (Cincy, Colts, Denver) will forever bitch.

Most teams would with a straight ahead run or QB sneak.

if the defender would have pushed off like jackson did it would have been a PI. The bad calls are: Ben TDand the Matt Hasselbeck cut when it he was tackling :S
Lol,you still deny the PI huh? Ill tell ya what.You get you a copy of that play and watch it again and lets see if you change your mind.You definately will because first of all their was minimal contact,and second the contact was between BOTH PLAYERS.And your just saying to Ben TD was a bad call now because Ben himself said he didnt think he got in.Pathetic.
It's kind of pointless discussing the bad refereeing now. The games over. Steelers are the champions. The officiating didn't affect the outcome. Seattle couldn't capitalize on pittsburghs mistakes. Pittsburgh capitalized on Seattles mistakes.

Just forget about it now people. It's over, Steelers are champs. :glare:
Also look at the prior playoff games. Chicago/Carolina ... New England/Denver. Awful officating cost the Pats a superbowl.
