SB: Last Play

[Smashmouth24]

How do you throw a flag on a team for removing their helmets that, by your on-field ruling, just won the freaking Superbowl?

Here is all you need to know. Ask yourself the question of would it had been reviewed if the situation were reversed and it was Pitt that fumbled? We all know the answer to that.

No, we don't.

Look, you don't have to like what happened. But let's quit with these "We know what would have happened," "I know 100 percent if this situation were reversed" scenarios.

No, you don't know. And if you say you do, I'll ask you to prove it.

Thank you. Common sense, finally.

If you think for one moment that it wouldn't have been reviewed if it were the Steelers you are crazy.

looked like a fumble to be, in the replay you can see the ball get knocked and start moving out of his grip before he pushes his hand forward but live, I thought the same thing as everyone else.

I watched it probably 20 times. The ball never shifts in his hands. The ball moves, along with his entire hand and arm. But it never shifts in his hand (i.e., he had possession via a firm grip on the ball) the entire time until his arm starts going forward. At that point after his arm starts moving forward, he let's loose of the ball.

I was very upset when they didn't review the call as well. They should have AT LEAST reviewed it, given it back to Arizona as they should have, and given one more shot. I have faith that Warner could have thrown a bomb to Fitzgerald to win the game. Then again, had Pittstain been called for the obvious block in the back on the 100 yd. td. run, AZ would have won. Too many what if's for my liking and too many CRAPPY calls.

I bet within the next five years someone will come out with a book exposing the NFL and some of it's referees of game fixing...it's only a matter of time.

Again, I'm not even arguing that this play determined the outcome.

It's just fishy that it ended the way it did.

Obviously the Steelers are more marketable than the Cardinals, and the NFL is going to make a killing selling the Super Bowl winner shwag to the public.

And I think it was fine that the NFL didn't do anything about Holmes celebration. I think it's stupid they are cracking down on it. And if he can't celebrate after the biggest play in his life, I don't know what to say.

All I know is I hate the Steelers with every fiber of my being and will always say the refs helped them, screwed the other team and that they didn't deserve to win anything no matter how wrong I might be.

It was obvious that the play was a fumble and not an incomplete pass. There was no need for a replay. The infidel Cardinals were not going to win the game. Allah was on the side of the Steelers that night.
Also Holmes did not use the ball as a prop for his end zone celebration which would have given the infidel Cardinals better field position on the ensuing kickoff.


Someone tell Al that the NFL is not college football.
