    That ref said waaay too much. Any play that requires that kind of explanation is bogus.

    Pretty obvious that the the Dolphins fell on the ball. Officials have to follow the play in case it is ruled a fumble in replay.

    The Steelers aren't required to follow NFL rules. Or even football rules. Everyone knows that.

    The problem is that the officials quit on the play when it was ruled a TD. You'd think that with replay and challenges that the officials would make sure every angle is covered so that in the event of a reversal they'd know who had possession. If the play had been ruled a fumble from the get go, the Dolphins would have been awarded possession. I'm sick of officials using the rulebook as an excuse for sloppy officiating.

    I will always hate Pissburgh for this very reason. If the official sees the ball come out that close to the goal line why would you blow the play dead unless you absolutely know it was a td.

    I liked Tony Sparano's post-game speech. "They just told me that even after our guys came up with the ball and handed it to them, they couldn't tell who recovered it."

    Something along those lines.

    Tomlin was, of course, saying it was the right call, "clearly a scrum (or whatever) for the ball" blah blah blah.

    So what he's actually saying is that the refs blew the play dead before a team was able to gain posession of the football? Fumbles being live unless they go out of play or a team gets posession...

    Surely someone has to be fired for that?

    When I saw Ed Hochuli at our game today, I almost had a heart attack.

    Fortunately, it was the best reffing I've seen in a long, long time. Completely unbiased and fair.
