robfg67 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 There is no way the booth official had enough time to look at all available angeles to determine that was a fumble as quickly as they did. It should have been reviewed. I was hoping for a hail mary pass into the end-zone. With Larry Fitzgerald's hands and jumping ability, it would have been interesting. ...and remember, if a reciever got bumped before the ball arrives it would have been pass interference with the ball placed at the 1-yard line and Arizona would have been able to run one untimed play to win the Super Bowl. Now, that would have been an exciting finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Again, that's why I hate that rule. WAY too open to individual interpretation IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver88 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If it's not clearly out of the QB's hand( ie thrown) it's not a pass. At least IMVHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWade2 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I happen to be In Chicago this weekend with the family...don't give a crap about either team, and obviously didn't bother going to the game, But the Steeler faithful are down in the hotel bar now drowning thier sorrows, quite loudly!!! We did take a cab ride past the stadium while the Steelers were still winning I think. Go 9ers, already leading the NFC West!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Very disappointing football weekend for me. My Wahoos were in control at Southern Miss and blew it, and then the usually very reliable Jeff Reed missed TWO ugly field goals for the Steelers loss. :fs1: :grrrr: :headpop: :( Watching the Cowboys game right now. That place is mind-boggling, but I hate Jerry Jones so..........go Giants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
