MadLib said:I hope you arent trying to imply that I am bashing the Pats. Never once did I blaim them for this mistake. Although I do consider them a bit lucky by benefiting from it. To say that the 52 seconds did not effect the outcome is definitely debatable, obviously if the Steelers had scored with 29 seconds left in the game (instead of 1:21) it surely would have been a different outcome.
OK, not to get too deep here, talking time-space contiuum, but if even a fraction of a second (and it would have been at least 30 seconds) difference happened when the ref stopped the play to re-adjust the clock, every play after that would not have happened. Instead new plays would have happened. To refer to the plays that happened as though they would have taken place is false if that makes sense.
The Pats could have scred 10 points to Pitts none or vice versa. The fact remains that the Steelers time keeper screwed up, added :52 seconds around the 14 minute mark of the 4th quarter with Pitt up by 3.
We were bystanders. If anything, Pitts guy scrweed them.
