Tua time!
he wasn't right...at all
Once and for all, IT WAS A FORWARD PASS!

What the NFL says now doesn't mean anything in comparison to what the referee would've ruled.
They said exactly what I said, that it wouldn't have been overturned. I was 100% correct as I usually am.
I said the play was very close, that it couldn't have been overturned b/c there wasn't enough evidence either way.

I couldn't have been more right.
I'm glad my team doesn't suck bad enough that I would have to resort to posting on a rival teams forum to bring their fan base to my level of sadness.
I wish I could say no one cares, but it's obvious by the people that continue to argue with this troll, that they care too much.

i don't care what that guy said hes covering for his officials and the leaguie like mike peirrera used to toss up spin jobs every time they screwed it up when he was in that role...period
that is a forward lateral folks
that is a forward lateral folks
they do that sometimes but he was 100% dead on in saying they wouldn't have been able to overturn. Maybe ti was slightly forward, there's not enough evidence to overturn. Lucky for you guys he stepped OOB.
You 100% sure he stepped out of bounds?

It's patently a forward lateral. He's flinging his body forward, so it creates the illusion on the play that he's farther downfield than he is. BUT if you take the precise moment the ball left his hands and the precise moment the ball contacts Sanders hands, it's about 3/4 of a yard -- maybe half a yard, depending on the angle of the camera. And, if you take when the arm motion BEGINS (as is the ruling, as ZOUNDS aptly notes) then it's well over a yard. Like 1.5 yards.
The only reason the NFL is claiming that its not indisputable evidence is that there's no reason to admit error when it didn't change the outcome of the game, imo. Covering their butts.

Dude. It's interesting.
And, there's a point to all this: IF we can highlight what goes on in officiating, it may bring some accountability. One news article picks up what we are talking about, and it puts a little more sunlight on a shady enterprise. Officials are the hidden variable in the NFL game... needs to be an INDEPENDENT REVIEW BOARD to keep them accountable.
Until such review board is created, though, it's people like us who bring any measure of accountability.
Glad you don't care about shoddy or crooked officiating, but some of us do. And we love football.

however, this one didnt. Yet its the only thing discussed.
EDIT:
Shoddy/crooked officiating? Gimme a break.

When is this forum going to give up on the perpetual victim's role? Doesn't it ever get tiring? I've been here since 2005 and I'm sure it dates to long before that. We never set aside the pathetic theme that the refs are out to screw us, that every game and decision are unfair.
Combine that with the happy adjustments and it's a weekly party. You don't need to know anything else. Show up on a Dolphin forum after not following the team for a year and the guarantee is we're projecting 15 or 20 more touchdowns and 2 yards more per attempt and 10 extra points per game, as long as we weren't victimized by all those unfair injuries or diabolical referee decisions.
Granted, it's not everybody. I applaud the segment who realized on Sunday night that the Roethlisberger play was very tight and would not have been overturned. I remember KTOWN, in particular, was the first to describe it accurately, that it was perhaps 6 inches forward but certainly not enough to overturn, based on established standards the NFL uses.
It's a Dolphin forum, after all, so no chance to acknowledge that we were incredibly fortunate when a skilled wide receiver wandered out of bounds on his own. When the opponent missed that decisive 18 inch putt, which would be the equivalent, we caused it.
The happy adjustments are the signature of this site. It's difficult to find a thread in which somebody isn't hoisting upward based on personnel decisions or similar nonsense. In the company I keep you'd be laughed out of the room and never respected again. I suppose all those teams and quarterbacks on the all time records and stats lists were protected by perfect general manager decision making and no injuries and no penalties and kickers who never missed. We're in our own vacuum of singled out suffering, and decades to go before we even threaten to inch alongside the second most unfortunate team on the list.

No reason to be sanctimonious about it.
Its a fan message board for cripes sake.
If you go on PatsFans you will see an identical thread debating the Pass Interference call. Including several allusions to NFL wanting to stick it to the Pats.
Its just human nature to highlight the things that potentially victimize you and not the ones that benefit you.(i.e. no one talking about the potential no call on Caroll's PI on the second to last drive)

Its all good until its your team that is on the short end...Ill say this much...the situation reversed and I would dare bet the official blows the whistle before the QB could lateral the ball forward saying RT was "in the grasp". Seen it happen to many times & esp with Pitt.
Someone just posted that bogus "We cannot determine who had the ball after the Burger fumble in end-zone so its Pitt ball on the 1/2 yd line" debacle that happened the other season & even in this game two officials looking RIGHT AT Hartlines terrific catch ruled him OB. It took the Fins wasting the only Challenge of the half to fix it.
Yea...when you have been burned more than a few times you learn the fire is hot. If they would have let that last play stand giving Pitt the win I know of at least one fan who would have left the building permanently.
