PFT: NFL says Roethlisberger lateral was legal

It's legal to pad Big Ben's passing stats - any yards after his initial pass - before the false lateral - count towards his yard total.

That lateral was about as legal as his scrum fumble ended with an early whistle in 2010. Eat my d***, Squealers.

Well, The Irish mob (I mean the Rooneys) have Goddells n**s in a ziploc somewhere in the bowels of Heinz field. So, praise jeebus, allah, buddah, & the flying spaghetti monster that Brown stepped on the line.
 
How can that be? To me it was obvious. It was kinda close but not really.

I was watching NFL review last night on NFL network.
They have the head of officiating comment on controversial plays that happened the prior week.

They chose to show the Non-TD early in Colt-Bengals game and stated the refs made a mistake overturning it because there wasn't enough visual evidence.
Then they went on to the lateral on last play of game in Pittsburgh. He said he didn't see enough visual evidence to overturn that play had Brown scored.

Of course they steered totally away from the Pass Interference calls in Patriots and Ravens game that kept them in their playoff seeding spots
Instead they bring up 2 plays that didn't effect the game outcome to discuss.

Typical NFL spin.
 
There were so many ways that play should've never happened, that for once I'm certain God was up there, laughing his ass off, and suddenly decided, that just this one time, it was too much to do to the dolphins fans, so Antonio brown stepped out. We deserved to win, and we did. End of story.
 
Just some ointment for the steeper fan's butthurt
 
I hate the idea that what was the most important victory of the Philbin/Tannehill era, a huge, extremely uplifting, hope-inspiring win, was nearly flushed down the drain by a ridiculous play that should've been stopped dead as soon as Roeth THREW THE BALL FORWARD. It was pure luck that the guy stepped out, but it was our defense that put Roeth in a situation where he needed to throw a ball forward to get it to that guy. We had control of the situation that forced their guy to commit an illegal play. It was just pure chance that the Steeler stepped out. I hate that that whole key game came down to that pure luck. It cheapens the outcome and that makes me sick.
 
I did find it interesting that he said had they reviewed the play and showed he didn't step out they still couldn't have awarded the touchdown, because the whistle blew. Could you imagine how they would have reacted at Three Rivers?
 
lol God, was probably like "alright alright, i am sure i killed most of the fans with heart attacks by now, here is a small bone for 1 week....wont happen again with my loving pats"
 
Regarding the non motion call. I think nfl needs to allow all calls and non calls be recordable. This will not slow down the game because teams only have 2 challenges per game and during the game there is no way a coach throws the red flag on a non motion call unless they score rd on that play. And if they use the challlenge flag then they have one left. I don't know why the nfl doesn't allow challenges on every non call. Is our situation it would allow us to win a game we deserved and not allow a team to win illigimately. Do you guys agree?

I know that every pass interference in the end zone should reviewed by replay and verified.

These guys on the field have no consistency to their calls. A review could at least make sure that a select few are calling it all the same way.

If you think about it PI in the end zone is a scoring play. The league average for scoring TD's on 1st and goal is around 75% and even if you fail to score you end up getting a sure 3 points.

On average a PI in the end zone is like a 6 point scoring play. Automatic 3 and most of the time 7
 
That is pure B.S. They would have robbed us again just the way that ref robbed us in the last Steeler game when Koa Misi recovered the Roethlisberger fumble in the end zone that would have given us the win.
