maybe not understanding what the hell was going on, or the constant commercial breaks had something to do with it.

The NFL has done everything in their power to make football completely unwatchable.

The ball definitely crossed the line when he was pushed back by the tackler.

You guys are a riot.

And the tip of ball crossing the plane of that with line is a TD per the rules.

The bad call was when that Seattle receiver caught the pass, tucked it in, got hit & fumbled & the refs blew the whistle, not reviewable.

Using TiVo, we replayed that one again and again. I saw nothing definitive one way or the other. Roethlisberger's arm appeared to cover the tip.

I recorded it on tape and rewound constantly. The ball was over the line when he was pushed back by the tackler.

The official on the field certainly thought so.

He was correct in his judgement.

I know, but breaking the plane and crossing the line are two different things. It was a TD, but it didn't cross the line, it just broke the plane.

Not enough evidence to prove otherwise.
