I've watced that pit-sd play 50 times in slow mo

[gjn23]

there is no way in hell that the video replay show it to be an illegal fwd pass

at worst, it's a lateral thus a legal play.

there is no INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE that CLEARLY shows the ball was passed forward.

it "appears" to be a lateral at best becasue chambers is slightly in front of lt but the ball was let go laterally or backwards by LT and chambers had to reach back to catch the ball.

my main question and conspiracy theory was......WHO THE FUK BUZZED THE REF TO HAVE HIM GO LOOK AT THE PLAY....that obvisously had to come from above (and beyond).
the play didnt make a difference to the outcome of the game, there was no flag thrown on the field, the ruling on the field was backwards pass.....
HOW THE FUK WAS IT OVERTURNED?

money, simple.

the leauge was built on gambling, franchises changed hands on gambling (70 years ago), and the popularity is still based on gambling (what's the point of an injury report???)

After the game, referee Scott Green said the officials realized afterward the touchdown should have counted, though it wouldn't have affected the result.

I watched it several times and LT lets the ball go at 25 1/2 yard line and it is caught just beyond the 26.

I thought they got the call right....BTW- I had SD

Awesome how everyone knows this after the game os over but these clowns running the game at the game couldnt determine this.

keep watching......there is no INDISPUTIBLE evidence that it was a forward pass.


LT is running forward, he extends his arm sideways and lets the ball go, it's floating in the air parrallel to where he let go, chambers was ahead of him, but had to reach back to get the ball giving the illusion that the ball was passed forward

despite all this

isnt the PURPOSE of replay to OVERTURN CALLS THAT SHOW INDISPUTIBLE EVIDENCE......exactly what was indisputible in this play???

that said, the refs get replay wrong all the time as they are "looking" for something and "thinking they saw something" as opposed to going with the ruling on the field.

No doubt...Pitt backers were screwed.

It definitely wasn't indisputable.

It was the only play I won today, and I actually "saw" that ending happening to me!

When they overturned it, I almost shit! I NEVER come out on the better end of these games.

Just for arguments sake point differential is a playoff tiebreaker so there is at least an arguable reason why it matters and it would be reviewed.

chris carter made the same point at halftime....

what`s amazing is that what was obvious in real time and slo mo on t.v.,looked entirely different in the replay booth...

by about 4 or 5 yards...
