Either way it was a pathetic non-call.
The Burgh has a lot of fans all over the country, if they make the distance the SB will have fine ratings.
And how the wonderful class of Big Ben not assigning any blame nor taking any credit for the fumble and tackle. Solid organization with solid players.

Wasn't there under two minutes to play left in the game? Why not just take a knee?

I'm glad the NFL rule book is a living, breathing document! The 9th circuit is officiating today ;) (A CLASSIC !!) 714 posted on 01/15/2006 3:56:12 PM EST by cgk
In all fairness, I was responding to Invisible Church's brilliant comment #710. He gets credit for making the original statement. :D
BTW, thank you beyond the sea, for trying to keep the live thread about football, and not a singles bar.

If Polamalu stays on the ground and never makes any move of any kind until touched by a Colt, its not an interception?

I think you missed the point: In trying to get up and advance the ball, Troy did make a football move. He created his own fumble with his knee. Fumbles to not require being hit by the opponent.

Does anyone want to talk about the end of the Peyton Manning mystique? Is it over for him?
I used to think Belichick was in his head, but it now seems that Peyton is in Peyton's head. Peyton had the happiest happy feet that I've ever seen.

So, the receiver could just stand there for, say, 15 seconds, not have the defense come and touch him or attempt to move, have no whistle, then put the ball on the ground, and it's an incomplete pass instead of a fumble?

In the After Game show, all the commentators said that they were glad the Steelers won because they got screwed on that call.

Yes...... he is a REAL star. And, he is a very quiet and gentle guy off the field. And, he is said to have an IQ up around 160.
I love the guy......... and so do the young ladies here in the 'Burgh.
Btw, did you read the one poster's comment on Troy's interception (very funny):
"He had one knee and a head of hair down .... Interception" mikrofon
That's priceless.

After the review, that one was ruled a touchback and it would have been Carolina ball on their own 20 BUT.... there was also a facemask on the Panthers on the play. The Bears took the penalty which resulted in half the distance to the goal and automatic first down. The refs got that one right ... eventually.

Funny you should mention that. Steeler's WR Plaxico Burress once made a catch and spiked the ball as he stood up(it was his rookie year, and he forgot that in the Pros you're not down until touched by an opposing player). It was ruled a fumble. This "football move" BS is just that: BS. (And something for woefully inept officials to hide behind.)

Well, I think the Mike Vanderjagt mystique is over and he will not be in Indianapolis a year from now.

Because there was still 1:20 on the clock and Indy had all their time outs. Taking a knee would have given Indy the ball back with about a minute left and still only a 1 score lead. Get the TD and you've got a two score lead.

The Manning mystique will never end. He's a good QB, plays near the center of the sports coverage world, and gives good interview. The press will worship him until he's in Canton.

Well, I think the Mike Vanderjagt mystique is over Ouch. Even Vinatierri misses once in a while, but not by that much. Still, Manning had the chance to get the Colts 5-10 yards closer.

Poor game management. The Colts should have picked up the 1st down, instead, Manning went to the end zone then deep. By picking up the 1st down it would have made the field goal a little easier.

New England got ripped off on that interference call in the endzone, as an example. You may be right, but New England has nothing to complain about. The NFL has gone to such great lengths to scrutinize every single bit of contact between receivers and defensive backs in the last couple of years specifically because in big games the Patriots' defensive backs were known to "push the envelope" on the rules regarding downfield contact.
It's gotten so damn ridiculous that a cornerback with no arms could probably play in the NFL these days, since the position has become so heavily regulated.
