Steelers TD 2 Feet Down?

[ninetoone]

The key to the play was the call on the field of no touchdown. There wasn't enough visual evidence to overturn it, therefore, bad call. Had they called it a TD on the field, it shouldn't have been overturned either.

it was a touchdown. i don't understand why, if his feet were in the endzone, that it matters where the ball is at? if you're on the sideline and drag both feet, the catch is in bounds, regardless of where the ball is located. also, forward progress, his feet were in the endzone.

A touchdown is defined by any part of the BALL crossing the goal line....or


Touchdown: When any part of the ball, legally in possession of a player inbounds, breaks the plane of the opponent’s goal line, provided it is not a touchback.

What I don't understand at this point is why they don't use a laser of some sort to validate "ball over line"....

i promise i won't put it in.

i just want to rub it slowly and gently against your smooth lasered goal line.
