they talked about it last night, and showed a replay-and drew a yellow line to indicate where the goal line was located. looked to me like the ball was on the line.

The ball should have to end up over the line anyway. The current rule sucks, reaching the ball over for a split second....gimme a break.

You made my point. The replay judge is only supposed to overturn the call on the filed if they are 100% certain based on the replay. Nobody could say with 100% certainty whether he got in or not. The right call was to stick with the call on the field. If the guy on the field said it was a TD then that should have been the call they went with. Replay is only to overturn calls that are indisputable. The NFL replay ref screwed up. |

It's the ball that needs to break the goaline, obviously. Holmes touched the ball in the endzone, then switched the ball in his grasp as to possess it while coming forward(out of the endzone). As 9-1 said, its the call on the field that makes all the difference. There is ABOSLUTELY no way, that the call should have been reversed. Not enough evidence to support such a move. They should have stuck with the call on the field, which was on the gash hair line. Who ever said this sport isnt a game of inches?
PS. I love the call in the sense that it makes the Ravens more hungry for a win next week and goes into D-Town and bangs them up before the Birds put the nail in Dallas' coffin.

Bob Ryan on Around The Horn had a GREAT IDEA. Install a chip and sensors at both goal lines - no question then when the ball crosses the plain.

The Steelers historically have never had calls go there way. Mike Renfro?? Seahawks super bowl?? This call just made up for years of bad calls not going the Appalachians way. The fact that this was against the Rat Birds made it not so hard to take in all honesty!!!

i listened to the game on the radio and it sounded like a touchdown to me.

I'm just pissed we couldn't see if they would have gone for it on 4th down...now that would have been fun to watch.

Maybe I am a little worried about the Steelers, as a Giants fan, but they should never have been given a TD. They should have had to go for it on 4th down and live with the outcome. The refs blew it. Indisputable means indisputable. |

All of those that say the call on the field should have stood are correct. There has got to be indisputable evidence to the contrary in order to change an on-field ruling and there clearly wasn't in this case. If it was, then everyone that has seen a replay or photo would be in agreeance. The fact that we are not means it's not indisputable and therefore it should not have been overruled. If the on-field call had been touchdown, I'd be saying the same thing if they had reviewed it and overruled that.

Basically a variation of my laser post. What's bizzare is that tennis has this conquered with results in less than 10 seconds with the little ball and line computer thing but the NFL billion dollar machine can't get replay right to the satisfaction of any. |

Again, football much more complicated....in tennis the only question is whether the ball hits the line, in football you have possession and down by contact issues.
