You may be right, but they've looked a lot harder at easier calls with less on the line. I just thought he was hit but kept control as his arm went forward. Obviously not a great pass, but forward none the less.

Didn't the defender hit the ball before it left his hand?

Yeah, I think he hit the ball, so what. The qb kept control and managed to move the ball forward while still in hand. Worth a look, I thought.

If the defender hits the ball it is hard to say he maintained control. It is possible that the rules states that somewhere being that there are a million rules. I thought they would look at it but noone seemed to even protest.

MSNBC has an article saying the Cards aren't very happy it wasn't atleast reviewed.

Like I said, no dog in the fight. Just a couple of huge calls that seem inconsistant from I've seen all year.

Too bad all reviews couldn't be that fast. Of course when you review it after the game is already over .....

How are they even be comparing the Holmes catch to Tyree? Holmes made a great catch but I've seen Marvin Harrison make that catch a dozen times in the past ten year. Tyree's was pure luck and is dropped by any receiver, good or bad, and just by a fluke happened to stay in his hands. Not sure if any catch can ever top Tyree's and certainly not a nice toe tapper on the sideline.

I actually thought the one earlier was a fumble too. But overall I thought the zebras did a good job. It was a chippie game with alot of flags, including a holding call in the endzone. You hardly see those in the regular season, let alone the Super Bowl.
