"Remember, for it to be a forward pass, it has to go forward."

What would we do without Phil Simms?

whistle was after the ball was dropped. Should be Denver ball.

If there's an immediate recovery, does it matter if the whistle blows first? Might just be that way in college.

Lol, was just going to post that. To be a forward pass, it also has to be a pass. Can't be a run.

Once again the refs got this wrong. The ball was not covered by Denver before the whistle blew so it should be Steelers football. The bad thing about replay audio is not used.

The right call is that it is a fumble.

They've given the ball in calls like this before. Should be, don't know what the rule is though.

No it should not be a fumble. The ball should go back to Pittsburgh.

Are you trying to reverse the reverse?

Name 1 thing in the Steelers cards for them to win this game. Pittsburgh often has played shitty but often clinging to a lead....they are losing badly and this greatly resembles at SF.

This game is over and while both of us know that a 14 point lead is not a guarantee.....this game has been decided. Ben has not made a play in a month since his injury...they are injured and it is over.....not a difficult read.

That's bullshit, clearly a fumble. What happened to letting the play continue?

Terrible officiating. Gotta swallow the whistle when its obviously close to a lateral.
