The block in the back on the pick 6 on Manning decided the game.If it was the Steelers there would be atleast 20 threads dicussing how the NFL wanted the Steelers to win and the Refs should be in their parade.blah, blah ,blah

It was well officiated. That's what happens when the Stealers aren't there.

Well we know Rothlisberger can tackle, so a block in the back against him might've actually had some bearing on the possible result of the play.

I didn't see a block in the back. Looks like he engaged him while he was still straight up and the player turned during the course of the block

Clearly it was a block in the back:

The best still shot I could find:


#91 clearly pushed Manning in the back, I can't see how anyone could dispute it.

I was drunk enough by that part of the game I didn't see the penalty.

As for the Pittsburgh connection part of the thread, I've learned to pretty much just laugh at the "durrr...duh SteAlers cheateded" people. No matter how much they strip themselves of dignity with their little rants, it won't take the rings away AND won't change the fact that a large number of the more vocal complainers cheer for a supposed rival team that has about as much chance to win a championship in the near future as I would if I collected 10 friends and we all got good and drunk before hitting an NFL field with an open challenge for every team to come get some.

Yeah they missed the call. But to say that decided the game is ridiculous.
The Saints would have still had the ball with 3 mins left and a 7 point lead and the Colts couldn't stop the Saints the entire 2nd half.

Could they have called it? Probably but it was very light.

If they called it the Colts would have declined anyway. They had a better shot of tying the game down 2 scores then down 1 with the Saints in possession lol.

I don't think it was "light", Manning went tumbling to the ground pretty hard.

As mentioned before, it had no direct result on the out come of the game.
