I don't buy all the conspiracy theories. How the hell did they conclusively call Big Ben short of the goal line? That was a 4 point difference right there.
There were shitty calls, but for the most part they seemed to be for both teams.

It's one frame. It could have been taken right after or before both feet touched. When the replay showed it, I thought there was conclusive that both feet touched, even if it was for only for half a second.

I saw countless replays of that play and it did appear that Holmes caught the ball. It was a great catch, especially considering there were 3 Cardinals in the area.

The cards were seriously screwed on their last play. No doubt in my mind. It should have been a forward pass. He had the freaking ball in his hand and his arm was going forward from my observation.
If they are going to call ALL the penalties then they should call the celebration one too. You can't pick and choose.
If that pic' is correct and he did not get both toes down I don't know what I would do if I was a player for the cards. Probably go ballistic.

Play should have been reviewed (the forward pass) for sure, but the rule states that QB must have possession of the ball while the ball is coming forward. It looked clear to me that the ball started coming out in his back swing, and while the ball did go forward, it was basically hit forward by his fore arm. But then again, I never thought they would reverse the Roethlisburger TD, either.

So, this picture has been making the rounds today...thoughts? I thought that was the case when I saw the replay.
