[ QUOTE ] This is the problem with that call. Watching the replay, it is CLEAR that Ben takes the ball into the end zone after he was already downed. [/ QUOTE ] The ball does not have to cross the white. It only needs to touch it. That happened as he was being tackled. When he landed, he did indeed land behind the line but the ball had already touched the white on his way down. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly, it was a little close but it was clearly a TD. The only other call that was close was the pushoff in the endzone; he did push-off but it probably shouldnt have been called. And even so it's nothing like what happened to the Steelers against the Colts. Btw I'm a 49ers fan so I really don't care either way who wins, except I don't really want to see the Steelers tie the 49ers and Cowboys with 5 wins.

The thing is, watching it live it looked like that ref was going to rule him down. Then he ran in, and it seems like after he saw Ben in the end zone is when he decided it was a TD. [/ QUOTE ] I think you are overinterpreting the official's timing and the way it was called, but I definitely agree that it was very very close and it sucks that it couldn't have gotten overturned either way. but hey, that is the game. That call was too close to get right all the time, it is not like the refs are biased.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Can anyone of you say conclusively that ball did not touch paint? [/ QUOTE ] This is the problem with that call. Watching the replay, it is CLEAR that Ben takes the ball into the end zone after he was already downed. And the ref who had the best view, didn't signal TD until AFTER that point. [/ QUOTE ] Ben taking the ball back into the endzone at the end of the play doesn't mean much. He could have easily have broken the plane, gotten pushed back when he hit the defender, and then been downed. Saying that the official didn't signal touchdown until after the above had happened doesn't mean much either. He had about a second to make the decision, you can't make too much about that. I do agree that if the play had been ruled at the .2 yard line on the field it would have been extremely difficult to overturn in the booth and that sucks, but IMO it is much more likely that he was in than not. [/ QUOTE ] The thing is, watching it live it looked like that ref was going to rule him down. Then he ran in, and it seems like after he saw Ben in the end zone is when he decided it was a TD. Maybe the ball did cross the goal line. It certainly was very, very close. But after he rules it a TD there, there's no way it can get overturned. Hopefully the Hawks will come out in the 2nd half and put some points on the board, and it'll all be a moot point. I smell a big turnover from Big Ben soon. [/ QUOTE ] OK, I take it back, the end zone full speed view I can see how it looks like a TD for sure. If Seattle plays some D on that 3rd down play when Ben threw it up for grabs to Ward, they never get it on the 1 anyway. GO HAWKS IN THE 2ND HALF!!!
