Maybe you should give Roger Goodell a call.

...I think the phone will be pretty busy all day tomorrow and most of next week as it is without me calling as well.

I don't think he needs too. Goodell is probably already sitting with his head in his hands shaking his head thinking, 'what was that official thinking?'
I could maybe see them leaving the call a touchdown if it had been called that way on the field - but I don't see how they can justify overturning the call of no touchdown.

that was...
... THE WORST call ever.
Even worse than the "Goalie interference" call in the Caps-Cryers SCP series last year.

New guy's opinion.
I think they went with WR rules on that. If that pass went to the sidelins, the WR could catch the ball out of bounds if his feet were in bounds. If the RB runs the ball, his feet can be on the 2 yardline, but the ball has to cross. So I think if you go by WR rules, it's a TD.
They overruled the call on the field, so somone must know rules we don't.

That's interesting. If that's the case, then there's a lot of people who didn't know the rule - not the least of which are Chris Collinsworth and the commentators on NBC. I wonder when the last time it came into play was.

I didn't know it was a rule either. I just guessed.

Well, that's no surprise with Colinsworthless and Olbernutt.

I'ts a play that's likely to not happen very often if you think about it.

The guys on NFL Network were just talking about it. Mariucci and Eisen think the ball needs to cross the plane of the goal line. Deion Sanders said he just needed to have his two feet down in the end zone.

I'm a big football fan, and I can't recall the last time I've seen a play like that. If that throw was to the sideline, nobody would have questioned the TD, after reveiw. I just thought it made sense. After the overrule.

Yeah, just saw that. Even they don't know.The guys on NFL Network were just talking about it. Mariucci and Eisen think the ball needs to cross the plane of the goal line. Deion Sanders said he just needed to have his two feet down in the end zone.
BTW, ESPN just replayed it again. Said the same thing about some little known rule.

Maybe that means that just some part of the play has to cross the goalline. Two feet. Or the nose of the football. No matter. It was called a touchdown, after a over rule. Steelers won an excellent game.
