    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we won, I'd just rather it happen without the refs help.

    It's a garbage call. Now we're talking about three steps. He possessed the ball. Two steps. A "football move" is equivalent to a commentator trying to praise a scrub as "he's a football player!"

    They all are! But steelers won. Still a stupid offense and nothing in the middle. Zero

    I think the fine line was the CB was still defending the play. If a WR caught the ball on his toes and fell out of bounds, but had possession and lost the ball before he hit the ground it would be incomplete too.

    He needs to act like he's been there before. Maybe after a few more years of experience will help.

    Correct. What was the football move that makes it a bad call? Answer; there wasn't any.

    I think he had time to quickly bring that ball to his chest. Felt like this was mild show-boating “Look at me, I caught the winning TD” Why “seemingly” grandstand there by hanging the ball out on a clothes line. I don’t know, maybe once I rewatch the tape, I’ll see he didn’t have time to pull that ball in ?

    What "football move" is there to be made once you're in the end zone?

    A 3rd step, pulling the ball into your chest.

    NFL wanted Tomlin to win. He’s the Rooney rule darling. That field goal penalty was preposterous.

    If that happened out of the endzone, would that have been a fumble?

    No? Cool. Cool. Then it's not a TD.

    We got 3 calls that had it gone against us I would have been pissed.

    The blocking the center in the FG that ended up becoming a TD

    the AR catch/fumble/INT

    The Likely TD

    I’m not even saying by the letter of the law they were all wrong but just very questionable.

    Yup, but they got away with pretty blatant pass interference on the play before, so screw 'em.

    They say his foot was inches away from completing a step that would have made it a catch.

    Strange that 3 steps needed. I have seen less steps called a catch and fumble outside the endzone.
