    THIS. This is why I’m so devastated. It’s complete and utter bias. Hell, other NFL players and analysts are at a loss as well.

    As I said in another thread - it's about consistency.

    Call them both TDs, or call neither of them TDs.

    Your officiating crew has thrown flags all season long? Throw some damned flags when there's PI.

    Etc. etc.

    I'm not even sure Cooks was in bounds on that one.

    Someone should get fired, however, they will likely be rewarded. It would be nice if the Gazette or loudmouth Labriloa would do some actual reporting

    The better team lost. cheats had two penalties called against them, all the while Heyward was mauled, over and over. The ball crossed the plain. TD. Rogers was held. I am sick after this travesty yesterday. Have to take care of business the next two weeks to get the 2nd seed. Maybe the Bills will do us a solid.

    Bottom line... in the winding seconds you better be up by more than touch down if you want to beat the Pats or your gonna lose that game. See Dolphins game!!!

    The NFL has got to be consistent on these calls. Not doing so makes the game look rigged, especially when they keep letting one team play by different rules than the rest of the league. More folks will quit watching.

    The players are livid on Twitter. The ones usually vocal aren't saying anything and the ones that usually are, are besides themselves.

    This one is hard because I can’t see the ball move, but it definitely hit the ground..... which is why both TDs should have stood

    The rule needs to be changed for endzone plays. Once you have control and the ball breaks the plane of the goal line, DEAD BALL TOUCHDOWN. When a RB dives and stretches and gets the ball across the plane of the goal line, it's an immediate TD, even if the ball is swatted out of his hands. This rule MUST be addressed AND changed in the offseason. It's ridiculous!

    There is at least a few of these hugely controversial overturned TDs every year. It's not good for the game when there are plays that feel like touchdowns deep in the gut of your fan base, but aren't because of a "rule." Hopefully change will be forthcoming.

    If they give us the TD... The seeding was set. The next two weeks the AFC games would have lost their viewership. Now more games mean something again.

    Its a serious problem when officials are determining the outcome of a game - to much power

    Here's an open can of gas for ya. When the dude in charge of overturning these calls from headquarters calls it a completed pass in the PR video they immediately release, you know you've got a problem. "Roethlisberger completes a pass to James."
