I knew this was coming. The Steelers should have had the option of declining the penalty and keeping the TD.
Ref admitted after the game the call was blown. The play would only be dead if San Diego advanced it. The defense can advance a second forward pass and score a TD off it. |

Forget that, where was the illegal forward pass? Unless he equates "forward" with "backwards", there never should have been a flag. He not only choked on calling the play, he choked on enforcing the one he erroneously called!

That was a poorly officiated game in general.

Referee says officials errantly voided Steelers TD
By ALAN ROBINSON – 1 hour ago PITTSBURGH (AP) — The first 11-10 game in NFL history shouldn't have ended that way, referee Scott Green said after a last-minute touchdown was errantly taken away from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The officiating mistake didn't affect the outcome since the Steelers still would have won, but the touchdown would have changed the score to 17-10 — or, more likely, 18-10, since the teams were lined up for an extra-point try that was never attempted. On first-and-10 from San Diego's 21 with 5 seconds remaining, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a short pass to LaDainian Tomlinson over the middle for 3 yards. Tomlinson turned and made a handoff-type lateral to wide receiver Chris Chambers, who attempted to pitch the ball to a teammate only to have safety Troy Polamalu scoop it up and score from the 12. Both teams left the field on what looked to be a game-ending play, but were called back by the officials for the extra-point attempt. At that point, the replay official called for a review. After watching the play, Green initially announced the ruling on the field was upheld and the touchdown counted. But the officiating crew huddled again before the extra-point attempt and changed the call, deciding that an illegal forward pass by Rivers should've ended the play. Green, in a postgame interview with a pool reporter, said that call was errant — even though his explanation for the confusion was almost as confusing as the play itself. "We should have let the play go through in the end, yes," Green said. "It was misinterpreted that instead of killing the play, we should have let the play go through." Green said the confusion occurred because there was a misunderstanding about whether Rivers' pass or Tomlinson's lateral was in question. "The first pass was the one that was illegal, but it only kills the play if it hits the ground," Green said. "That was incorrect to have killed it at that point. The ruling should have let the play go on. That's just the way that it played out. We believe the second pass (by Tomlinson) was legal." Green was asked why, since the first pass by Rivers did not hit the ground, the officials decided after huddling that the play should have ended there. "We didn't kill it on the field," Green said. "After (the) discussion we decided ... there was some confusion over which pass we were talking about and it was decided that it was the second pass that was illegal that did hit the ground and therefore we killed the play there." However, the officials realized afterward they erred. "I know," Green said. "The rule was misinterpreted." Asked about the officiating — the Steelers drew 115 yards in penalties to the Chargers' 5 — Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment. "No, I have never seen a game ended with 13-to-1 in penalties, but I am not answering questions about the officiating," Tomlin said. The call affected betting on the game since the Steelers were 5-point favorites and would have covered if the touchdown counted. |

I believe that the call was actually correct and that this story/official is wrong...... but we will see later in the week, when they dig into it a bit more. If there was an illegal forward pass, I do not believe there is a scenario where the TD could count.

The worst year for refs, both in pros and college.
Did anyone see yesterday's Ohio St-Illinois? The refs got 3 calls wrong on 1 play. ![]()

Funny how no one mentions the fact that Pittsburgh should have won by 5 anyway, but had a bonehead penalty cancel out the TD right before they kicked the FG!

The holding call was legit
|

|
|
#17 | ||||

it was a 2nd forward pass, although I don't really know what the rules say about advancing a completed 2nd forward pass although you can't if it hits the ground. So it may have been an incorrect ruling, but Tomlinson did flip it forward

sure, but that was a much more legit play in and of itself than the BS lateral crap that was going on at the end..

these refs should be fined
they have no problem with fines for players if the refs knew they would be fined, maybe they would try a little harder! |

yeah they admit it but won't change the result of the game like they should.
Something very fishy was going on at the end and I believe the NFL should've adjusted the score. |

they changed the score of the Robin Ventura game back in 2000 WAY after the fact...surprised the same didn't happen here

I would have LOVED to have been in a vegas sportsbook as that play evolved and the aftermath after the ref took the points off the board, THAT would have been entertaining
