   I can’t believe that people are saying yes the ball broke the plain but to the naked eye you couldn’t tell so the official shouldn’t have reversed the call. That is hog wash. If you put a different line on the goal line, you can clearly see that the ball broke the plain. It was a touchdown and the purpose of the replay is to get the call right. They accomplished that by awarding the Steelers a touchdown. It would have been a much greater injustice if they would have not ruled that a touchdown, so if folks feel slighted because they feel that it was not indisputable suck it up and watch the clip that NBC had with the red line on the goal line and you will clearly see that it was a touchdown. Instant replay worked. They made the right call. Don’t dwell on some technicality. Any rate in the officicals mind and eyes it was clear to him so that is was counts.

   nbc sunday night football showed an overhead blown up version posession was made with the ball clear as day breaking the plain. if baltimore should be mad it should be their defense giving up a 92 yard drive even if the refs didn’t reverse the call we would have tied the score and won it in o.t. momentum was on our side. they had a chance to close out the game and did not capitalize,
   that was deflating to their defense. we made the plays that counted in the end. this game was won fair and square.
