WHAT A CHAMPIONSHIP CLASSIC !!!!!!!

I was rooting for Pittsburg, but you have to review that call. If it was a foward pass, with the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty the Cards would have had the ball on the Steelers 25 yard line or so with about 7 or 8 seconds left. Now that would have been dramatic.

After wathcing the replay, he lost posession of the ball before his hand moved forward. It's the empty hand rule or whatever it's called. In that case it is a fumble.

The difference between that call and the earlier one is that Warner was already moving the ball forward when he lost it...so...incomplete pass.

I feel strongly that if it was reviewed, it would have been a fumble...but they probably should have reviewed it (I am guessing they did but decided quikcly it was a fumble).

All in all, I can't believe the Steelers won. I thought for sure it was over when Larry scored his second TD.

I'm glad for Santonio Holmes. He hit a low point earlier this year but turned things around and really proved how great of a WR he can and will be.

Chachi,

Luvin the "humble" post...just simply put...6

but way too many penalties for two championship level teams to commit.

Steelers offense stopped three times inside the 3 yard line???

And what - they combined for less than 100 yards offense in the 3rd quarter?

Then both defenses completely break down in the last four minutes? I suspect if Arizona had been left with more time on the clock the outcome could easily have flipped the other way.

But - that being said - an exciting game.

Unfortunally the right call was made Warner got the ball knock out of his hand though I was rooting for him the Steelers won!! I hated that team is the 70s I guess I am ok with them now!!

The NFL said today that they did review the play and called it a fumble, just didn't get any coverage from TV
