***OFFICIAL NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP THREAD***

That should've been pass interference.

 

[KLin]

Holy crap he took 2 steps before diving. I could understand if holmes was in midair, caught the ball, and lost control when he hit the ground. Bad call by the refs.

There's no possession til he makes body contact with the field. The ball made contact with the ground first and came out.

Not true at all. He took steps with the ball.

He was turning to go for the ball - he wasn't pulling the WR down because he couldn't cover him. The WR was in the way. The DB has just as much a right to the ball as the WR.

I'm sure a lot of Eagles fans will whine that the refs stole the game from them. The Cardinals got screwed out of a turnover in the 1st half that would have almost definitely led to points, so keep the whining to WIP.

 

[Away]

Fumble

 

[Pocatello]

Let see what the Ravens can do.

And you can't grab the WR to get to the ball. Pass interference.

Looks like Ben is out.

 

[ElFenix]

[ElFenix]

[Capt Caveman]

Ravens are making some shitty offensive play calls.

Looked to me like the WR was just in the way, he was going for the ball the whole time. Just because running into the receiver caused him to fall awkwardly doesn't change that fact. Incidental contact.

Maybe he'll be like Romo and keep playing and playing and playing, but every time he gets taken down he'll hold his back or side or neck or whatever else he can think of.

Grabbing the WR's jersey is not incidental.

 

[Pocatello]

No first down for the Ravens.

 

[FreshCrabLegs]

TD!

 

[CraKaJaX]

What a play.

 

[MotF Bane]

TD Steelers.

 

[Pocatello]

Nice play by Big Ben and Holmes.

A) You aren't going to convince me he pulled the receiver down
B) The ref agreed with me
C) Even if it WAS a bad call (which I don't think it was), the Cardinals got screwed on a worse bad call earlier i the game. So I guess it evens out.
