Anyone interested to review the play - and man, it's not even close - how could they have blown this and overturned after reviewing it?

I don't believe a flag was thrown by an official for the "illegal pass". I am shocked that the replay official can in essence, call a penalty on the field. I thought the job of the replay official was to potentially correct blown calls made by officials (IB or OB, catch or no catch, etc.)
The call on the field was for a Steeler touchdown and the officals were supposedly calling for the players for the extra point attemptIf the Steeler TD was allowed, you wouldn't need to attempt the try.... poor job by all officials in this game.
What about the disparity in penalties called?? 13 against the Steelers, only 2 for the Chargers??
That sticky thread seems to serve a purpose for NFL discussions that don't warrant their own thread. Looking at some of the most recent posts there I see many members discussing the merits of their favorite teams and busting balls of other teams as well as references to the Tampa Bay Rays.
I happen to believe that the inability of the on and off-field officials to get the calls right and communicate them to us is a worthy topic for it's own thread.
And now that NFL thread has morphed into essentially an IM conversation between two members about tonight's game. Didn't there used to be game threads here before, either for high profile games or games between member's favorite teams??I agree.

I agree with this. I also think that MNF should have a separate thread each week, so we don't have to wade through 3 pages of play-by-play of the game to find something more relevant.
HD and I are the only fans of the teams in tonight's game.
You tryt
In contrast, the Bengals and Steelers, who play on Thursday, have multiple fans.
Agreed. That way if someone doesn't want to read people saying how good or bad there team is doing for nine damn pages, they don't have to see it, and it's not stuck in a sticky.
Yeah, well I probably won't be posting during the game. My computer is in a different room than the TV. I might check some during commercials.
I thought replay was going to stop all of these bad calls
I'm in an office pool where the ONLY thing that matters is wins, not points-spread.
In the Steeler game, all I cared about was Jeff Reed's winning field goal, not whether someone covers the spread and gets some dirty (sexy) money.
Picked the same teams I picked on here, and I went 13-1-1.
