Yeah, but he's still got to get his other foot down and in bounds for it to be a catch.
I don't know if the game was as poorly officiated as everyone says, if only because I couldn't bring myself to pay attention for most of the contest. (The trly terrible call was the holding penalty on the pass that would have brought the Seahawks to the 2 yard line.) What an awful, awful game, living proof that a close game can be a bad game. Sloppy play all around, it was low scoring not because of good defense but just because of terrible execution.
I've been a big defender of parity in the NFL but this season has really made it harder for me. Was there ever a time in this game that you said to yourself "Man, these are some great teams"? I got the feeling in this year's playoffs that the team that would win would be the team that sucked the least, and I think thats what we got. I can't look at this Steeler's team and think that they clearly rose above the competition.
