Yeah, the call on the TD was a tough one and we will never really know the right answer because even through instant replay you cannot tell for sure. You cannot see exactly where the ball was placed in Rothlesberger's arm, and as Hawkeye said, there has to be convincing evidence in the replay to overturn the call on the field, and there just wasn't. I spent half an hour trying to explain that to my wife.
Exactly how the game would have played out if the Steelers didn't get that touchdown, we will never know. The Seahawks might not have felt as much pressure to move the ball if the score was 3-0 at halftime. They might not have made any mistakes. According to the announcers on the Steelers sidelines, the Steelers were really down in the dumps before that touchdown.
I forgot about the Bud grizzly commercial and the streaking sheep. Those were pretty good too.
The halftime show was a little dull, but I think that is what the NFL is looking for after the wardrobe "malfunction" from a couple of years ago. Heck, last year they had Paul McCaurtney for the halftime show.
I'm just glad that this football season is over, and I am dying to see if there are any changes to the rules during the off season. They really need to do something about the rules.
