'Ola From Pittsburgh.

They played a hard game. I was biting my nails till the last play. Great Defense, Solid Offense.

How bout a rematch next year?

1. What do you think? Did Benny get that ball over the line?

[Ravenseye]

2. I do

I definately think he broke the plane of the goal as he was coming down. At first glance when the play happened, I didn't think so, I thought it'd be overturned. When I saw the replay though I definately think it showed the ball breaking the plane, and that's all it needed to do.

I think all in all it was a fairly tightly called game, for all the bad calls leading up to this one.

3. What about the call against Jackson for pushing Hope?

Legit or "we wuz robbed"?

[Ravenseye]

5. It was definately close

At the party I was at we talked about that call. How that if that call had been against the Steelers we'd be googling the referee's address and looking to burn down their house.

The thing is though it wasn't incidental contact. It wasn't a huge SHOVE, knocking him down, and then moving to catch, but he did push off Hope. I don't think it affected the play one way or another and if he hadn't touched him, he still would have caught the ball...but he did intentionally touch him.

It's crap, but I think it was a fair call.

4. Not being a fan at all, I only watched for the Detroit factor, I wouldn't

know but, what say the rules? Does TD-Land start at the paint or within? If the former, definitely Ben got through.

6. The start of the paint

The plane you need to break starts with the paint. You break that by a milimeter before you're down and it's a TD.
