[BoKnows]

"After the game, referee Scott Green said the officials realized afterward the touchdown should have counted, though it wouldn't have affected the result."

The **** it didn't....can anyone say bounty?

Isn't points scored one of the tools they use for tiebreakers at the end of the season in case of ties? I'm pretty sure it's down the line after head to head, division record, confernce record, but I think they still use it. We got ****ED and Pitt got ****ED:puke:

I believe the real reason the TD didnt count was that there is a rule in the NFL that you can't advance a lateral or lateral/fumble.

Out of all the replays I've seen and heard, only one guy explained it that way.

Even so, why the F would one not be able to advance a lateral? It's a live ball.

The first 11-10 game in NFL history shouldn’t have ended that way, referee Scott Green said after a last-minute touchdown was errantly taken away from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The officiating mistake didn’t affect the outcome since the Steelers still would have won, but the touchdown would have changed the score to 17-10—or, more likely, 18-10, since the teams were lined up for an extra-point try that was never attempted.

On first-and-10 from San Diego’s 21 with 5 seconds remaining, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a short pass to LaDainian Tomlinson over the middle for 3 yards. Tomlinson turned and made a handoff-type lateral to wide receiver Chris Chambers, who attempted to pitch the ball to a teammate only to have safety Troy Polamalu scoop it up and score from the 12.

Both teams left the field on what looked to be a game-ending play, but were called back by the officials for the extra-point attempt. At that point, the replay official called for a review.

After watching the play, Green initially announced the ruling on the field was upheld and the touchdown counted. But the officiating crew huddled again before the extra-point attempt and changed the call, deciding that an illegal forward pass should have ended the play.

Green, in a postgame interview with a pool reporter, said that call was errant—even though his explanation for the confusion was almost as confusing as the play itself.

“We should have let the play go through in the end, yes,” Green said. “It was misinterpreted that instead of killing the play, we should have let the play go through.”

Green said the confusion occurred because there was a misunderstanding about which lateral was in question.

“The first pass was the one that was illegal, but it only kills the play if it hits the ground,” Green said. “That was incorrect to have killed it at that point. The ruling should have let the play go on. That’s just the way that it played out. We believe the second pass was legal.”

Green was asked why, since the ball didn’t hit the ground during any of the tossing, the officials decided after huddling that the play should have ended.

“We didn’t kill it on the field,” Green said. “After (the) discussion we decided … there was some confusion over which pass we were talking about and it was decided that it was the second pass that was illegal that did hit the ground and therefore we killed the play there.”

However, the officials realized afterward they erred.

“I know,” Green said. “The rule was misinterpreted.”

Asked about the officiating—the Steelers drew 115 yards in penalties to the Chargers’ 5—Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment.

“No, I have never seen a game ended with 13-to-1 in penalties, but I am not answering questions about the officiating,” Tomlin said.

The call affected betting on the game since the Steelers were 5-point favorites and would have covered if the touchdown counted.

I probably will not only beat this dead horse but I may mutilate it as well:bang:****!

That wimpy guy on Mike and Mike in the morning was talking about it today.

He was like "Now no one here at Mike and Mike is suggesting it was a fix or anything like that, but...."

Well why bring it up then? What's the interest in discussing a plain old blown call that didn't even effect the outcome of the game? There are **** calls in just about every game....it just so happens that this one was a little ****tier, and people were alot more interested in it for obvious reason, as it changed the ATS winner of the game.

OF COURSE YOU WERE SAYING IT WAS A FIX!! One of them even went as far as to say 66% of the money "legally wagered in vegas" was on the Steelers, lol. You just didn't have the balls....or were afraid ESPN would fire you.....A$$HOLE.

Why does the fact that people bet their own hard earned money on something, weather it be sports, horses, cards, slots, or whatever, have to be so ******* taboo in this country anyway? What the **** is wrong with the people in charge of this nation?

Yet at the same time gambling is ok, and it's fine for some little old lady to gamble away her last 20 bucks from her social security check if it benefits the state (lottery) or a church or other non profit organization (bingo/raffles).

******* idiots

The bottom line to me is the game was over! They scored it a TD.. Pittsburgh was winning 11-10 they score the TD 17-10 game over either way! Here is why this smells to me... the game was over Pittsburgh won bottom line. The call would have never effect the game in anyway because it was over. Everyone was leaving the field. I would investigate who decided to review the play and why. Now you spend 10 minutes reviewing the play and rule it a TD everyone runs off the field and than you come back on and say oh it didn't count! It didn't matter to no one other than Vegas! The game was fixed... you can not change my mind about that. Now throw in the fact Pittsburgh scored a TD prior to that to only get it called back on a holding penalties! If you watch every play the offensive line is holding that is what the offensive lines does. This game smells to no end!

Don't forget the PI call that got SD their only touchdown. That was a horse**** call, and should have thrown up a red flag from the start.

?? I know

I know it sucked for everyone who played PITT -5. Truth is you are right, it may have been rigged but what about the people who made the right pick of San Diego. I compare it to a team in bball down by like 15 with a minute left and continues to foul pushing the score up, even though they have no chance to win. Most people would of taken a knee and ended the game, put polomalu decided the run it in. It sucks on both parts because Pittsburg had no chance to cover the five points and all of you who bet pitt knew this, they were down in the last minute. Most of you who bet pitt already had in sown in your mind that they wouldnt cover so dont act like pitt was up the whole game and then they gave a fluke win touch down to make san diego cover. I remember one time I bet a line that spurs would win by 15-18 points, they were up by 16 with 15 seconds left and the shot clock off yet Nazi Mohammed thought he should shoot a three and hits it. There was no point in taking this shot yet he does. I lost a potential 300 bucks on that line. It happens and I feel for the pitt fans they should grade the wager no action and return everyones money. As a matter of fact just last week Lakers played the Pistons and I bet the under, Lakers were down by 15 with like 2 mins left yet they continued to foul up until 3.5 seconds left in the game, there of course was no mother f-ing point but to screw bettors out. Simple and true Pitt bettors are right yall got screwed, but if you had won san diego would have gotten screwed with a bs suck out.

You can't compare those events to this! This had to do with the officials. This isn't about a back door cover and getting moosed! This is total different because it involves the officials and the hirer ups! The game was over he scored a touchdown game over no time on the clock. Regardless 11-10 17-10 Pittsburgh still won the game. There was no reason for what took place after that touch down! I'm sorry....None!

Mistake in Steelers game costs some bettors big
Monday November 17, 3:30 pm ET

Up 1 minute, down the next, officials cost some bettors a bunch of money

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers walked off the field Sunday just happy they had won.

A lot of bettors in this gambling city were more concerned by how many points they ended up winning by.

Winners turned into losers and losers ended up winning when a game that should have ended up 17-10 or 18-10 instead went into the record books as the first 11-10 final in NFL history. Though the score made no difference in the win and loss column, it did in the wallets of a lot of bettors on the Las Vegas Strip.

"Anyone who had a bet on the Pittsburgh side and thought they had won weren't too happy," said John Avello, director of the race and sports book at the Wynn resort.

A mistake by the officials on the final play of the game between the Steelers and San Diego Chargers didn't alter the outcome. But it did mean bettors who thought they had won money on the game actually lost, while those who thought they had lost ended up winning.

The Steelers were favored by 4 points, meaning the apparent touchdown scored by the Steelers' Troy Polamalu on the last play of the game made the difference between Pittsburgh covering the point spread or not. When the touchdown was disallowed, Pittsburgh bettors who thought they had won on a fluke on the last play were left holding worthless tickets.

Avello said there might have been $10 million bet on the game statewide, and many times more than that in illegal bets around the country and in offshore Internet betting sites. There was more money bet on Pittsburgh, he said, especially in parlay bets.

Though the officials later said they made a mistake in calling back the touchdown, the official score remains 11-10, and even if the NFL changes it, Nevada sports books paid off on the final score from Sunday.

Made a mistake yeah sorry we made a mistake! Well we had it correct the first two times but what the hell lets justs reverse it and say sorry later!:puke:

Utt-o Lucy someone don't look to happy about that TD!



BE HAPPY MAN YOU JUST WON THE GAME...........

Utt-o Lucy someone don't look to happy about that TD!



BE HAPPY MAN YOU JUST WON THE GAME...........

I'd like to see those within the context of what was going on, on the field. They could have came after they said "no TD." I'm not discounting ya Billy, just would like to get some perspective on them.


And I still think that PI call to let SD get their first TD threw up the red flag with me.
