Questionable Calls Superbowl 43

[fljet]

Here are some of my questionable calls of the game, Im waiting on you guys to defend your boys like usual but oh well I know that game was a joke to most average fans who wanted to see a good game on this national holiday of sorts.

please explain to me why Harrison was flagged, and not thrown out of the game, when his actions were absolutely flagrant obviously the offical that threw the flag saw the activity.

So thats #1

#2 Roughing the passer on Arizona was within the normal tolerance, and there was no flagrant contact. Also roethlisberger appeared to be in the pocket and threw the ball away, intentional grounding was never considered and NBC never showed a replay but the ball landed and no players from either team were within 7 yards of it.

#3 Roughing the placeholder was uneccessary, you could see Wilson pull up and he barely made contact. Im sorry but you dont throw that flag in a superbowl game, maybe in the reg. season, maybe never.

#4 Block in the back on Colon on the 2nd Pittsburg drive which enabled Rothelisberger to convert on 3 and 10 to Heath Miller.

#5 Holding on the 100 yard return by #26 I dont think anyone saw it, but he grabbed Warners jersey sleeve and redirected him. Close!!

Bottom line I thought the officials had a below all-star performance, and I think this the NFL is rigged for ratings!!

The holder was flattened. You're a moron.

you could see Wilson pull up, his stumbling momentum took him into the holder, if it was flagrant he would have "layed the wood"

In 23 years of watching multiple NFL games per week, I have never seen that call

That's cause NFL players don't hit the holder. Pulling up has nothing to do with it. The holder is completely vulnerable.

Ok explain the Lebron James impersonation, using the ball as a prop = 15 yards

I have no idea why this wasn't called. I mentioned it to my wife when it happened, saying "he's going to get flagged for this" and he didn't. You have a, IMO, valid point there.

You do not see it happen because players are usually smart enough to not run into a holder.

You do not have to hit someone in a flagrant way to have a penalty. Try again.

Peace

Doesn't matter that he 'pulled up' as you put it. The holder is in a vulnerable position and can not be touched. Period.

Now define an expert:
an "ex" is a has been and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure

If you added fljet and zm1234's ages together, you wouldn't get 24.
