the roughing the passer play was defintiely IG, they showed a replay on Nfl network that confirmed.

Even the ESPN crew was complaining about calling a roughing the holder,

Hey since Peirerra is retiring Im sure the NFL could get this bulletin board to be its new CYA VP of officiating!!!

You are honestly quoting or referencing media people? The same people that think there should not be a roughing the holder call and a player that got run over?

Dude, do you have a girlfriend yet?

Probably too busy watching NFL games, trolling officiating forums and playing World of Warcraft.

the media is the last place to cite for possible officiating errors. most of them have degrees (you hope, some of them i'm not so sure) in journalism, most probably didn't play sports past middle school and most of them have definitely never referee'd a game in any sport, and probably don't know half of the rules in said sports. they're writers who investigate and write a story for people to read. just because they cover a sport doesn't mean they necessarily understand the sport. how many journalists do you think covered the super bowl last night? how many of those journalists do you think have actually played a down of football in their life? i'll take a journalist's advice on whether or not a word is a verb or a noun, not if a call is a fumble or an incomplete pass.

No we actually know how to call the game and have done so for real, not from just our couch.

Get over it, the game is over. Arizona lost the game. They could have stopped the Steelers in the last two minutes and they would have won. I guess the officials did not tackle very well.
