| TEXT: One of the most exciting plays of this year’s playoffs should have been called back because of a holding penalty. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the NFL now acknowledges that Jaguars quarterback David Garrard’s 32-yard run on fourth-and-2 late in Jacksonville’s playoff win over the Steelers was aided by a block that should have been flagged for holding. Per Bouchette, VP of Officiating Mike Pereira admitted that the crew working the game erred in not calling a holding penalty against Jacksonville on the play, which set the Jaguars up for the winning field goal. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin declined to comment yesterday. Although the missed call was disappointing to Steelers fans, there are plenty of more flagrant holds that don’t get called, and that non-call was far from the only reason the Steelers lost. In fact, part of the reason Tomlin declined to comment may be that he realizes his own odd decision to call for Ben Roethlisberger to run up the middle on third-and-6 with 2:56 left in the game hurt the Steelers as much as the missed holding penalty. That quarterback sneak netted the Steelers one yard, and the punt on the next play put the Jaguars in position for the game-winning drive.

| Yeah, Well on their 4th and goal, The refs screwed up bigtime for calling pass interference on BW, and hines ward gets away with nearly breaking BW's neck through his face mask, But that doesn't need to be mentioned. 1 bad call on us, 1 bad call on them, Doesn't matter much, We won.
60% of the time, It works Everytime... |

Should have been called; I was at the stadium, and people were pissed! But I still haven't got over the time when they called it a "fumble" in '06 against the Pats, one of the final games of the season (second to last?), had a chance to get into the playoffs, and GARRARD'S ARM WAS CLEARLY GOING FORWARD. Incomplete pass. No, wait, let's let the Pats win it, FUMBLE!!

| | Hey I got an idea! Maybe the referee team noticed that the Pass Interference penalty against B. Williams on 4th and 1 that gave Pittsburgh a fresh set of Downs on the 1 yard line was a wrong call. You know, the one where H. Ward grabs Williams by the face mask and tried to pull him to the ground and Williams was called for the penalty. That might not have been the right call, but then again, I am a biased Jacksonville Homer. And maybe, juuuuuust maybe, that call that led directly to a TD for the lead for Pittsburgh might have swung the game in Pittsburgh's favor and the Referee, who is responsible for holding calls, might have thought that Jacksonville deserved just a little break seeing as how they had the game pretty much taken away from them by the officials just ~4 1/2 minutes earlier. But that's just me.
Go heavy early.

It was a hold. Should have been called
Absolutely. But as pointed out, it wasn't the only incorrect officiating decision in that game - as in pretty much any game there were some bad calls that went each way. |

| I guess this type of "news" is the most drama we can get get between Pacman arrests and 85 threads about 85. There were several bad calls or no calls in that game.

Don't forget 3-4 threads.
I always come to my conclusions by careful, scientific observation.
But only if the results of said careful, scientific observation fully corroborate my biased opinion. If It Ain't Dutch, It Ain't Much

| Apparently it's pick on J-ville day at PFT. The top two articles are about Williams going off on the cop and the no-call. Hataz!
