Well I did state that that particular call was more questionable. Regardless, Davis clearly pushed off. Was it enough to warrent the call? If you go by the rules, the answer is most definately yes.

Oppressed by booze. And the Aussies are just stupid enough to get caught.

After a couple of seconds of thought, Waggoner granted the Pittsburgh request and erased Seattle’s hard-earned touchdown.

The Seahawks settled for a field goal. Had they not been robbed of the four points, they would have ended the game with the ball and the opportunity to drive for a game-tying touchdown."

So totally NOT true. My stance is that Darrell clearly pushed off at the last second to gain separation. It was evident the first time and it's evident now. It was a violation of the rules. It should have been called and it was - the SAME way that Randy Moss got called for it week 2 in Oakland against the Chiefs, only that was more questioanble. The same way that Tony G. gets called for it at least a couple of times a season. Now should it have been called in the biggest game of the year? Yes. Now move on to the legitimate blown calls.

I also thought that Ben did indeed break the plane of the goal line right before he got hit. However, I did not agree with Hassleback's 15 yard penality for blocking below the knees because he was indeed trying to make a tackle.
