I think it had a direct result in the game. Heck the Steelers had one drive that led to points continued by 3 personnel fouls. One of which was the weakest roughing the passer calls I have ever seen.

I agree. I think they may have been a touch jaded towards the $tealer$, but not that much. Those crippling offensive holding calls that really did the Cards in were legit.

This was nothing like the raping the Seahawks got.

Tickytack roughing the passer against the cards and then on no less than 5 occasions I see Warner getting his ass clocked.

Holding calls were excessive. Harrison fell down on purpose to get the flags.

Facemask coulda gone against Steelers.

Tons of others I can't remember. All in all, 5-1 ratio in calls. So yeah, it made a difference.

Play of the game was last play of half though. That was the play that won the game. 14 point swing.

Oh did I mention I HATE the FUGGIN STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its pretty clear.

I'm not sure how the offsetting penalties would have worked though. Keep in mind, that Arizona was called for a penalty on that play as well.

I disagree. He got pushed on the shoulder. That's not in the back. I really am shocked at how many people think the Cards got jobbed out of the game.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that the people that think the Cards got screwed were people that were rooting for Arizona, had money riding on Arizona, or both.

:rolleyes:

Not sure what difference the latter would make since Pittsburgh didn't cover.

Not everyone bets the spread.

Matter of fact, I'd bet most casual fans had no idea what the spread was.

That idiotic interception return for a touchdown affected the outcome.

Though I was very unhappy with the refs, in the end, I think it all evened out. I still question that last play with Warner but even if they get the ball back it doesn't mean anything would have changed. Could have changed, we will never know now. It was a hell of a game either way though.

No, the idiotic blocking on that play affected the outcome.
