what illegal forward pass? collins to the WR was legit....the WR flipping it back to the 2nd WR was legit.......the 2nd WR flipping it backwards to Polamaulou was legit.....some cocksucking thief in the replay booth had bet SD or was playing against a Pitt fantasy defense.
and dont be so jealous of the SEC.......some day some other conference will be as strong

Add to this the fact that the refs took away a TD before the field goal for holding, yes it was clearly holding but the type of holding that goes on on every play. This stinks to high heaven and will be discussed all week. Look for the league to issue its "Aw, we made a mistake" press release some time around Tuesday. There was absolutely no forward pass of any kind during the play!

Just as wildstrides points out, there could be a point differential involved in a tie breaker. Although unlikely to come into play, you never know.
These fucking cocksuckers that get away with fixxing these games need to be held accountable. I didn't have the Steelers minus the points, just the Pitt defense in fantasy, but sure feel like I got ass-raped by some dickhead in the review booth.
I would love to find out who the cocksucker is and post his God damned name all over the place.

norm, you're right I guess there are no challenges in the last 2 minutes. So Pitt couldn't do anything unless they asked for a rules interpretation and found something there.
But is it true that a play is dead as soon as there is an illegal forward lateral? And the other team can't advance it and decline the penalty?
If there is an illegal forward lateral and the refs see it, do they blow it dead and stop the play?

Wow...thought I stole one from the betting gods. I marked it as a win...only to see your post and find out it was a lost.
Luckily I didn't have money on it, but would have loved to be in a sports book and see all the reactions from both sides...bet that was a sight to see.
If anybody was there, I would love to hear a play-by-play on what you saw.

The refs are now admitting they blew it and the explanation is just as confusing.

"Green, in a postgame interview with a pool reporter, said that call was errant - even though his explanation for the confusion was almost as confusing as the play itself. ''We should have let the play go through in the end, yes,'' Green said. ''It was misinterpreted that instead of killing the play, we should have let the play go through.''
Green said the confusion occurred because there was a misunderstanding about whether Rivers' pass or Tomlinson's lateral was in question.
''The first pass was the one that was illegal, but it only kills the play if it hits the ground,'' Green said. ''That was incorrect to have killed it at that point. The ruling should have let the play go on. That's just the way that it played out. We believe the second pass (by Tomlinson) was legal.''
Green was asked why, since the first pass by Rivers did not hit the ground, the officials decided after huddling that the play should have ended there.
''We didn't kill it on the field,'' Green said. ''After (the) discussion we decided ... there was some confusion over which pass we were talking about and it was decided that it was the second pass that was illegal that did hit the ground and therefore we killed the play there.''
However, the officials realized afterward they erred.
''I know,'' Green said. ''The rule was misinterpreted.''
