    Jesus lads would ya relax! The ref blew the play dead as it was perceived as a forward incomplete pass, the same way they do it every time, no point not blowing the whistle just for the sake of it...leads to extra/unnecessary hits!

    Terrible call by the officials.

    Leaves the Steelers in it.

    Problem is that it was quite clearly not a forward pass, officials made a big mistake. Looks like the Steelers will score on this drive, could be a swing from a 3 score lead to a 1 score lead for the Broncos.

    Prob cause he wanted to know where the defender was so he could ensure he maintained control of the ball!

    It was ruled a forward pass and the whistle was rightly blown. I want Denver to win but this soccersque rubbish of criticising the referee is ridiculous. Thats the way the game is played, just be thankful there is a review system because it is something that a lot of people don't want.

    Think of it this way, the 'Stealers' really had to fight hard for that score!

    Youre a couple of yards from the line, with momentum, and you worry about the defender???

    Worked out in the end anyway

    Why isnt that reviewable is the real question? Same as the famous Hochuli call brought in a new rule on review, i expect this will too. Cant blame me for being pissed off tbh, instead of a 3 score advantage the Steelers are certainly going to win now.

    How do you think they are going to win when they are a score down?

    Its a flaw in the system and it will be dealt with in the offseason for sure.

    The referee shouldn't have thought it was a forward pass. Also, why just be thankful that there is a review system? They weren't able to review a bad call just there.

    But it wasn't a forward pass so how could the whistle be rightly blown??...it was clearly a backwards pass and as such the ball was live the second it left Ben's hand and should not have been blown dead. I could see it watching on TV yet the official standing only yards away blatantly missed it.

    realistically if tebow is to make it as a SB winning QB, he needs to move outa denver in the next few months
