    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.
    And you were watching on TV where you had a very wide side on view, I am not sure which official threw the flag but I can say for certain they would not have been level with it, the fact it was also only a 1 yard pass would make it even more difficult!

    The official was right behind the receiver looking acroos the line - it was a brutal call - and not the first wrong call in the game.

    Let's hope for no more mistakes from the officials and the game is won on merit.

    Balls of steel. Though i worry we're settling for too many FGs and it could kill us in the end

    Ah FFS you don't know what you're on about...there was NO flag thrown, the play was whistled dead. The Line Judge was on the sideline and he was the one who blew it dead. His job is to check things like lateral passes. He made a balls of it and the end result was instead of a Broncos turnover, it ended up being a Steeler TD. Therefore, crap officiating!

    this is great stuff....

    I see a few Div 5 legends in the mix....

    Go Tebow

    Ha Division 5 4 LIFE.

    Great game so far.

    Good run there. They'll surely score on this drive. Sets up an interesting few minutes.

    I meant whistle, same thing really as I was talking about the official who made the call!

    Tide really beginning to turn now. Not anything even remotely resembling a stop from us

    Bet on the Broncos and Tebow to score before the game. Hopefully the score stays the way it is.

    The Broncos D has been immense this year, I really hope that having to push themselves past the limit week in week out to keep games close for their not exactly brilliant qb doesnt mean they will run out of gas now, next game would be preferable of course

    The penalty caused that. WHen Steelers get the ball back I can see a TD so Bronco's need at least a FG here and eat up loads of time, AT LEAST!

    I know but my spiritual home will always be division 5. It's the true ground roots level of football. No egos just a pure love of the game :pac:.

    You never know I could be back the following season.
