Do you think they should have replayed when the flag was thrown ?

Who cares about the Steelers, tomorrow is what's important!
Texas by 2 touchdowns.
They couldn't handle Texas last year in Columbus, they don't even sniff them in Austin.
Colt McCoy proved last week that he can hang on to the football well enough to allow the running game and the defense to win games.
Ohio State proved last week that their defense can't stop the running game, even against Northern Illinois.
It's still summertime in Austin. Jamaal Charles runs all over the Buckeye defense and Troy Smith melts in the heat.
I-35 North should be pretty empty at halftime so the Buckeye fans shouldn't hit much traffic getting an early start out of my state.
Hook'em !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's funny. Nobody seems to want to mention the first obvious pass interference call that made the Steelers have to punt which, in turn, was a great return to set up the easy Dolphins score. Then the hit on Batch by Thomas while he was sliding past the first down marker-should have been a late hit (maybe a little iffy). Being a big Steelers fan, I agree that Miller wasn't in and I am 99.95% sure that we would have gotten in anyways even if it was overturned (I allow .05% for the possibility of another bad snap LOL). Saban took too friggin long to throw the flag and/or alert the officials and it isn't the officials job to make sure they are looking in the direction of the opposing coach in the event that he MIGHT want a replay-maybe Saban will learn next time. Wasn't an impressive game overall but it had some great moments toward the end and it allows the Steelers a little more breathing room to work Ben back in the offense now that Charlie has won this won and he had good numbers as well.

Hard to say, yeah ther should be a replay IF the ref sees it. Saban should therefor throw it so the ref should see it, espically when they delayed the Extra Point so the flag could be thrown.
Also look at the Steelers motivation if it is put on the one. Ok Batch screwed up the last time they were there. Although it wasn't really a clean exchange it still motivates him to make SURE it doesn't happen again. Next remember the 4th and 1, so we KNOW they could get the one. Everyone KNEW they were running weak side, but what can you do. You can't cover the weak or they will run strong, either way you see the 1 yard. So it would have been a TD.

no I don't. It was just another Ref game. I can't wait until the day I see the Ref go against the Steelers. I will laugh at all you steelers fans and I will also say, How do you like it. I am not a steelers fan or a dolphin fan but I would like to watch a fair game and that game wasn't fair at all.
The interference that they call on the dolphin was wrong. It was the steelers WR that hook is his arm. I thought there is a rule that all TD are look at by the people upstair. What happen to this. I seen pentallies on both side. But the steelers was only call 1 time for 10 yards.

It was a fair win. Chances are they would have gotten atleast a field goal out of that had the play been challenged and more likely a touchdown on one of the next plays. So the game would have been tied at the least. Then on the Dolphins next possession, Porter returned an interception for a TD. They would have had the lead anyhow, but that just added to it. Then a few plays later, another interception. So the win was fair even if Miller wouldn't have scored a TD

they should have deffinitely replayed that. Now all I'm going to hear is that the steelers "stole" their win. A win is great, but I know I'd rather have my team win fair and square, without *help* from the refs. I do think that was the motivation behind their next touch down though... (i.e. couldn't have the game end and them win on a technicality..... they're superbowl champs... :-)
I do have to say however, that the dolphin's coach should take lessons from Cower, no more of those bit ch throws... throw it like you mean it!!!!

The refs were playing their usual game. They missed that interference call on the pass to Wilson & Mia. offensive line looked like a bunch of wrestlers, but didn't get very many holding calls. Too bad Saban's got a little girl's arm. He's got nobody to blame but himself. He coulda thrown that flag right in front of that ref, but flipped it in way behind him. Where did he think the guy's eyes were? The Steelers shoulda had at least two more TD's.

Saban shouldn't have pusy-footed with that red flag. He threw it BEHIND the ref!!! Sheeet man, you gotta throw it right in the middle of the field! Or hit the ref in the head with it!
Also, they would have had 4 chances from 1 yard out to score. Odds are in their favor that they come away with 7 anyway and burn up more clock. It was a bad decision to throw the flag in the first place.

The win was fair. The NFL refs are so incompetant and have their favorites going in to the game to begin with. That said, every team will get screwed, so it all evens out.
If Saban had an arm, we would've had to wait an extra 5 minutes for Pittsburgh to score and the final score would have been the same.

I am probably not the one to ask, I am a Seahawk fan and I didn't think that the Steelers' Super Bowl win was fair. So I am probably pretty prejudiced against them this year anyway. I didn't watch all of last nights game either. But in the NFL, a win is a win.
