Steelers vs. Colts

More on the game later after I fully digest it. But I can't believe that Roethlisberger made that tackle. I can't believe that Harper basically ran right into him. I don't care how deeply his wife dug in the shiv last night, his knee had to be sound enough for him to outrace Roethlisberger down the sideline. Remember, there were no receivers on the field to chase him down. If he goes right there, no one catches him.

As for the instant replay reversal of the Polamalu interception, it was the right call. Maybe it's a bad rule, but the refs had no choice. It's like the tuck play a few years ago in the snow with Brady. Remember, this came into play last week in the Washington-Tampa Bay game to negate what would have been a game-tying TD catch in the final minutes. To understand it, I'll simplify as best I can. When you catch the ball on your way to the ground, you have to maintain possession the entire time you are on the ground. There's nothing about rolling around once or twice or 30 times even. Polamalu clearly knocked the ball out of his hands with one knee while the other knee was still on the ground after his catch. So, by rule, it must be ruled an incompletion. I understand fans not knowing it and even the announcers. But when you go back to the studio 40 minutes later and no one has bothered to investitgate and still classifies it as a bad call, it bothers me.
