Opening Up An Old Wound: Something I Just Noticed About Harrison's INT Return

[NJCardFan]

Late in the runback, we all know Fitz is hustling down the sideline and was slowed up by Rolle but caught up to Harrison a split second too late. However, Breaston also had a bead on Harrison and caught Harrison at the same time Fitz did. Had Fitz not been there, Breaston would have blasted Harrison out of bounds at about the 3 yard line but he and Fitz hit Harrison at the same time keeping Harrison upright and in bounds enough to pick up about 2 yards before being dragged down and scoring by the length of a blade of grass. I know, 10 years and I still can't let this go.

But just think instead of the chance we could have our very own Marvin Lewis.....

:eyeroll:

It's hard not to dwell on these things that seem like they would have made all the difference. But, as much as I think he shouldn't have scored, one just can't assume the whole second half would have transpired the way that it did if the score was 7 points different. It's safe to say that not everything else would have happened the way that it did so that one play really didn't decide the game.

Had it been the last play of the game rather than the last play of the half it would be a lot different story.

Personally I still think the Steelers winning TD was incomplete.

He had one foot braced above the other, meaning one foot was a couple of inches above the turf and never hit. Thus he only dragged one toe.

One toe = one foot in bounds = incomplete.

Picture below is what his two feet were similarly like. Not quite that much gap, but still a crossed at the ankles and only one toe hit down while the other one was a couple inches off the ground.

I just dream that this game ended with 2:37 remaining on the clock!

Antrelle Rolle getting in Fitz's way on the sidelines was also a killer. Bastard

 

[WisconsinCard]

The fact that his knee landed on Fitz's foot was a miracle in and of itself. Our seats were so close to that play that my son even told me before the replay that his knee landed on Larry's foot and so it was a TD.

Worth noting: I was at the game and sat where I had a prime view of both the killer INT and Holmes catch. Barf.

I have no intention of watching any replays from this game until we win a Super Bowl.

To this day, I am bothered anytime I notice my watch or a clock and the time reads 2:37.

Oh, FFS...on my phone a couple of minutes ago:

What still pisses me off is that there were 3 missed blocks to the back on Harrison’s return.

 

[ARZCardinals]

There was also a clear block in the back on our player when he was headed to Harrison at around the 15.
I was at the game and we were yelling about the block in the back, but the refs were running down the field and they had no time to survey the field.

I also saw the toes on top of the foot...and we were yelling again, but to no avail.

O well....move on people move on.

How do you think we feel? We had to stop going to road games completely after the Super Bowl (leading with 2:37 on the clock) and the Titans' game at LP Field the following season (leading with 2:37 on the clock)...

Like they needed to be lucky too! No way should they have stealed that game!

10 yrs. later, we're still multiple yrs. out.

Dog gone it, we was at that game too.

Agreed the only person on the field that could beat us was Santonio Holmes and we had San Francisco covering him not once but all the way down the field.

Damn it!
