The Bettis Fumble
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
Probably the most important tackle in Steeler (maybe NFL) history and by a QB of all people. For some reason, that stands out more in my mind than the "Immaculate Reception".
1) I clearly remember Ben being gifted a SB TD even though the football he was carrying was visibly short of the end zone line.
2) I clearly remember that a very visible blocking from behind penalty by 'cheap shot' Harrison's teammate was conveniently not called on his 'dick-six'.
3) But I most vividly remember that Santonio Holmes NEVER did have both feet in the end zone at any point of time when the football was in his possession. The toe of his one shoe resting upon the heal of his other does not equal two feet in the field of play.
And I dare anyone to provide a video or a photo that clearly shows possession of the football with both feet touching the end zone turf simultaneously. Does not exost, because it never happened.
Clearly some teams and some players are favored by officials
LOL..
One of the Most watched..reviewed talked about video replays in the last 25 years..but you saw it the other way...I knew the conspiracy angle would show up sooner or later..
Yup Steelers paid off the Refs...Lineman..cameramen..replayguys in the booth.(and in NEW YORK)
And David Tyree catch wasn't Legit...the ball did touch the turf...
And Brady did fumble and Stabler tried to pass!!

My memories of the worst fumbles ever are:
1. The Browns’ Earnest Byner‘s fumbling against the Broncos in the 1987 AFC Championship game;
2. The 1978 game where Joe Pisarcek, Giants QB, fumbled a handoff to Larry Csonka which was run back for a TD by the Eagles’ Herman Edwards blowing a 5-point lead at the end of the game. Forever afterwards, QB’s took a knee at the end of games like that, except for…
3. Whatever the fuck it was that happened last week when the Jacobi Meyers of the Pats made that ridiculous lateral at the end of the game. Not technically a fumble but still…wtf?
