OK, how was that a safety in the Patriots/Pittsburgh game? Sometimes the blonde in me comes out, so explain it to me like I'm a 2 year old.
I'm comfuzzled
Partly because of the rules but partly because The NFL, once again, came to Pittsburgh's rescue and didn't call the penalty on Troy P. for smacking the ball forward. They didn't want to make it too obvious so they went with a safety instead.
I had to wiki safety rules and still didn't get it. I knew the sack, or an offensive holding penalty, but this was a new one on me!

Came to their rescue? They were up by 6 with 20 seconds left in the game on their own 20 yard line. The Patriots were the one's that needed rescuing.
Yeah but when it comes to contreversial calls (and I know New England has had it's share) the NFL always sides with Pittsburgh. If I'm correct, that would've given them 15 more yards and an automatic 1st down?

This was definitely a bad call. But count me among those who don't believe in conspiracy theories in the NFL. I think this league has some of the best refs in sports and puts its refs in positions to make correct calls. Not to say that they don't make mistakes, as is evidenced here, but as far as pro sports go, the NFL is top notch, IMHO.
I think the NFL in general has excellent refs. I do think some crews are prone to giving calls to the "favored" team. Note I do not think it has to do with any one team. It isn't an anti-Texan thing, it is just as stated a favored team them. I don't think they get together and favor the Steelers etc. per se.

When it comes to the Steelers and refs, I suffer from a severe case of confirmation bias. Something that happened in 1978 ....
I suspect the folks in Seattle do as well.
