Call me homer if you must, but that WAS a fumble. In order to be an incomplete pass, the QB must have FULL AND COMPLETE control of the ball during the forward motion. This was a classic example of the "empty hand". Warner had no control over the ball when the arm came forward, thus the ruling of a fumble. Correct call.
Terrible perception, however. According to all sources, the replay official looked at the replay, upheld the call of fumble, thus no review on the field. Even though the play was looked at in the booth, us poor saps didn't know it, so it looked like it was ignored. NFL better do something with the perception of the officials, which is piss poor at this point.

That particular play looked more like a pass then the one they called a pass earlier in the game.

Eh, I think they got both calls right. First one, ball in hand, arm going forward, pass. Second one, ball touching wrist, arm going forward, fumble. Don't think it really mattered, but it was a hell of a game nonetheless.

Agree.

I think the hit happened when his arm was going back... but the ball didn't come out until his hand was comming forward.

but the BS was the fact that the booth didn't request a review. the field judge cannot go under the hood unless the booth says it's close... how the fuck was that not close.

like I said... IMO the ruling would have been over turned....

now here's where it get's interesting.... had it been over turned... there would have been a 15yard unsportsman like penilty for ol' dude take'n off his helmet. that would have put the Cards at the 29 yard line... with a couple seconds left!!!

not that I'm saying the Cards were robbed... they had their chance... their defence couldnt stop Pitsburgh from score'n with under 2min...

but it'd have been interesting
