The tuck rule is in the rule book, a ref can't just make up any call he wants. The reason officials get tighter and you may here some rules or see some calls you haven't heard or seen made around playoff time is because it's the fucking playoffs to decide who's going to play in the Super Bowl to become the champions. When something goes down they look at it very carefully, and examine the rules to make sure they make the right call which is what they do about 98% of the time, nobody's perfect so naturally they're going to miss a couple. Same goes for the football move, it's a rule which has to be enforced.
Catches don't have that much grey area....both feet down,ball isn't moving and/or if the reciever is forced out of the endzone then it's a touchdown. Don't have both feet down,balls moving, ball is knocked loose before possession is established and held for 2 seconds and/or 2 steps(which is now know as a football move) then there's no catch.
Of course games can be decided by a big turnover or big play, that's part of the game. This is the playoffs every team in them is good if not great, the games are expected to be good/close and sometimes watching NFL live,Sportscenter or pre-game shows ect. You even here alot that a game may come down do turnovers and who takes care of the ball more. It doesn't mean that you didn't win convincingly or you didn't prove yourself(or however you want to say it), it just means that one particular team played hard and cause the turnover or big play, that's what you do on defense...try and shut the offense down and if possible create a turnover and on offense....try your best to put points on the board. Big turnovers are the result of a hard working defense and big plays are the results of a hard working offense/special tems unit, it's a part of the game.
Another comment about this statement "its like a wins not a win unless you convincingly kick another teams ass"....
Games not over until it's over.... over doesn't mean when one team has played better, over doesn't mean a team has a 2,3 or however many touchdown lead, over means the clock reads 0:00. If a team can't close than it's their problem, why do you think the Chargers aren't in the playoffs? cause they couldn't close out games early and midway through the season. If a team dominates the entire game and loses it in the last minutes then they deserved to lose because it mean they either layed back and got content and/or just didn't want it enough to close it out.
"friggin asswhooping that almost went to overtime(where im sure indy woulda won)and a horrible call led to that possibility"
Like I said if a team can't close that's their problem, so had it gone into overtime and resulted in a Colts victory after Steeler dominance through 3 and a half quarters then the Steelers would've deserved to lose. As for the call I've said it twice already but here's goes one more time...The series before that Faneca moved on 4th and inches and wasn't called for it, that play would've made it 4th and 5 or 6. Bill Cowher IS NOT going for it on 4th and 5, they would've punted back to the Colts who's offense was up and running(which is why Cowher decided to go on 4th and inches in the first place) with an additional 3 minutes or so left on the clock. That was a much bigger play than the ''interception''.
