You've mentioned the Bettis fumble and the interception again but the Faneca no call is still the biggest play because unlike all the other incidents that's the only one that took time off the clock.

Personally I see it has even, refs messed up ran valuable time off the clock when the Colts were supposed to get the ball back with. On the other hand the refs messed up a call for the Steelers that was potentially game ending. Steelers caught a huge break,Colts caught a huge break.

And you're right, when you're at home things will go your way more that's why everybody want's homefield in the playoffs and that's why during the season 9 out of 10 times the home team is the favorite. Early timeouts,false starts,a call here and there,momentum from the crowd...all of those things are completely expected to happen only in this case,some in the past and undoubtly still to come in the future a couple big calls were screwed up.

I know how important momentum is and like I said before, game's over when the clock reads 0:00. You don't just play well for 15,30,45 or 59 minutes, you have to play well the entire game. I don't care who's home and away, how good or bad the teams are, if you're winning with an even minute left and you somehow end up on the losing end unless the refs are making bad call after bad call(see that I'm saying bad calls and not just calls because if a team is moved down the field for the most part due to sloppy play by the other team than that's their fault.) you deserve to lose because you didn't want it more.

I'm well aware that football is emotional, well aware of the importance of momentum and well aware of what goes through their heart and mind. The only way something can deflate you is if you let it.
