    The throw that Ben made to Mendenhall that resulted in a touchdown how is that considerable a lateral/run play? It wasnt a backwards pass. Why wasnt that considered a TD pass? I have watched that play over and over and over. Ben releases the ball at about the 21 1/2 yard line and Mendenhall catches the ball at the 21 yard line( just a tad ahead of Ben). What am I missing here?
    Ben was rewarded with a TD a couple weeks ago when he threw a perfect pass to AB and he fumbled into the endzone. Ben was credited with a TD pass. It should have been a fumble recovered for a TD for brown. This pass was CLEARLY behind the LOS of scrimmage and obvious why it wasnt a TD. What are you guys watching?

      ????Ben was credited with a TD pass.----

      Are you sure about that? Where did you see that?

      I think I recall reading or hearing about how these games are reviewed by some oufit called the Elias Sports Bureau or something like that.

      Anyhow for official records purposes yardage gained by runners and other stats are carefully reviewed and made official by the league.

      If Ben was credited with a TD on the pass to AB then it must have been ruled [as I was very sure when I watched the play] that AB broke the plain of the goal line with the ball in his possession. Everything that happened after, the fumble, the recovery etc was irrelevant.

      ????The LoS has nothing to do with determining if a pass is a lateral or not. If it goes backwards it's a lateral period. That did not look like it went backwards. But, if they rule it as one officially, then Mendy ran it in for a TD. Otherwise it becomes a TD pass.

        Watching replays it looked to me like Ben threw the pass directly across the field which I think is considered a lateral. A 'forward pass' has to go forward (hence the name) so I think that is why it counts as a running play.
        As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

        but Go Steelers!!!

          Mendenhall’s touchdown changed to TD Reception

          Posted by Teresa Varley on October 10, 2012 – 3:02 pm


          Rashard Mendenhall’s 13-yard touchdown run against the Philadelphia Eagles has been changed to a touchdown reception. As a result, Ben Roethlisberger finished 22-for-38 for 220 yards and one touchdown. Mendenhall rushed for 68 yards on 13 carries.

                  hawaiian, you don't think the NFL doesn't monitor this board? After all it has to be one of the biggest sources for complaints against Goodell.

                    we should all be more careful in that case, I would hate to get James Harrison suspended and fined for things we say on this board...

                      6 hours ago - The Elias Sports Bureau issued a stat change on Wednesday, awarding a 13-yard touchdown pass to Ben Roethlisberger on what had been a touchdown run ...

                      As expected when this was called to their attention by Dee Dub.

                          I thought that Qbait is the commish already...

                            I'm sure Dee Dub, FF and Asian are feeling extremely flattered right now...
