In all seriousness, the 49ers had more than enough opportunity to make up for that one play/call. I attribute this victory to holding Gore to under 50 yards and the Steelers secondary finally stepping up :goodjob:

How did you see it differently?

I sided with the officials :D

Yeah, even though they were wrong. I guess that is the difference between you and I. I side with the right call, whether it hurts or helps my team.

Nah that's not it at all. I agreed that he didn't maintain control. There was quite a bit of movement before he hit the ground. It was the same as a receiver catching a pass on the edge of the sideline before going out of bounds. If he doesn't establish control of the ball it's ruled an incompletion. I do feel it was a very close call but, I do understand why they ruled as they did. Not to say that I wouldn't have been upset had the play worked in San Fran's favor but, as fans of the game, we see/deal with/endure close calls every week. As a Steeler fan, I was upset that it even came down to a call because our defense should have kept them out of the Red Zone.

...but...as previously stated, the 49ers had more than enough time & opportunity to make up for that one call.
