The Raiders should have won that game.
The Ref blew that replay call in my opinion. Even though at first the arm was going foward, he pulled up and was holding the ball down at his side when the ball was kocked loose.
Oh well.
Go Steelers!!!
(I am a Giants fan, so I really don't care who wins the SuperBowl but the Steelers and Rams would be the better game or Steelers-Eagles)

Ugh...I hate the f*ckin Rams! But hey, the Steelers game is in the 2nd quarter now and I couln't be happier 😀 (don't like the Ravens either). I'm still a little bitter about my team's ONE AND FIFTEEN SEASON! *ahem* I don't know if it's the same or not, but to have possesion of the football when receiving a pass the receiver must have control of the ball and make one football move. That means go forward, juke, whatever. After pump-faking the ball, Brady didn't make any move at all, and was hit immediately afterward. If the ball falls out because of a pump fake, it's still ruled an incomplete pass, so I definately think it was right to overturn the play.
I think the refs blew the play in the raiders/patriots game.
1....Brady was already tucking the ball in when he was hit.
2....The play was ruled a fumble on the field.In my opinion,there was absolutely no clear evidence,as the rules require,to overturn the call on the field.
3....The noncall on Brady stiking out his leg to trip the raider player going after the ball.Tripping carries a 15 yard penalty,and from the angle of the ref looking at the play,he should have seen it as easily as i did.
It doesn't break my heart to see Al Davis take a screwing though.I just have more concern about other games being comprimised by bad officiating.
Anyway,Patriots/Steelers on Jan.27....will be there unless a serious calamity arises.
GO STEELERS

It appeared to me that he didn't tuck the ball, but was done pump-faking. If the ball wasn't forced out, it would be ruled an incomplete pass.
I agree with you on this one, I think that they should've stuck with whatever they ruled on the field, as there was not enough evidence to clearly judge the play one way or another.
I didn't see that, I mean I watched the play, but I didn't see any tripping. If tripping does occur, the ref has to determine it intentional. I mean, not only does that happen often in the trenches, but...dude...they could barely get their footing anyway, seeing as how it was snowing so much.
Anyways, I am totally undecided about the AFC Championship game, but i do hope that whoever wins beats the NFC Champion in the superbowl. *mutters something about the Rams and Eagles*
we may be saying the same thing
I didn't say the ball was tucked....it was being tucked and was forced out by the hit.And since the pump fake was done,it should have been a fumble.
As for the tripping, Grady's leg was straight out as the raider player passed and fell,and was still straight out and stiffly elevated after the raider player was falling toward the ball.People don't normally fall with one leg straght out,elevated around knee level,and maintain it there after someone runs through it.
But no matter,it's history now.Every team in the league has lost games
or been put in that position by bad calls or noncalls.Here's hoping it doesn't happen for the rest of this year,and the NFL does something substantial to correct the problem.It's been ongoing and getting worse as time goes by.

I hate having afterthoughts.
As far as the trip again,if it is decided that the trip was unintentional,then the flag can be "picked back up".It's been done before,and a simple explanation usually will suffice,especially since it would have been in the home team's favor.

My Two Cents
I think the refs did blow the eagles/raiders call mainly for the reason that if there is no irrefutable evidence to indicate a call was bad then it should not be overturned especially in a playoff game.
I don't think it much matters in the long run because I think the Steelers would have beat the Raiders just as the Steelers I think will beat the Patriots.
I hope the Eagles beat the Rams although that will be tough. The Eagles do have a tough defense, much better than the Packers, so they have a shot if they can pressure Warner a lot.
