Loved that play! lol

Great point, that was about as blatant a hold as you can get on a critical play. I'm also a big hypocrite for as often as I complain about the refs in our games but it felt good to be on the winning side of an obvious no-call lol. I was watching the game with a bunch of squeelers fans though and it didn't stop me from drawing my own penalty for excessive celebration!

It Really wasnt as blatant as Steelers fans seem to believe, also technically it shouldve never came down to that play in the first place because of another botched call by the refs that went against us in that game:

on 3rd and goal from inside the 5, Hines Ward has his hand inside Brian Williams facemask trying to get some bush league seperation and somehow someway the refs inexplicably call a facemask penalty on Brian Williams even though he's the one who was having his facemask jerked around. so instead of the steelers settling for a FG attempt they get a new set of downs at our 1 yard line and punch the ball in for a score. IIRC before the Garrard 4th and 2 scramble drive we were down by 1 point. If the horrendous call by the refs never happens, then we have the ball with a 3 point lead and never even need to go for it on that 4th down.

In hindsight I still think it was a good no call as it seemed Harrison was trying to flop to draw a hold, if the refs hadn't screwed the Jags with a terrible call earlier that situation never happens and we're not discussing this.
