I remember feeling a bit pissed when GJ was clearly in the endzone for the TD and Polamalu really pushed GJ hard to the ground(in the endzone mind you).

Greg didn't have possession when he got hit. If a receiver is standing in the endzone, is it illegal to make contact? I say it was a good football move and a hell of a job by Jennings to hold onto that ball, especially since it looked like he lost it for a split second, hauled it in, then got pounded.

I don't think so, considering it happens all the time, even in situations where it's clearly unnecessary.

Not to reignite the run vs. pass debate, but I do think this article may inadvertently offer an explanation for why the Packers were so pass-happy: the spread formations forced Polamalu to play coverage. He got so frustrated that he was biting on fakes and kind of got lost out there.

Well, the article covered one of the reasons I've been saying over and over again that to beat the Steelers, pass, pass, then pass again. We turned Troy P from the best defender in the NFL into a non-issue by Aaron simply driving Troy P nuts.

Good find, Greg

while there are some flags thrown in the endzone I think refs are more willing to let them play.
