Hochuli dodged a bullet, if that Baltimore FG had been good he would have been in trouble. In the final 2:00 of the second or fourth quarters you cannot advance a fumble unless you recover it. The ball should have been spotted at around the 42 yard line where Flacco revocerd it. I understand that with no Balt timeouts and running their FG unit on but someone on the crew should have realized it or the replay official should have buzzed down and had Hochuli change the spot.
But Pittsburgh would have been mad if the officials stopped play to allow Baltimore more time to get their FG team on the field. It seems like refs get blamed for everything these days. Everyone needs an excuse if they lose a game. Sure the officials make a mistake here and there but overall they do a very good job. I wish the posters on here would quit bashing the officials so much.
Thnk youjames.

I was not bashing the officials. If the officials did stop it and get the call right I think Baltimore would have gone for it and not tried a 60 yard FG.
Ryan is right. I cover this team on a regular basis and I don’t think they would have trusted Cundiff with a 59- or 60-yard field goal. I’m not bashing here, but I did point out their mistake in my game story: http://www.pressboxonline.com “Ravens Report” link…
Keep up the healthy dialogue, gang:

Hochuli’s crew usually calls a tight game, and I’m surprised the fumble rule got by them.
I have a report on what the last 15 seconds of regulation were for the officials, and, yes, I agree that an official’s timeout to spot the ball *could* have given the kicker the ability to kick it 7 yards further.
