The Super Bowl XLIII Zebra Report

FanHouse's resident referee will chime in quasi-weekly with thoughts on major topics relating to officiating. We call it The Zebra Report. Matt Snyder is a high school official with eight years experience. While this is like a third-year resident critiquing the work of a world-renowned surgeon, it's still better than someone who has never worn the stripes.

First of all, congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was one hell of a Super Bowl with a dramatic ending. The first thing I want to say about the officiating is that I believe it was a very well officiated game. We'll delve right into the alleged controversial calls and sort things out.

A Zebra Report Special: Analyzing the Super Bowl Officiating Crew

The identity of the officiating crew calling the big game this Sunday was leaked last week. The referee is Terry McAulay. This is McAulay's 11th season as an NFL official, and this will mark his second Super Bowl, after he worked the Eagles/Pats game in 2005.

McAulay was the referee of the AFC playoff game between the Titans and the Ravens this season, the "non-delay of game" game in which a safety should have been called but was missed as well.

Joe Flacco Almost Pulls a Dan Orlovsky, CBS Drops the Ball, Misses the Replay

During the fourth quarter of Saturday's Ravens-Titans game, Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco dropped back to pass in his own end zone and nearly stepped on the end line:



It was very, very close to a safety, and stunningly, the CBS producers didn't bother to show a replay, while the CBS announcers didn't say a word about it. Only much later, after the game, were viewers able to see another replay angle (the second one shown above) that appears to show green grass between Flacco's foot and the end line.
