Hines Ward = Crook!

Obvious face mask on Hines Ward not called and on the play that was called back due to a phantom holding call, I don't think Ward came down in bounds. Didn't matter since the holding negated it anyways.

Not a well coached game by Tomlin. He went for 2 way too early, and because they missed, the next time they had no choice. And the first time they went for 2 from the 12 after a penalty. Rookie coaching mistake.

I thought the late hit was a good no call, it looked like Hines did a somersault to make it look worse than it was. But the zebra's did miss a false start by the Jags on their first TD.
As far as the coaching goes, I thought both head coaches were less than stellar.
