So how was it an incomplete pass?

Edit: Sorry, I've seen so many people say the TD pass was incomplete I kinda jumped the gun. As far as the fumble goes, (Remember I was born and raised in the Burgh') Warners arm was moving forward, and the call should've been an incomplete pass. (not that it would've made a difference)

It sure was.

There were only seconds left on the clock and even if it wasn't a fumble are you going to tell me that Warner's last desperate pass of the game will find the endzone somehow?

Warner still had the ball in his hand AFTER he hand forced it through the Steeler defender's grasp. Add 30 yards of should be penalties and the Cards are at about the 19 yard line. That's not an impossible situation, especially with someone like Fitz.

Of course nobody knows how things would have gone if they had the 15 yards on the kickoff from the should have been penalty. It sure would have been nice to see though.
