Umm, since the pic is from an angle behind the plane how can you tell if it broke the plane?

Well, if you look at Ben's left hand, you can see that his fingertips are virtually resting on the plane of the goal line, and you can plainly see that his right hand (and the ball) are further upfield than his left hand.

Touchdown. That's perfect visual proof in my world.

And btw, the only reason i stated that i had watched every playoff game this season was to illustrate that i am a dedicated fan of the game, and therefore perhaps a little better versed with the way game is being officiated compared to those who "are not football fans at all" (as one complainer wrote), or those who admittedly aren't even familiar with the fundamental rules of the game....

Funny how even looking at the same pic we still can't agree. :lol:

What I see is his right elbow resting on the ground before the goal line and the ball downfield from where his elbow is resting. Actually, on second glance I suppose one could also see the football as being on top of his right forearm which I suppose would make it a TD. Either way, the pic is still pretty inconclusive to my eyes, just like the 341 replays were.
