The problem is that play was in a gray area. We all suspect that as Manning was getting up and IF he got nailed, before going into a football act (throwing or running) then the Pitt defender would have been flagged for hitting a downed/defenseless player.Right. That's the problem with it from my perspective. I don't think that Manning was intending to give himself up necessarily, but as soon as you slide feet first as a QB you're down and that's not what the officials called.
If I were a Pittsburgh fan, this would be the infuriating part. Sure, he could have been touched down on the hip or something. But it seems like Peyton got some "official" protection: he couldn't be hit, was free to make a play.The problem is that play was in a gray area.

He may have gotten his last free lunch. if he does it again, he's now asking to get nailed.
If Brady pulled that turtle stunt a time or two, the league would probably change the rule.If I were a Pittsburgh fan, this would be the infuriating part.
