They are saying its an engine fire, I doubt that could cause an aircraft to crash. They could have stopped I.E before V1 and if not they could have taken off I.E after V1. Well I think thats right

These things never normally come down to 1 thing though do they. It'll be Engine fire = problem 1 and some other unknown problem which left the plane unable to deal with problem 1.
Indeed, engine fire in an MD-82 would give you serious issues with rear control surfaces, plus having to very quickly deal with a thrust imbalance - recipe for disaster...
