True, I didn't see any funny ones.

I didn't think there was anything "obvious" about the ball crossing the plane. I could see it going either way, and I think it was the right call not to reverse it because there wasn't enough evidence to overturn but if there's anything that can be said about that play it's that it was certainly not "obvious" either way.
Nor are the people in this thread the authority. I said as soon as it happened it was a poor call. But I do take his opionion more highly than people here currently posting.
Of course. The ONE that I saw was the Seattle catch that they called incomplete...when it was clearly a catch, and fumble.Some calls get missed in sports. There was nothing horribly blatant in this game. And I'm sure that if you re-watch the game, you'll see some calls against Pittsburgh that were questionable too. That's how every game is.
The irony here, is that Pitt would 'probably' had worse field position if it was ruled a fumble......instead, they punted to Pitt. So either way it didn't really effect them at all.
I've never stated that Seattle did everything perfectly. The bungled the clock, no doubt. Stevens dropped plenty of balls. But the ref's had plenty to do to the outcome of the game. The ref's should never have this much of an impact in a Super Bowl. To say the better team won is weak. Ben had a 22 QB rating. The running game was non-existent except for one nice play by Parker. The better team did not win.It's weak analysis to blame games like this on the officiating. The Seahawks played the end of the half and the end of the game like school girls in regards to clock management. The better team won today.
Yawn...yawn...yawn...
I'm not a fan of either team, nor did I bet on the game, but this was a badly called game, EOS.
Who was the head ref? Had anyone seen him before? .... I did not think so.
Game was well called. We have a champion. STFU and close the thread. Who Cares...oh...and Don't with the 12th Man.
This was his first Super Bowl.
I don't know jack about him, but everyone said he was well respected before the game.
LMAO. even the guys on NFL netwrok are saying the Ben endzone dive was not a TD.
Yawn...yawn...yawn...
i'm sure he'll be getting a lot more now that this game is over
Guys on NFL Network are Not Officials.
, is that the next step? We have text voting for questionable calls? Holy Schnykees!
The bottom line is SCOREBOARD!!!
True.....but they know more than you. They are invloved with the sport to a greater extent than you or I will ever hope to be. Typically they are ex-players. Yes I take their opinions more highly than yours.
Especially when the ref's help w/ what the scoreboard says.The bottom line is SCOREBOARD!!!
1) They had the same view I did and the same replays
2) Scoreboard...Socreboard...Scoreboard
3) Yawn...yawn...yawn...
One of the worst SB's in a while. Play was sloppy, refs were ing up and neither team really has any appealing personalities. You mean Jerome Bettis is from Detroit? No, I did not know that. It's time for the man to be canonized. Think about it. Jerome Bettis' childhood dominated the last 2 weeks leading up to this game. Wow.
So America gets what it wants, a soul-less commercialized ty game, with refs ing up even with instant replay and challenges to correct their errors.
I could give a rat's ass about either team but the Steelers earned that win. Manny nailed it...when Seattle needed to come up big, they didn't. Period.
I did like the "Benny Hill couch on fire" Sprint commercial.
I didnt read all the posts in here, but the officiating is NO excuse for SEA giving up that long Parker run, or the WIDE OPEN Ward TD on the trick play. The officiating had nothing to do with the MVP laying an egg in the biggest game of the year. The officiating had nothing to do with SEA throwing a pick while they were driving. Officiating had nothing to do with Stevens being so scared about the junk he talked that he dropped almost eveything that was thrown his way and had a hard time catching a wide open perfectly thrown TD. Officiating had nothing to do with SEA losing.
PIT was the better team, plain and simple.
I don't think the refs did a very good job. There were a lot of flags that were thrown when they should have just let them play.
Did the ball break the plane on the Big Ben TD? You could never clearly tell but it was too close to overturn the TD call.
The DJax offensive PI was a weak call. A one hand nudge before the ball was even close is a weak call. The defender flopped and drew it.
That holding call on Seattle was BS. Should have been Seahawks ball at the one. He hit him and the guy stumbled. There wasn't any holding involved.
The call on Hasselbeck on the tackle might be the worst call I've ever seen. The guy gets called for a low block when he makes a tackle? WTF?
All told, Seattle got the short end of the stick when it came to the judgement calls, but they still didn't play well enough to earn a Super Bowl win. S. Alexander and Stevens played soft. The Steelers weren't much better but they came up with big plays when they needed it.
Name another season where the referees had such a bad impact on the playoffs.
Name another super bowl played so badly by both teams.
Name another super bowl where the officiating had such a profound effect on the outcome.
Name another super bowl with grandpa's screaming at you as a half time show.
You can't.
Those of you that say blow off the officiating will be talking out the other side of thier mouths when the refs start blowin calls against thier teams.
Believe it I have always been a Steeler fan, but this is no way to win. Trying to talk smack about the Steeler now will just make me and the rest of the black and yellow look silly.
P.S.
Thank God that the NBA isn't decided by a one game circus.
Yawn...yawn...yawn...
I was rooting for Pittsburgh, and yes, the refs definitely had a huge impact on the final outcome. Seattle got the short end of the stick. It should have been a much closer finish than what it turned out to be.
I'm a Browns and Cowboys fan, so there's no team I hate more than the Steelers, but this is ridiculous. Please don't make me sound like I'm defending them EVER again.
Seattle didn't get screwed by the officials in the sb.
The line judge made the call. Only he knows what he saw, and since it's his job to make the call, you have to go with it. The replay was inconclusive, therefore the ref CANNOT reverse the call.
By rule, you aren't allowed to push off, EVEN BARELY. If you do it in front of the official, you are just stupid. If the ref has trouble getting the flag out of his pocket to throw it, it doesn't suddenly make it a bad call. That was an easy call to make.
That was overturned because it was a bad call. Like the above calls, the officials went by the book and got it right.
You are forgetting the Seattle fumble in the first half that was whistled dead and the Seattle fumble that was ruled incomplete. Both were potentially bad calls, were un-reviewable and would have been huge in the game.
For those that are complaining about Hasselbeck's personal foul: If you throw yourself at a runner's knees and there's a guy in front of him, that guy is called a blocker. If you make contact with him below the waist it's a pentalty. Period. I don't like it either but it's the rule.
The only call I really question in the game (that I remember) is the horse collar tackle on Alexander when he was trying to go outside. Porter clearly had his hand inside the shirt collar. So much for the Roy Williams rule. I don't think it was called a single time this year.
budweiser had the only funny ones.
and ha ha ha ha HA @ the guys in this thread getting JOBBED trying to defend the seahawks.
You are right about that. I'm shocked how much the commercials sucked this year. The one with the little girl thinking her daddy was dead was really terrible.
