HOME SWEET HOME!
HOME SWEET HOME!
Next thing you know it will be the song they steal...
"Late one night
While the Raiders were in Bed,
Old Jim Zorn,
Floated doobie in his head.
And as he sucked his bong hit
He held his breath and said;
"I'm gonna need some big time,
Hot munchies tonight!"
the whole damn thing is fixed. they just effed up and made it too obvious in the big show.
much easier to call phantom holding calls and such than to give/takeaway touchdowns.
seattle was never gonna win this game. but they might have covered. ancient history now though.
great teams can play through bad officiating, just look at the steelers against the colts. this obviously shows you that the seahawks are nothing more then a great nfc team and a good nfl team. they had plenty of chances to win, the refs didn't allow willie to get a 75 yard touchdown, the refs didn't allow randel el to throw a touchdown to hines ward. the refs didn't make their soft tight end drop all those passes. the refs didn't make the wrs forget that you need two feet in bound for it to be considered a catch. the steelers played like but made plays when they mattered, seahawks played good but played like when it mattered. sure the refs sucked but that's is not the only reason they lost. and the refs have been horrible all playoff long not just this one gamesomeone tell me seattle didn't get screwed by the officials in the sb. I'm not a seattle fan but there were at least three obvious calls that were just atrocious.
When Ben ran in for the touch, the sideline ref was about to call fourth down, then he changed his mind and called the touch. The reply clearly shows he didn't get in, yet the ref calls touchdown after review.
The touchdown catch for Darrel Jackson was negated because of a offensive pass interference. Jackson barely touched him. The ref also hesitated on that play to call.
There were several other plays that the refs called in favor of pitt like on the hass fumble.
Seattle had many chances to score especially those drops by Stevens (wasn't he the guy trash talking) but seattle got jobbed. Congrats to pitt.
Nice not to see a blowout like in the other sbs. Good game. The streaker in the budweiser commercial was pretty funny.
the bens touchdown was good, he crossed in the air, it don't matter where you land
the hasselback fumble was called back, so that was in seattles favor, but they did miss stevens fumble, he had control and then they called it incomplete that favored the seahawks
jackson may have barely pushed off but he did, and the ref didn't hesitate he went for the flag and missed and went back for it again, i have the tape
You should clean your tape. The ref hesitated and was bullied into calling the penalty by the Pittsburgh defenseman.
It was PI! He pushed off the guy. Plain and simple.
Incidental contact. Not to mention that the defenseman touched D-Jack first.
That was not incidental contact, he extended his arm. So the defender touched him first, that makes the penalties offsetting; still no TD...
The holding call was iffy, the offensive PI was a good call. They need to make that call more often as WRs get away with too much IMO...
And who cares if he hesitated or not? WRs do it all the time and get the delayed call...
Man these grapes are making me THIRSTY!!!
By letter of the law, it was PI. But it was also a ticky tack foul that doesn't get called 99 percent of the time. If it's blatant, sure, throw the flag. But getting a flag for a foul like that in the Super Bowl is lame. That was bascially the story of the whole game. Pittsburgh got the benefit of the doubt, and Seattle got the end of the stick.
Oh well, it's over and done with. A boring Super Bowl in the books. The refs sure gave us something to talk about though. If not for them, this game would've been forgotten about long before now.
The difference between a baby and a Seahawks fan is that a baby eventually stops crying.
People are still typing in this thread????
Yeah. All those sportscasters and sportswriters who argued that Seattle got the end of the stick were from the great northwest.
Like I said before. If you think the game was called fairly, you're part of a very distinct minority. Deal with it already.
Yeah, I guess they should swallow their whistles in the superbowl. Officiate the whole season as closely as possible, but in the superbowl, they should let some things slide. He pushed off, he got called on it. I think that this is just a bunch a bull for nothing.
who said the officiating the whole season was tight? Think everyone wanted something normal.
Nevertheless, those officials were so bad they called an illegal block on a defensive guy during a tackle. HUH?
Also, what most people missed were the horrible spots of the football. The linesman had to be legally blind.
Wow. I'm amazed people are still discussing this.
I agree totally.
Both teams played like , but somebody had to be champion, and the Steelers are it. They got it done, period.
Well, the thread was in its deaththrows. But apparently, Obstructed_View is still bitter about the big fat asterisk that so much of the sports world is pinning next to this one.

In 5 years nobody will remember the asterisk. The Steelers won. Get the over it. They won and nobody will be able to do about it.
Looks like you're still bitter about it too.
Patriot backers thought the same thing after the infamous "fumble" game in the 2001 playoffs. Funny how most sports fans still remember that game because of one bad call screwing the Raiders. And that was just ONE bad call. This Super Bowl had several.
But you're kinda right. Hardly anyone will remember this Super Bowl. But that's because the refs made it so damn boring to watch.

Word.i will remember this superbowl and how the steelers beat the out of the seahawks
Same here. But with a lot of help from the zebras. *
