I really don't care who wins the SB, but the officials sure do!

They have killed plenty of Seattle drives with phantom holding calls.

    Another bad call. Hasselbeck was down.

    You don't have to care about my opinion, but when HALL OF FAME coach and announcer John Madden says he can't see the holding call, what else do you want?????

    Seattle first and goal at the one with the all time single season touchdown leader, or....Pittsburgh ball two plays later. Give me a break.

    Now a fumble by Hasselbeck with contact. What a joke

    At least the replay officials got it right.

    Okay, Neal knows I'm rooting for Seattle. image

    They just overturned the Hasselbeck fumble, but that holding call was the game changer. Nothing any of you say will change my mind about that. I can give Pittsburgh all the credit in the world for a great game and a nice drive and a great pass by randel el, but they would've been behind if not for a bad call.

    That's according to Madden and not me.

    Here I was hoping the Steelers would only win by three. image

    This game is BS. Pitt is the worse team and its obvious. Pitt won't be back anytime soon they suck. Joey porter better come out and say he knew they wanted pitt to win. Sad sad day for the nfl. Im sure paul will be getting a lot of grief. This refs will never see another super bowl either. Their careers in big games are over.

    They are still better than the Vikings.

    I don't think so. Sure the calls haven't gone the Seahawks way but there is no way I'm watching thinking the Seahawks are the "obviously" better team. They can't convert on third downs and have given up a lot of big third down conversions which usually equals a loss.

    thats cool and i really don't care. Pat yourself on the back for being cool!

    I just wanted to see a good superbowl, but of course the NFL couldn't deliver.

    As a guy who really digs the Steelers (I couldn't have handled the Seahawks winning a Super Bowl) I'm very pleased with the outcome. I will say, the game was pretty poorly played on both sides for a championship. The officiating was generous--to say the least. I kind of feel like the Steelers were handed the thing. It took some of the fun out of it. It seemed everytime I was upset, an official came to my rescue with a really silly call. The offensive pass interference WAS pass interference in the strict definition of the rule. I just have NEVER, EVER seen a call like that in a game of this caliber. The infraction was SO insignificant it was almost funny. I said to my wife "we caught a huge break right there--no way that should be called." They never call that all season!
    I think the second-best team tonight won, but I still like the Steelers chances of beating Seattle 4 out of 7. I do think they are a worthy Super Bowl champion.
    I really can't argue with Seattle fans being a bit ticked off. Those holding calls were downright funny if not mysterious image

    P.S. Is it the Pirates turn?

    What a frickin Joke. These idiots cannot call a game right. They ruined it, I've been a football fan all my life but if these refs cant get a game called even, I'm done. I'll spend Sundays fishing or something. Biggest game of the year and the Seahawks 100% lose the game because of the horrible ref job.


    Am I speaking Chinese?

    I just saw a replay of the holding call that brought back the pass play that would have been first and goal on the 3. Pretty Lame. And then Hasselbeck threw the pick.

    Seattle probably would have had the lead and momentum. I guess great teams overcome stuff like this, but I would be pissed as hell if I were a Seahawk fan.

    Hey Gator, by the way, hell of a recruiting class for UF!!

    Thanks for the compliment. I see Callahan's getting his kind of guys. Are things looking up in Lincoln? It's weird not seeing Nebraska in the top-10 anymore. Hurry up and get back!

    BTW, the officials were terrible, and the league should seriously consider going to full-time officals. There's too much at stake for them not to.
