Yes there wher some bad calls, infact terrible calls and I expect over the next few days the refs are gong to hear more than they want to.

But the Seahawks still had chances to win and in the end can blame no one but themselves. I truely believe they where the better team and they played better for 80% of the game. The Steelers though made the big plays and that is what it takes to win.

Just my opinion is all!



Jim
I agree but this year ,refs have blindly/arrogantly miscalled some key decisional plays and that's even after using the "review feature"that is suppose to correct any on the field mistaken or disputable calls that a ref has had to make in a split second.

"yermama'scookyjar."
Not sure what that means, doesn't sound clean though.

Please enlighten this poor foreigner.

I thought it was a good game, both teams played well enough to win
Seattle had their chance's but couldn't get it done.
They should have put the Steeler's away in the first half.

They almost did, but it wasn't a horseshoe game. And boy am I glad it wasn't. I did okay at the casino.
Go Steelers. A little retribution for the Panthers loss.

Yeah, there were definately a few bad calls. I like how a buddy of mine summed it up: "it was almost as if the refs were against the Seahawks". Not that Seattle didn't 'hawk it more than once.

They will probably present the best team - and thier chance of winning (in my opinion) is almost none.

Big playes can change a game, bad calls can change a game.Maybe the head reff should have had more than 5yrs of experience.

no,UFC57 was on PPV saturday night. chuck Liddell caught Randy coulture with a good punch when Randy slipped,and pretty much finished him off when he fell down from the punch. I was hoping Randy could get Chuck on the ground and I could see how chuck did in submissions,about all I have seen him do is boxing the couple times I have seen him fight.

The "pushoff" was a weak call as was the "tackle".

That said, Seattles defense really broke down on the 3rd and 28 floater that netted the Steelers 1st and goal. Along with poor clock management and the missed FG's, even though they were long...then again, I wonder what goes through a kickers mind when he can split the uprights from 38 yards and have plenty of leg for a 55yarder, but never get it on line from 50+?

Funny thing though, if it weren't the SuperBowl, I'd have just considered it a ESPN Sunday game and not even watched it.

That had to be one the worse officiated games I have ever watched, definitely the worst NFL game.

The calls were out of this world.


How can a tackler be charged with a below the waist block ?

The so called incomplete pass was actually a fumble with the ball going out of bounds at the 8 yd line.

The so called push off was basically a straight arm doing nothing after the route was broken.

Yes IMO, it was Refs vs the Seahawks.

Remember my point view is un-biased and purely taken as a fan of the game.

The fact remains, regardless of the officiating, the Seahawks had every opportunity to win the game and they blew it.

The Seahawks were flatly out coached.
