I'd walk off the field if I was Holgren and tell Tagliabue to shove it up my ass!
These fifty years old ref have ruined this game

EVERY big Seatle play was flagged.They had this game won and were screwed royally/It was a disgrace from the first call to the last .The better team lost.
I have never been a proponent of the "fix" theory, but for the first time in my life, and I never thought I would EVER say this.... I do believe this game was not officiated honestly. What we just witnessed was an absolute travesty.
Bad calls - no calls - you name it - at EVERY timely moment the refs tried to pull this game Pittsburgh's way. This really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think we've finally witnessed a bought Superbowl.

GM, your exactly right. I just never thought we would see this in the highest profile game around.
This rates up there with the Wisconsin vs. UNLV fix in Las Vegas around 5-6 years ago. :look:
I cant wait to hear what Holmgren has to say? :chew:

Oh, it musta been that guy that had 20 dimes on it !!!!
Cost ya 1/2 a million, ( to buy the refs), to win 20 dimes. Good return!!!
Don't know if you ever actually bet in Vegas, ( I do every day). How much action do you think they take on a game???
It's tough to get more than a couple of dimes off!!
Bad officiating, MAYBE......
fix, NEVER !!!!!!!!!
Double D
If your referring to me about Vegas fixing the game, thats not what I said?
And I have been to Vegas, and wagered on sports, and I have a pretty good idea of what they will and will not take, as I have been asked to fill out credit apps to wager more than the respective limits at a number of books over the years. I may not live there like you, but I do understand there system.
But one things for sure, you wont know either

What I was saying in reference to GM's post was that this game was not officiated honestly. Due to the large number of BIG calls against Seattle, at inopportune times, I think this was very suspicious. Was it fixed? I dont know and will never know. Did Vegas do it? I dont know and will never know. Did someone pull this off? I suspect so.GM said:

No question about it. I have little doubt Earl Morrall was paid off. But it was the powers of football behind it, not gamblers.
Hate to burst some bubbles, it doesnt have to be Vegas to "fix" a game.
Take the 1995 NBA playoffs. Courtside several media folks heard ref Jake O'Donnel tell Clyde Drexler "I will make sure you dont win this game tonight and you will never get a ring."
Early in the game Drexler got tossed and the Rockets got blown out. Houston managed a miracle run to the title, and O"Donnel was fired by the NBA.
Do you think that early in the game, (the Seattle TD called back), that officials could be tense, nervous, excited, because of the atmosphere and hype, that they try too hard.
Just a thought that came to mind. I'll bet the pressure of not missing a call , and all the hype of a SUPERBOWL, gives a ref butterflies for a minute or two.
Not saying this was the case today, but could this be a possibility in a BIG event like this ???
