Yes, I know I have no posts, but the officiating was the worst I've ever seen for a Super Bowl. Seattle dominated the whole game. The officials determine the outcome of the game and that's the truth. NO one can second guess that. I'm going to jump on Seattle to win the Super Bowl for next year, they got Focking scewed!!!!
Bill Levy and Crew are UNREAL
- Thread starter kmac13
- Start date
And you won't cash a ticket next year either. The better team, THE BEST TEAM won!!!! Yes, every boarderline call wen't the Steelers way, but none of them was out of the question.
I guess on Parkers record breaking TD run the officials must have thrown some blocks for him as well.
Face it, Ben had the ball in the end zone
It was pushing off on the interference call
When you grab somone around the neck from behind it's holding.
Get over it, the best team won!

You know what, I'm gonna eat my words on that one. I don't understand that call at all, but that hardly changed the game considering it was after the interception.
penguinfan,
You surely did not watch the game because the best best team did't not win. I bet 90% of the people who watch the game will believe Seattle was the best team of the field.. Yeah, I know they didn't win, but when they were they best team.

to say none were out of the question.
The td called back was bogus, even former players said it was a bad call.
The td Ben scored when the ref was about to spot him at the 1 & all of a sudden raises his hand for a TD.
The bogus holding call on the catch that put them on the 1 yard line.
Oh & the really bogus call for tackling a guy. Ben tackles a guy he is a hero, Matt does it & it's penalty.
That Hasselback tackle penalty cost his team 15 yards. From the 28 to the 43. He wouldn't have been in a must tackle situation had he not thrown the pick, but I guess that was the ref's fault too.
The refs didn't force Stevens ( loudmouth who provided bulletin board material--GENIUS!) to drop three passes. The refs didn't force the Seattle punter to kick into the endzone FOUR times.
The refs didn't force Seattle coaching staffs to brain-fart managing the clock at both halves' ends.
The refs didn't hold MVP to under 100 yards.
The refs didn't allow Roethlisberger to scramble to throw across the field to hit his guy at the 2 yd line.
Ben's TD was a bad call, IMO, but I believe that they would have either scored on the following play or kicked a FG.
And Jackson DID push the guy, 10 feet in front of the ref. Was the ref supposed to ignore that violation?
Bottom line: The better team won, or least the better team today, as Seattle outplayed the Steeelers between the 20's, but could not finish. That is far more important in the outcome than any referee errors, which are a part of EVERY event.
.......and yes, I bet on Seattle, so I am not a conspiracy theorist, rather a guy who can admit I lost a bet because I bet on the wrong side. Not many of us left, it seems.

You guys can say all you want about Seattle being the better team, but when it counted, Pittsburgh made the plays and Seattle didn't. They choked when it was all on the line!
My money was on the Steelers and I am very happy I won, but to be honest I felt Seattle dominated the whole game. It seemed they moved the ball at will. I found myself screaming at the Pitt. defense all night. Calls were questionable, but I sure am glad they finally went MY FUQIN WAY!!!! Can't tell you how many times i've been on the other side.
1-thing..on the hasselback tackle.....i did seee this same call ealier in year pitt. vs. cinn...on an int. return j. harting went to takle returner and dove at him low and undercut a blocker and takled retutner at same time....they call him for blocking below the waist....clearly hasselback made a great tackle, official mustve thought he hit mcfaden i think who was blocking in front of taylor at time of tackle........clealy he didnt but that y he made the call, saw exact same call on hartings who did hit blocker low...was a bad call but it was right call if he wouldve hit blocker as well....think its a bullshit rule but i guess they have it for some reason..
hit huge $ on the game also,posted it.seatlle got fuked by the refs no doubt.still think pitt wouldve found a way to win though.the refs also robbed us from a great superbowl,had seattle gone up on that so called off interference this game wouldve opened up early and couldve been great.

Man, I was just waiting for someone to ask that.
Again, you see only what you want to see. Look at the replay that will be on several times, the foul was right in front of the ref who grabbed for his flag RIGHT AWAY but missed it and had to reach for it again.
He had his hand on the defender with his arm fully extended less than 10 feet from the official.
Was it a ticky tack call, yes, is it one you get every time, no. Was it a reasonable call, certainally.
I doubt you will ever be able to see it that way.

I'm not going to watch another NFL game or purchase any merchandise if the league officiating problem is not addressed. I dont know why i'm so upset. Its gets worse every year.
