Donations for Seahawk fans!

the refs didnt throw an int in the red zone, the refs didnt waste 45 seconds after calling a RUN play with a minute left and no timeouts, the refs didnt get the sack on 3rd and 10 with 6 minutes left that forced the punt, the refs didnt run a SECOND terrible two minute drill, the refs didnt miss 2 field goals, etc.....

Nope....they didn't. Let's see......what did they do?

Oh, yeah:

Touchdown called off on a "phantom" Off/PI call

Called a pass incomplete when it was caught with one foot clearly in, and the other steps on the pylon. (Nullifying another touchdown, or at least a first and goal.)

Call off a third and long completion to the 1 yard line, on a "holding" call that clearly was not. AND they defender was a full strides offsides TWO PLAYS in a row!

Grant Pittsburgh a timeout CLEARLY after the clock shows "00" for about a second, on a third and long play.

And so on, and so forth.......


Now, of course, in your "fair judgment", you will refute all of this. Go ahead.......none of it really matters, does it?

But it's hard to listen to you spout off about "throwing int's in the red zone", when it happens after a "bad" penalty. So, yes......in that sense, the refs did do some of the things that set Seattle up to fail.

Maybe Pittsburgh finally got "One For The Thumb", but it still seems Seattle got the "Finger That's Gonna Linger".

By the way......go to ESPN.com and check out the poll about the officiating. 155,000 votes, and it looks like they must all be "hawks" fans.

(Either that, or people with their heads screwed on straight.........)

Only bitter people would vote in something like that. Plus the poll probably only asks if the officiating was BAD, which I admitted it was at times. That does NOT determine a game though. I'm sure the question in the poll does not ask," WAS THE GAME FIXED?" It prob just says "was officiating bad?" which I have already conceded is true.


The refs call a holding penalty, that has NOTHING to do with hasselbeck throwing an INT on the very next play in the red zone. SORRY but that argument does NOT hold up. Its a completely separate play, its not like it caused a turnover. The QB made a mistake, not a ref who was doing his job. Blame him, dont defer the blame to someone else.

You could list 5 or 6 questionable calls by refs IN EVERY GODDAMN GAME if you tried hard enough, which people obviously are. Does that mean every game is fixed? Get a grip

I tend not to say this too often to people, but you're a fuking idiot.


Let me type this real slow for you:

If the ref doesn't make the bad call, the play stands.

Here it is once more for you......take your time.....Don't be prideful, and race through it:

If the ref doesn't make the bad call, the play stands.

Now, if the play stands, Hasselbeck doesn't even have the opportunity to throw an interception, does he? First and goal is a little better than 3rd and 18!

So, again.......how the fukc can a reasonable person say, "The refs call a holding penalty, that has NOTHING to do with hasselbeck throwing an INT on the very next play in the red zone."

You are absolutely out of your mind.


I'll tell you what. You and I can stand in the middle of a bar. You try to make it past me to the door. I'll try to keep you from reaching the door. Winner buys the other guy's drinks.

You get past me, and just as you are about to reach the door, a couple of guys beat your ass, but good. Then they drag you back in front of me. You get up and try again.

This time you try and get past me, and I knock you down and proclaim, "I told you that you couldn't get past me! I WIN!!!!"


Great game, huh?

First of all, theres two sides to every story

Read this http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&id=2322300

Quoted from the article: The refs didnt cause Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to throw a killer interception with nearly 11 minutes left in the game and Seattle trailing by only four points.

My point exactly. They coulda gone for 5-10 yards to set up a FG. Nobody forced them to go down the field and get the yards back. A FG would have been FINE in that spot

Second, super bowls are about being great.
The Joe Montanas go out the very next play and THROW A FUKKIN TD, forget first and goal. Also, as Pittsburgh v. Indy showed us, you cant even ASSUME Seattle would have gotten 7 on the next play. Your argument is "WITHOUT" or "BUT FOR" the bad call, the INT never happens, right? Seems flawless but where does it stop?
EVERY SINGLE EVENT in a game causes a reaction and chain of subsequent events that forever change its course. So "IF" the bad call doesnt happen, the INT doesnt either. Well, "IF" Rothelsberger didnt throw the pick at the 7, maybe Pitt gets a FG on the next play. Where does it end? "IF" ALOT of things had never happened, it would change the course of the game. If it was the LAST PLAY of the game, its a plausible argument because there are no more events to make up for it. There was 11 minutes left and a 4 point deficit. Plenty of time to come back still

You say Rothelsberger didnt get in the end zone? You're ASSUMING pittsburgh, 100% on 4th down all year, wouldnt have gotten the TD on the next play anyway. Whats the point?
ASSUMPTIONS WORK BOTH FUKKIN WAYS

Hasselbeck threw an INT instead of a TD. Just like when he mismanaged game clock at the end of 2nd and 4th quarters. The fact that the only TD drive of the game for SEATTLE came when the turnover set them up in the red zone PROVES Seattle could NOT sustain a drive. Hasselbeck's pick is just another example of them NOT FINISHING DRIVES like they did the WHOLE GAME.

Next time watch the whole game before calling someone an idiot. They waste 7 chances inside the opponents 40, and 9 trips into pitt territory all day and come away with a total of 10 points. You have the balls to blame the refs for that? :fingerc:

Hey, as long as you feel you were treated to a fair game, have a ball, man.
