WOW im a little pissed, hasselback deff. blew the game w/ the interception, and the seattle coach made some of the dumbest plays i could have ever seen,w/e next yer giants all the way
 
how bout the reffing. seattle deserved two more touchdowns and the rothlesberger touchdown never broke the plane
 
I dont watch football that often but I must say that the Superbowl this year was incredibly boring. Lots of retarded plays and way too much running.
 
yeah some of those calls were off, but my dad won $500 in an office pool for the game so we're happy here. =)
 
yeah cant be madd w/ 500$ payoff, but did u guys see the halftime show? haha damn, i thought that they were all gonna drop dead right there
 
seattle got raped on those two catches that got called back, first one shoulda def ben a touchdown. then that 2nd one put them at like the 2 yrd line. they shoulda won. those refs were fucktards
 
FUCK YA! the steelers kicked ass once agian! what a beautiful fucking season.

honestly, seattle got robbed. They deserved to win, although that last touchdown with the reverse that the steelers got was pretty sick!
 
its corporate contract shit, they cant say shit about the refs the same way they cant televise streakers like at last super bowl
 
The steelers deserved to win just for the beautifully executed end around-flea flicker. That is the greatest play in superbowl history. Rothlisberger really made some good plays though, I think he deserves a little credit.
 
The first touchdown the seahawks should have had was a bad call by the refs. There was minimal pushing and thats part of the game, it was a stupid call.

The first touchdown by the Steelers shouldn't have been one, it never crossed the line. Other than those two calls, the refs made good calls. Even if those calls were reversed the steelers still would have won - their plays in the second half killed the seahawks.
 
Pretty much the only people who are satisfied with the refereeing in this game are Steelers fans. It went from the first Hawks TD to the first Pitts TD to the nonexistent holding call on the pass to the 2 yard line to the "down by contact" ruling on the Hasselbeck fumble to the Hasselbeck "chop block" and beyond... it was a joke. If you can't step back and admit that, there's something wrong with you. And I don't even CARE that much about the NFL, I usually only watch the Super Bowl.
 
exactly.

and even more proof that officiating is skewed, take a look at the indianapolis colts game and the interception (polamou sp?) at the end that got overturned as an incomplete. terrible.
 
what a stupid game. it basically came down to who played worse, and i hate games like that. sure, i'm happy for the steelers n shit, but the entertainment factor was wayyyyy low
 
fuck that shit, it was not a joke at all, it was decent refereeing, but the refs definitely did not cause the hawks to lose, im too drunk but i would make sense, sadly i cant but i might take up this argument tommorow, ive missed a good argument, and i know your capable of putting one forth, but your canadian so im not sure about the whole football knowledge thing
 
You'd have to be drunk to call that "decent officiating". It was a disgrace and football fans should be depressed that their sport has to suffer from such a blemish. Jesus, the timeout call when the clock was clearly at 0 seconds? The collar tackle on Alexander not called? It just keeps going and going... how can it be any more obvious?
 
yes there were questionable calls, and yes i was sufficiently drunk enough not ro really remember the second half well, but i really dont think the officiating actually changed the game at all, roethlisburger's TD was on a first down so they would have scored anyways, and shit like the horse collar tackle is minor and it wouldnt have changed the game, the steelers would have won the game with or without the officiating, simply because they outplayed the seahawks, especially on defense, because that is where the hawks lost the game, because they couldnt score for shit
 
Allow me to show you exactly the point totals.

1st Seahawks TD (incorrect push off call): 7 points

1st Steelers TD (didn't break the plane): 7 points... they might have run it in.

Seahawks pass to 2 yd line (nonexistent holding call): 3-7 points (probably 7) for Seattle, and minus 7 for Pittsburgh because an INT followed, and the Steelers scored on it.

Yes. It changed the outcome. It changed the point totals. And all of the calls that seemed to go against Seattle, from a bad ball spot in the 1st Q that LED to the fake Pitts TD onwards, ended Seattle drives that either probably or possibly would have produced points. The referees won the game for Pittsburgh and lost it for NFL fans everywhere. I honestly feel bad for the Steelers, because this win will always have an asterisk in the fans' minds, and even losing is better than winning that way.
 
I mean, if that one pass to the 2 yard line hadn't been called back for holding that never took place (and on which play Pittsburgh was offside, by the way), it would have been 17-14 Seattle. How can you say that doesn't change how the game would've gone?
 
jd pretty much laid it out there. i couldn't even believe what i was seeing. it seriously made me fucking angry as hell.
 
and dude, seriously, you've got to be kidding me. they practically handed the steelers the game with two blatantly terrible bad calls. a fucking chimp could have done better.
 
I think now that football is over, some football fans have nothing to do now but complain.

Go play with your kids.. it's a fucking game.
 
offensive pass intereference doesnt make sense. But it's still a rule and thats what happened.

For it to be a touchdown a part of the ball has to cross the plane and a tiny part cleary crossed the plane.
 
I think I have to defend the reffs here. I'm not an avid football fan and wasnt really cheering for either of the teams but I think the reffs did a good job. The first called off touchdown that seattle could have gotten is questionable but rules are rules, you have to draw the line somewhere and if you push off you push off. I'm not sure if the NFL has zero tolerance policy, but it seems that that is what came into effect. The touchdown by the steelers QB, it was over the line, the rule is that any part of the ball has to cross over the line. If you look at the the replay, the ball crosses the line in the air and then he gets pushed back over by the defence, it was a TD.

I just have to say that that last touchdown by steelers was money.

Refs were far from Super in this one

This is the space where I get to crow about the frightening precision of my Super Bowl prediction.

Where I get to remind everyone that I guaranteed the Steelers would win the title after they beat the Colts. That they were the only championship-caliber team among the final four. That they would dismantle the Broncos in Denver and waylay whomever the NFC sent at them.

This is the space where I get to wag a finger at my colleague Ian O'Connor, with whom I'd waged a dueling columns battle of opposing prognostication. He picked the Seahawks and made a very strong case for them.

This is the space where I get to say, I told ya so. But I won't. I can't.

I've never felt so empty being right. I feel dirty. I wish I'd been wrong. The Steelers did not deserve to win this game. They were not the better team. O'Connor was right. Seattle was the better team.

So, Paul Tagliabue, how does a team lose when it outgains an opponent by 57 yards, controls time of possession and wins the turnover battle?

Like a crazed CIA analyst running through the halls of Langley screaming into open offices about some impending calamity, I've been shrieking hysterically about the terrible officiating in the NFL and warning that some day the brutal calls were going to affect the outcome of the Super Bowl.

That some day was Sunday.

Every single questionable, marginal or outright bad call went against the Seahawks.

Their first three big plays were all wiped out by penalty calls. On their second drive, Darrell Jackson caught an 18-yard pass on 3rd-and-6 that would have given Seattle a first down at the 23. But Chris Gray was called for holding James Farrior. When Farrior pushed upfield, Gray did hook him with his right arm, and Farrior went down. When referee Bill Levy flagged Gray, it was a bad omen for the Seahawks. Instead of being on the edge of the red zone, they came away without any points.

On their third drive, the Seahawks looked to take a 7-0 lead when Jackson separated from Chris Hope in the end zone and Matt Hasselbeck delivered a perfect strike to his outside shoulder. The back judge looked uncertain —sound familiar, Patriots fans? — then finally jerked his flag out and called offensive pass interference to wipe out the touchdown. The replay showed receiver and defender hand-fighting with Jackson getting the slightest push into Hope's chest before turning to catch the ball. ABC's John Madden thought the call was dubious. FOX analyst and all-time great offensive lineman Brian Baldinger had no doubts, calling it "absolutely horrendous" on his FOXSports.com Super Bowl Instant Analysis. ESPN's Steve Young and Michael Irvin also had no uncertainty, dismissing the call as ticky-tack and insisting the Seahawks got robbed of a TD.

Then came a huge call on the first play of the second quarter. Peter Warrick ripped off a 33-yard punt return to give Seattle the ball at the Steelers 46. But Etric Pruitt was called for holding. How clear was it? Well, Madden thought the call was for Pruitt holding the gunner at the beginning of the play. It wasn't. The flag came in during the runback and it looked pretty minor. Another example of an official searching to make a call.

So despite totally dominating the first 20 minutes of the game, the Seahawks led only 3-0.

Then came Pittsbugh's first touchdown. Whether you think Roethlisberger broke the plane of the goal line seems to depend on which team you were rooting for. The odd part was the line judge seemed to have determined that Big Ben had come up short as he ran in from the sideline. Since Roethlisberger had been pushed back well short of the goal line I don't know what he could have seen as he got closer to the pile that would have made him change his mind. But up went the arms. Had Roethlisberger been ruled short of the plane, that call would no doubt have stood too. But you figure the Black and Gold would have pounded it in from the two-inch line on fourth down so there's not that much here for Seattle fans to complain about except for the continuing storyline that every single call was going the Steelers' way. And the worst was yet to come.

The Seahawks were on the verge of taking a 17-14 lead early in the fourth quarter when officiating disaster struck. Hasselbeck had drilled a pass down the seam to Jerramy Stevens to set up first-and-goal at the one when suddenly Levy appeared in the middle of the screen to call the play back on account of holding on Sean Locklear. No less a source than newly-minted Hall of Famer John Madden came right out and said it was a bad call. This penalty was beyond ticky-tack. Baldinger called it "another terrible call" and added that the Steelers were offsides on the play. It was yet another official searching for a call, desperate to throw his flag, yearning to impact the action. Why, why, oh, why? That's 14 points the officials simply took away from the Seahawks. Incredible.

After a sack, Hasselbeck threw a pick and then was penalized 15 yards for making the tackle. I'm not kidding. The same thing happened in the Indy-Pittsburgh game in the regular season. It's like the officials become so discombobulated during the change of possession that they just randomly start throwing flags. The call was that Hasselbeck had thrown an illegal block below the waist on the return. Never mind that Hasselbeck wasn't trying to block anybody and did, in fact, make the tackle. Just another terrible call that cannot be reviewed in Paul Tagliabue's NFL.

The Steelers took quick advantage of their enhanced field position and just like that it was 21-10 Pittsburgh when it should have been 17-14 Seattle.

But the stripes weren't done.

First, they blew a fumble call on the field — of course against Seattle — before overturning it after replay. Then, with the Steelers trying to run out the clock, Levy granted Roethlisberger a timeout, even though the play clock clearly read zero before the quarterback signaled for time. It ended up being the final bad call in Seattle's coffin.

As Madden and Al Michaels watched the replay they shared a laugh about a similar bad non-call in an earlier playoff game between the Bears and Panthers. This is what it has come to: Announcers comparing the bad calls happening before them to the bad calls from earlier rounds of the playoffs. Is this really what the NFL wants?

With Cris Collinsworth lobbying for pass interference to be eligible for review on Inside the NFL after New England got jobbed in Denver; Joey Porter inveighing against the league after the game in Indy; Young and Irvin railing at halftime of the Super Bowl; Baldinger being spot-on with his Instant Analysis critique of the officials; and Madden and Michaels wondering aloud about the officiating during the game ... is anybody in the league office listening?

Or can we pretty much count on next year's playoffs being dominated by the officials too?
