Actually besides a few big plays it was a badly played game. (IMO)papasmerf said:
Hasselbeck played much better then Roethlisberger but the Steelers made the right plays when it counted.
Congrats to the Black and Gold
Not a fan of either team. Bearly watchable game too. Was it just me or did it look like the Steelers D was offside mulitple times with no calls?

OnTheWayOut
deck was stacked
And that "TD" run by Roethlisberger? he never broke the plane .......
what a joke.....
I agree, there were at least 3 calls against Seattle that were bogus and cost them 2 TDs ..... wasn't a great game and it sucks to see the refs deciding the outcome.thundarr said:

I was going for Seattle!
A Touchdown the steelers made should't have count.
but anyway it was a good game and I liked the half time show
with the Rolling stones I thought it was awesome!

Officiating has been consistently bad throughout the playoffs.
I don't understand what Hasselbeck was thinking throwing 5 yards downfield with no timeouts and needing 2 scores. Dumb!

I agree with that's been said above. Except for the "Quidditch World Cup" thing.
There was so much yellow on the field in the 1st half, Tagliabue must've given the ref's a earfull to let the guys play in the 2nd half. That's why there were half as much flags thrown (re: offsides).
A couple of those penalties, Seattle killed themselves (pushing off to catch a ball, blatant holding). I'm just happy that Bettis can go out like Elway, on top of his game.
Congrats Steelers!

As others have noted, not the greatest of games. I'd like to know what these refs are missing, dont know how you could call Roethlisberger's TD...and that "pushoff" was BS too...
I disagree. You can see from the replays that the receiver stopped the momentum of the defensive player from invading his space. The ref made a good call. A receiver should not use any type of leverage to distance himself from the defender in the pursuit of the ball.the_big_E said:
Even the so-called holding calls were bang on. Watch the replays, and you can see that the offensive lineman got his hand up in between the arm and head of the defensive lineman.
Seattle was able to move the ball but could not finish a drive. Holmgrem/Hassleback made some questionable calls in regards to time management - This was very surprising in respect of Holmgrens coaching experience. The Seattle receiver, Jurevicious dropped a couple of balls that any "game time" player would have caught - That's what separates the men from the boys, as they say. Tough loss for the Seahawks.
Play of the game was that double reverse throw to Ward for the TD. I thought I was watching a college play there for a second.
Funny thing I noted out of this superbowl - It is hard to win it all in any league and even more so for coaches/managers to win it for different teams. Sometimes the statistics prove that firing a coach is not the answer, bringing in the right players is more important.
In the few superbowls I have watched this one was somewhat entertaining.
I didn't really care who won but, man, somebody had to pay-off the officials for some of those calls. Albeit they motioned some real boner plays, I really felt sorry for Seattle.
Agrred there were some suspect calls that went against Seattle.Seattle missed how many field goals?At the end of the half and again at the end of the game, they were completly disorganized and confused.The officiating didn't help Seattle but they didn't help their own cause.Steelers won and
IMO deserved the win!

Biggest play was never mentionned --The Pittsburg hand off of the paper bag to the officials just before the game.
The Stones looked like old farts. Jagger needs a hip replacement and he seemed off-key.
There were no bare tits and Arethra looks like she should join WWF.
Other than that it was quite entertaining

That game sucked. From all the blown calls mentioned earlier in this thread i havent seen anyone mention Hassellbacls penalty for blocking below the waist. How in the fuck can they call that when he is making a tackle.
The tradition of losing teams blaming the officials will never die. There was no conspiracy. Did the officials make some bad calls? Yes. Was it the reason Seattle lost? No. Bad calls happen, like when the Steelers were robbed of that interception against Indy; the good teams overcome it.
If you want to analyze the calls then:
- The interference call on the TD was wrong, so give Seattle 7 pts but take away the field goal they got on the same drive. That`s only 4 points.
- It honestly looked to me like Roethlisberger WAS IN on his TD.
- A couple (not all) of the holding penalties were questionable, but there`s none of them that you could honestly say Seattle would`ve definitely scored if they hadn`t happened.
- As long as we`re talking about questionable calls, what about the Steelers fumble recovery by Polamalu that was ruled an incompletion?
Cowher outcoached Holmgren, plain and simple. Instead of screaming about bad calls, Seattle fans should be asking:
- Why they had the league MVP but barely used him?
- Why Stevens dropped 3 catchable balls?
- What the hell was the logic behind their play selection on the last drive? Did they hire Mike Martz to call those plays?
