News superbowl: holy crap the refs are full of it

very fucked up, i hate the steelers

plus the pass the seahawks got at the 1 yd line and it got taken back

Its kind of a circus. I didn't really care one way or the other, but some one...er the seahawks..are going to be really pissed.

Anyway, Mike Holmgren already got his SB ring w/ GB in '97.
It's time for Bill Cowher to get his this year.
Some might say, @#%^* but it's over, Johnnie.

The Steeler's close touchdown was almost too close to call..but there were two calls that would've resulted in 12 points (definitely 6, probably 12+) for the Seahawks, leaving the game at 22-21..if not 24-21.

I LOVE THE STEELERS. but yeah Big Ben wasn't even close to gettin' in. And the pass interference on Jackson was iffy, only b/c he had an outstretched arm they called it.

B U L L S H I T G A M E !

Yep.

the touchdown for the seahawks being throw out the cameras clearly showed that was a good call...

as for the 2nd qtr steeler touchdown... the rule is as long as ANY of the football gets to that wide white line its a touchdown... so while in the air he barely got it to the line but he did infact....

yes it was pushed back but td's are valid if the ball goes past the line any part of it thats why it was a touchdown cuz it was over the line in the air!

so then your saying that the sea hawks got that other TD too then aye...

Pass interference? On someone who wasn't even close enough to catch the ball? I dunno about that.

actually the pass interference again was technically called correctly according to their rules...

however I have got to say that was sort of a cheap call I mean... he barely touched him.... but its still a valid call... however I do disagree with that one! That one I dont know I disliked that call..

and which seahawks touchdown are you talking about the one where he was out of bounds in like the 1st quarter?

yeah but according to you the all that has to happen is that the ball has to cross the goal like to count... on the play that you are reffering to is the ball yes did cross the goal line but was bounced back caught and landed at the one yard line... it was never in the possesiton of the recever crossed or even on the white goal line...

Just to play devil's advocate. Even if that TD was negated w/ the review and they missed a FG. They still would have won 14-10.

thanks for crushing my dreams...

I didn't know you could call pass interference against someone who wasn't even in position to catch the ball..but hey - I'm not a huge NFL fan..so I'm not supposed to know these things.

I'm not arguing with you, but I still don't understand how it could be pass interference when the guy had no hope of reaching the ball anyway. Can you explain to a non-football-geek p) how the interference calls work?

well liek i said it was a correct call.... i dont know how much he actually pushed off but then again I wasnt on the field... it looked to me liek he barely touched him but who knows.... he might have really pushed him....

I thought it wa sthat td (seahawks) that didnt count that you were all complaining about but he was out of bounds clearly and thats why it didnt count.... he had to stay in bounds... it was throw too far out!

The seahawks played well the first quarter then lost it!

The refs called a fair game... people always complain about the refs but its a hard job and they are the ones on the field calling unbiased calls... the steelers had a decent amount of penalties on them as well....

Either way the seahawks got outplayed and lost.... always next year

I thought most of the calls were bullshit. I feel as though we could have won that game. Unfortunetly, I also say that those were NOT the Seahawks that I watched all season long. We had a bad game and sadly, it had to be in the SuperBowl in front of millions of viewers, which means we STILL wont get the respect we deserve. We had control of that game, just didnt execute things right and its the only game Ive seen this season were it looked like we went to our old coaching techniques . Ive heard people say football is no longer football and this is the first game were I felt the same. Mark my words though, this isnt the last you have seen of the SEAHAWKS! This team is built to make it, and we will.
