Then you must not have been watching the replay in HD slow motion on Tivo. Or you're blind. Or a sore loser. Get over it. Or move to Crawford and join Cindy in camp.

Now that's an intellectual statement. Is that how you win arguments?

You know someone is going to post a pic of that sooner or later.

The ball has to break the plane of the endzone, meaning it must enter the endzone.

It did not.

I also think the refs made a lot of bad calls against Seattle and gave the game to the Steelers. I guess that makes me anti-American too? Not that I care who won. I just enjoy the honesty of the WWE because they let you know matches are rigged up front and wish the NFL would do the same.

Uhhh, I realize you wanted PITT to win the game. But the consensus opinion from the people on this thread who watched the game (none of who appears to be cheering for SEA) is that SEA got hosed by the zebras. Its not like they are going to overturn the game if you just admit what actually happened here. Just because somebody wins doesn't mean that the facts are different. Did Christine Gregoire "WIN" the election for Governor in Washington? Not until they had 6 recounts she didn't. The fix was in there too. Calling it like it is should be expected on a site where we don't drink Kool-Aid.

There is no appeal in the NFL and no reviews for 80% of what the refs do. Pittsburgh won. There is no disputing that either. SEA made handfuls of unforced errors and mental mistakes to compound the officiating. It just sucks if you are actually a SEA fan or want to be sure that the game is on the level each year. Can you imagine if the Colts were in the SB or the Eagles with Donovan McNabb? You KNOW that the refs would be working to make sure that the popular team won. Its just surprising that it was PITT.

PITT did have one of the most dominating playoff runs ever. They literally beat the crap out of each team they played until they ran into SEA. The storybook finish was apparently fait accompli (pardon my french) but PITT definitely deserved to be in Detroit this year as did SEA.

We're talking football and your trashing talking personal insults. How classy.

You're the one belongs with the ditch witch.
