will the whining EVER stop??? love that graphic, marteen!
Oh I Know those fines are bigguns. I was hoping for a barn burner and yep, the refs had the hose ready.
Because we want it to be..............
All this whining about officiating is warranted but the bad officiating happened on both sides of the ball. The fact is that Pittsburgh played their worst post season game and still won.
One for the thumb -- accomplished.
And the absolute hypocracy of Rush demeaning the emailers for whining about the officiating.
Rush carried on about a call that allowed the Patriots to win a Super Bowl.
He moaned and groaned for the longest time. Unending blah blah blah.
I didn't really care who won, but the officiating was stomach turning.
PERFECT
It's hard to beat a team that has three QB.'s touching the ball on the same plays.
;-)
Fast Willie ........ ZOOM (thanks to # 66 Alan Faneca)!
To be fair, I'm not a big Cowboy fan either, even though I'm a native Texan.
However, in the time of Staubach and Landry, they were THE best!
What a concept, actually holding a Super Bowl parade within a the same week of winning. When the Cowboys won theirs, what was it, a month before they actually held the parade?
Sitting high atop the very first float and (ironically) waving yellow hankies to the Steeler Fans.
There was holding. Watch the original angle, not the replay. The refs may have called the wrong number, but an offenseive lineman saved Hasslebeck from becoming a pancake.
What about the no call horse collar?
To be a "horse-collar tackle", the original contact must come from behind and the neck of the jersey must be the first thing grabbed. Neither were true on that tackle.
The "pass interference" call in the endzone was bull. Neither the defender nor receiver did anything to warrant a flag.
The receiver pushed off with his right hand into the defender's chest to aid in changing direction and to create space to catch the ball. That is the definition of offensive pass interference. Doing it right in front of the official just makes it easier to call.
Are you Baghdad Bob?
Nope, just someone who is sick of all of the Seattle fans whining about bad calls costing them the game. There were bad calls that went against Pittsburgh, too, but the Steelers chose to win, not whine.

I was hoping they would hold it on Saturday so I could visit the in-laws. Oh well, have fun Burgers.
What would they have to gain by commenting on the bad calls? Even during the game, Mr. Madden commented on what he saw as incorrect calls.
Are they all to be discounted?
