You won't hear the Seahawks complain - unless they want to pay LARGE fines.

I'm a Jets fan. I tuned into the Super Bowl to see a good game. The refs ruined it. The Steelers may have won anyway - but the calls that changed the game's momentum (and revitalized a sulking Steelers bench) certainly played more than their fair part.

Oh I Know those fines are bigguns. I was hoping for a barn burner and yep, the refs had the hose ready.

As far as games go, I think it was pretty mediocre all the way around.
Neither team ever had any "momentum" to begin with, so you can't really blame it all on the refs.
Pittsburgh might have had some "momentum" if Rothlisberger didn't throw that bonehead interception...
I give lots of credit to the Seahawks' offensive line... Steelers didn't get to Hasslebeck as much as I would've expected. But Hasslebeck and his receivers performed poorly... so what if they had a couple calls go against them? Sheesh, they were either dropping balls or catching 'em a step-and-a-half out of bounds all game. They didn't do diddly-squat to overcome the few bad calls that you're gonna get every game. At least Pittsburgh came up with the razzle-dazzle gadget pass and a 75-yard run to score. Those two plays alone were all that was needed to win.

I think this is what revitalized the Steelers and sunk the Seahawks. Everyone knew it was coming except the Seahawk defense.
