Not quite, FRiend. The 75 yard run was a great play, but the gadget pass was a direct result of the (1) bogus holding call that brought the Seahawks back from the 2 yard line and (2) the 15 yard penaly for tackling below the waist.
The game was mediocre on part of the teams, but the refs seriously damaged several instances where the Seahawks were starting to breakout of their mediocrity.
I would rather have seen two mediocre performances slugging it out for a win than one of the two being promulgated by the refs.
Bad calls went against both teams. Pittsburgh won despite sloppy officiating. The officials didn't run the ball 75 yards. The officials didn't complete the long pass for a TD.
And your tagline "There is no substitute for victory." seems out of place, as the Seahawks fans seem to have found that whining and griping is apparently an acceptable substitute for victory.
There are bad calls in every game.
Good teams win despite those calls.
Look at it from a positive angle.
All the poor, destitute people in the world will soon be wearing the "Seattle Super Bowl Champions" shirts that got printed before the game.
I think something is wrong with your tv, here allow me...
the gadget pass was a direct result of the (1) bogus holding call that brought the Seahawks back from the 2 yard line Randle El taking the ball on a reverse hand-off and (2) the 15 yard penaly for tackling below the waist Randle El throwing a 43 yard pass which was caught by Hines Ward, the game MVP.
Better?
