Seattle coach laments having to ‘take on the guys in the striped shirts, too
DETROIT - No appreciation or consolation in Seattle for the Seahawks, at least not yet.
Nope, they were still stuck in frustration.
The post-Super Bowl parties went into early Monday morning as the Seahawks at least tried to celebrate their season, instead of their somber Sunday. Later, coach Mike Holmgren tried to refocus the team, momentarily, on what it had done and what it still may do.
(Snip) –
And the Seahawks were still stinging from a few officials’ calls that went against them, such as Darrell Jackson’s touchdown catch that was taken away by a penalty and a disputed TD run by Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger.
“We knew it was going to be tough going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Holmgren told the fans at Qwest Field. “I didn’t know we were going to have to play the guys in the striped shirts as well.”

LOL
great post! Hail!
Speaking of that, just heard an interesting piece of gab (rumor) at the Steeler media get together today,..................... Meagen Cowher (20)............... the sweet and lovely star basketball player for Princeton has found herself within the adoring eye of Ben Roethlisberger. Yoi, double yoi!
Can you imagine the Hmmmmmhaa's between coach Cowher and Ben when those dates may occur?
LOL!
who is that woman he is with in the previous picture?
Might make it a little easier to keep him once his first contract is up. Hard to make major contract demands when coach is your FIL.
Totally BULL!
There is a post here on FR that shows very directly that the ball was over (above) the goal line before Ben was shoved back and then hit the ground.
You are apparently just another uninformed idiot.
And...............to tell you the truth................. I am sick of the stupidity!
Btw, Reagan was way smarter than you from this ignorant post.
Well Mr. Ben needs to learn the first rule of any Job.....
Don't mess with the bosses daughter.

right on!
To build on one of your paragraphs (good post BTW) I think the most glaring example of anti-Steeler bias came from Tom Jackson in the half time report. Didn't comment on any of the "controversial" calls, he was talking running game. He made the comment that the Steelers had been completely unable to establish the run and were also unable to stop Seattle's run, at the half Seattle had 3 more yards on the ground that Pitt with 1 more run, both teams were averaging 3.3 yards a carry. How in blazes that's one team unable to run and unable to stop the run I can't explain.
Nope - no money, just disgust at the officiating.
At any rate - the controversy will pass, and the Steelers will be remembered as the winners. I hope that the officiating problems will also be remembered - but in the past tense.
BTW - I call myself a butterbar-turned-Captain because that's what I was... A US Army officer that started out as the lowest form of officer and became a captain. Just a historical accuracy regarding my life, FRiend.
Have a good day.
LOL!
The parade was great.
IT'S TUESDAY FOLKS!
THE GAME IS OVER!
THE STEELERS WON!
GET A LIFE!
I'm guessin' this wasn't taken at DisneyWorld. < |:)~
You do not know football from your post(s).
Ohhh, maaaan. *shudder*
Thank you for your perspective!
I remember Chris Berman and the whole crew were in agreement that Seattle had to feel pretty good about their first half performance and should take a lot of confidence into the second half.
I was like "What game are they watching? Pittsburgh played like crap for 20 minutes and still went into the locker room with a lead."
Experts. Gotta love 'em.

It's football man. It's the biggest game of the year, and the last game with any ramifications of the year. That also makes it the last time to seriously talk football until the free agency window starts in March. Hardcore football will generally find a way to keep talking about the game until contracts expire.
