I do not believe that the officials caused Seattle's offense and kicking games to play like they did. Blaming on the refs is always the last refuge of the pathetic...you know, teams like Duke, Texas, UW-Madison...

I don't follow sports at all, and the Super Bowl is the only football game I ever watch so I really don't have a dog in the fight.  But I do know you're wrong.  Poor officiating can take the wind right out a teams sails.  The Seahawks came out of the gate strong and didn't falter until a few "perceived bad calls" were thrown at them.

You can turn that around and say "They shouldn't have been rattled" but there's a big difference between being rattled by the other team, which they weren't, and being rattled by the referees.  Seattle was clearly rattled by the refs.
