I never mentioned referees. I meant the Seahawks awarded the Superbowl trophy to the Steelers by playing their worst game of the year. And yet somehow they were in the game to the end. I've always said that you have to play well enough to take the refs out of the picture.

You all have to agree the Steelers didn't out play the Seahawks. The Seahawks gave that game away. Rothlesburger (sp?) had QB rating near 20 gods sake.

I never mentioned the refs either............ guilty conscience?

Teams play bad (less-than-good) games for a reason....... usually it has to do with the personality and the ability of the opponent. TRUST ME! High-level football competition is much like the high-level prize fight game (boxing). It's all about STYLES. Seattle's style of playing that particular game, dictated by the coaching staff, just did not relate well to the Steeler's plan. TRUST ME.

Baloney........ in this Pittsburgh case, Kielbassi!

The Seahawks played a tough game. I like those guys. The coach acted like a horse's *SS with his comments after the game, though.

Rothlesburger (sp?)

If you had a real brain in your head and were using it, you would look up Ben's name and not resort to that lame "(sp?)"

Now.......... go in the corner for about an hour. Your a good fellow/lady.

Absolutely. I thought you were another conspiracy theorist, sorry 'bout that.

The real difference in the game is which members of the team were playing poorly. Both defenses played well, both coverage sections of special teams played well, both return sections of special teams did OK, the difference was in the offense. For Seattle the QB played well and nobody else really did, for Pitt the QB played horribly but the rest of the offense played well. It's easier for 10 to overcome the problems of 1 than vice versa, hence the Steelers won.
