Well, I’m a Seattle fan, live here and have been to a couple games, back in Kingdome days.
And there were a couple calls (or lack of them) today that seemed to benefit Seattle, and I was starting to think “I hope we don’t win this way...”
But Wilson, Lynch, and the receivers made up for that and took the lead.
And the defense hammered it home. Seattle special teams have always been worth watching, but this defense is the best I’ve seen in the NFL in years.
So it wasn’t the purtiest game I ever watched, but both teams played their butts off, and Seattle seized (and deserved) the win!
Seattle really earned the win in the only other Super Bowl they went to but anyone who was watching SB XL knows that the officiating set a new record for stink.
I can’t agree that Seattle deserved to win. The fact that the clear roughing-the-kicker call was downgraded to a running=into-the-kicker call (meaning that Seattle was awarded the ball by the refs) late in the game was a big point in the game. The Bowman (sp?) clear fumble recovery that was called exactly backwards and was “unreviewable” was another turning point.
The refs seemed clearly one-sided in my mind, and I’m afraid that makes a positive close game outcome anything but deserved.
I am not a fan of either team headed to NY for the big game.
