Man, I was robbed ! With 10 seconds left in the 1st half, the power went out in our neighborhood. The wife heard two loud pops. I'm guessing a transformer blew. The power was restored at 10:30 pm, just in time to see the post game show end.

Where was FEMA? /s

Congrats to the Steelers.

[The Foolkiller]

Bite me, a$$^*%e. I meant what I said-unlike you, I don't bullshit. You & your friends here have shown many FReepers that a lot of Pittsburgh fans are true scum. Thanks for opening our eyes to that.

[Petronski]

Namecalling and vulgarity are two sure signs that you are losing.

[TheBigB]

You & your friends here have shown many FReepers that a lot of Pittsburgh fans are true scum.

Just like with imaginary officiating conspiracies, your opinion matters not one teeny-weeny bit, scooter.

When was that? I must've missed that part of the "entertainment" (thankfully).

[NavyCanDo]

One of those games where the Stats tell a whole different story. If I was to wake up Monday morning and read the stats and not the score - SEATTLE WON, and if it wasn't for those bad calls, they would of. I vote for the Men in Stripe at the Steelers MVP.

And I just saw them say how Pitt shut down 4 of the highest scoring offense's in football.

[Hatteras]

"The Steelers won. The Seahawks couldn't get it together and the Iron Curtain was intact. Even though there were a few bad calls, the Steelers WON the Superbowl!"

My take? Glad you asked... ;-)

Worst SB I've seen in a long time. Good commercials though.

Bad calls all around....

TE Stevens catch and fumble early on, Al Michaels and John Madden asleep at the wheel

Randel-El writhing in pain after a devastating hit and we are treated to one obscure replay and no mention of Randel-El until he shows up in the game an hour later

Michaels and Madden asleep at the wheel

Jackson pushing off in the end-zone? Yeah, but not atypical of all receiver/DB contact all year long

Big Ben was stopped on review of the tape and the line judge didn't signal until Big Ben pulled the ball out from underneath himself and placed it over the line after he had been knocked down

Michaels and Madden? Snore...

All week we here Porter talking trash and he didn't even bother to show up for the game. Steel curtain was not intact at all. They were fortunate that Jeremy Stevens had steel fingers and the Seahawks had some unfortunate, some questionable - some not-so-questionable calls at the most inopportune moments.

I got a sneaking suspicion that both teams burned themselves out just getting to the Super Bowl but they did get there and the Steelers won. Congratulations to Cowher and Ward Hines. Both good guys

...and Hines had an adorable little guy with him up on the podium after the game

[winodog]

I should have added "in the playoffs"

So it does not suprise me that Seattle had trouble scoring.

[winodog]

I bet they would have some super games if they went to one week instead of two after the championship.

[Broker]

Having not watched pro game in 10 years or more, I was SHOCKED at the Officials. The fix for the Steelers was in and implemented at every opportunity... The Seabirds were very courteous in accepting their role.

I will gladly go another 10 years without watching these overpaid media made puppets butt heads.

[Arkinsaw]

I think somebody better call you a Waaahhhhmbulance.

You are funny. Imagine for a moment that I'm not a liar and am not the lone Arkansas Seahawk fan, and that I'm really a Dallas and Denver fan like I have been saying.

Imagine for a moment that I really don't care about either the Steelers or the Seahawks just as I have said.

Imagine that I'm just giving my neutral interpretation of the game.

That would make your responses seem pretty pathetic. Sort of like you would make up stuff about the messenger to make them seem untrustworthy rather than deal with others opinion of what happened.....to make you feel better.

Go ahead and call everybody who saw the refs ruin that game a crying Seahawk fan. I really don't care. There are a lot of people this morning who have an asterisk next to this game and its going to stay that way no matter what names you throw at 'em. You should really be upset with the refs who ruined this and not me.

[NavyCanDo]

Thanks for that post. It's nice to see you don't have to have a Washington state bias to see that those bad calls swung the momentum from Going Seattle's way to Pittsburgh's.

[andyland]

Their are lies, damned lies and statistics.

The only stat that mattered was the final score.

[WestCoastGal]

This will probably be the longest 6 days in history!!

[SouthTexas]

LOL, it seems to get worse every year.

[Echo Talon]

I Echo what you and Highlander said. Even if the Hawks still had lost, the score should have been 21-20.

No, Randel El's TD reallt shouldnt have happened. That was off the Hasselbeck Int. that should have never happened. The ball should have been 1st and goal at the 1-2 yard line for the Seahawks. -11 points for Steelers +14 for Seattle
Score should have been Seattle 21-24 Steelers 10

[dinoparty]

I guess it had nothing to do with the piss poor coaching by Holmgren, especially at the end of each half? Or the fact that Hasselback through a horrible interception at the key point of the game?

[Echo Talon]

OK, so the Steelers either kick the FG, run it in on 4th down, or get stopped. End result? Final score 17-10, 21-10, or 14-10. Seattle loses. Why fuss about the TD? Don't say it 'demoralized' Seattle. If it did, they deserve to lose.

No lets add up the real points. Seattle scored a FG 3 points.
Scored a TD(that was overturned on a POS call) 7 points
Stevens TD catch 7 points
The pass to the 1-2 yard line that would have been 1st & goal. 3-7 points. And with that play you have to subtract 7 points from the Steelers because that randel el TD was off the turnover from that drive(Hasselbeck INT because the holding call made it like 3rd and 18 if holding would have been called Seattle would have kicked off)so...

20-24 points for Seattle and 10-17 points for Steelers

[beyond the sea]

You all look like poor sports and sore losers. Which is exactly what you are.
