I will guarantee this; if the teams had been wearing opposite uniforms, and the calls against the Hawks had been called against the Steelers, the Steeler fans would be every bit as "whiny" as the Seahawk fans.
Wouldn't have to; even if those same calls had gone against the Steelers, we still woulda won. ;o) Heh, heh, heh...
Knowing Pittsburgh, it would have been a lot more than whining.
Not any Steelers fan that's been a fan for a while. When the league apologized to us FOUR times in one season for blown calls that cost the team the game (and with those four games a playoff birth) Cowher said it best "we shouldn't have been in a position to lose the games because of the calls". That's the mantra of Steelers fans to bad calls.
And as for bad calls let's not forget the Seahawks fumble that was ruled an incomplete pass, nothing but Steelers near the ball, it's our ball if that's called correctly. Bad calls go both ways, deal with it.
You're going to hear a lot more "whining" in the days to come on sports radio call-in shows-and just like this thread, it won't all be from Seattle fans.
