This is for ALL of you posting in this forum.
I can't tell you how DISAPPOINTED I am reading this nonsense. This is the same kind of garbage I hear from democrats who talk about Bush's poll numbers after he won the election.
The Steelers won the Super Bowl. The officials didn't hand them ANYTHING. They outcoached and outplayed the Seahawks. What's wrong with all of you? Pittsburgh may be a "democrat" city but it's a VERY conservative place and this nonsense about officials blowing it is frankly making me think we've just become a nation of whiners.
If Seattle wanted this game badly enough, MAYBE they would have managed the clock better at the end of the first half and the end of the game. Shaun Alexander ran 93 yards to nowhere. It wasn't a blowout and the game didn't end on a 1 yard touchdown run. It was a team effort for the full 60 minutes.
I am a PROUD Steelers fan, ALWAYS. We are a force to be reckoned with for years, we are losing the Bus but our core remains intact.
The ONLY stat that counts, Steelers 21. Seahawks 10.
Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl XL Champs.
Wait till the Steelers win again next year. :)
In the same way, you're looking at the game through black and gold colored glasses. Your team won. You hate to see the slightest doubt cast on the outcome. You want your team to be acknowledged as the best in the world. You don't want anyone to tarnish what happened.
As a Pats fan, congratulations. Your guys won. You're the champs. Yay. You'll get the parade and the rings, and if I know the NFL schedule makers, quiet possibly the New England Patriots at home on opening night next year. Great job. Enjoy the offseason until then. Wear your Ben Roth jersey with pride. Wave that terrible towel.
But please, don't tell me I didn't see what my own eyes saw. That game was ridiculous. This entire playoff season has been ridiculous. All due to grossly poor officiating. We were simply discussing our opinions. Sorry to "disappoint" you.
Well stated my friend! This is a fantastic win for the Steelers and a wonderful victory for the city of Pittsburgh. We have the greatest fans of any city, of any sport! I am so proud of this team. This win brings the whole city, indeed all of western PA together. The Steelers did it the hard way and no matter how you slice it, they are WINNERS!
i see it this way. the steelers deserve the ring, but the refs really stunk the place up. what they did blemished the whole game. there were at least 4 horrible calls against seattle (5 if you include the one that was overturned). seattle couldn't play past the bad calls. it's tough when you have to do that and beat the steelers at the same time.
Well said. The Seahawks lost because they didn't play the edgy-type football that wins games.
The Seahawks lacked that "je ne sais quoi" quality that made the viewer go, Yes!
He also had a funny commercial on local Pittsburgh TV. He hawks the product, then another guy comes out and Ben asks, How'd I do? The guy says, It was OK, but don't quit yer day job.
