>>>Yep. I can't stand Seattle, and even I think they wuz robbed.<<

Thanks for your honesty. A couple of those "patty cake" calls that went against Seattle were killers.

We still may not have won, but the momentum they sapped was probably the difference.

[flair2000]

While I'm happy for the Bus and Cowher getting their trophy, I must agree that the officiating was horrible. The phantom pass interference call on Darrell Jackson was a travesty, as well as the bogus holding call that negated a first and goal at the one.

[BADROTOFINGER]

No, it isnt. Im a lifetime Seahawks fan, and they simply lost the game. But that offensive pass interference call on DJax TD was a ticky-tack call. The poor clock management (who called that run play, anyhow???) and the drops by Stevens were some of the main killers. And some really poorly timed penalties on Seattle's OLine killed em too. At least they finally made it, and played pretty well too. But they just couldnt put the exclamation point on anything that went right for them, and that cost them the game.

Grats to Pitt, they deserved it...JFK

[derllak]

Sad to say, but yes it was - total bunk!

[dfwgator]

WTF!?! Ripoff from Risky Business.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

(Listens to Boston's "More than a feeling.")

[Colonel_Flagg]

The point is, the hawks didn't play very well either.

I'm looking at a team that outgained its opponent 396-339, had 20 first downs to 14 for their opponents and held the ball for 33 minutes. I don't think Seattle played badly at all.

[pageonetoo]

My wife had a split in the first quarter, and a hit in the 3rd. She comes away with $1125...

I still wanted the Seahawks to win it...

[COEXERJ145]

Sill the Dallas Cowboys rule and they will always remain AMERICA TEAM :)

[highlander_UW]

Just like Gregoire in 'o4 All libs cheat.

Agreed. Every time Gregoire was behind there was a magical supply of votes found to change it...like 8 times!

[skeeter]

I wouldn't mind if Seattle truly got outplayed, but they got outreffed!

You have my sympathy. The deteriorating quality of the officiating over the past decade, as well as the nagging suspicion I have that there are other things besides play determining the outcome of these games, for me has taken most of the joy out of watching pro football.

[Lakeshark]

Nope. 4 points if the call isn't made. Wouldn't have changed the game. there were a lot of bad calls the other way I saw....constant holding by the Hawks not called. Don't know the actual rule of down by contact, or the fumble earlier...lots of bad calls against the Steelers as well.

The others you are simply wrong about. Steelers won the game cause the Hawks didn't finish at the end of the first half.

I really didn't have a dawg in the fight.....had your Hawks made the plays they would have won. Sorry....that's the truth, Hawks didn't finish.

Period.

[j_tull]

the football darlings of the media for decades now.,/i>

Um have you forgotten the beloved Peyton Manning? Since Brady wasn't playing tonight, not a single mention of "how Peyton would have dont it, " from the announcers.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Tradition?

Yeah, rusted out old steel mills and angry union losers in a polluted once important city....

Anyone fool enough to live in a wasted out old shell of a city like that deserves it.

I bet the mullet looks good in the back though.

[MurryMom]

I was only a FG away from having the right score.

Congratulations Mike! I hope you were able to wager a few sheckels on the outcome you predicted.

[derllak]

In football, every call counts and every inch counts. Bad reffing can do a lot of damage.

[Echo Talon]

This kind of stuff is ruining sports. I do not watch football as much as I used to because of stuff like this. And I am not a fan of either of these teams.

I think im done. over 25 years of football and I think thats the last game im going to watch. It has no point, the winner is picked before the coin toss.

[Jrabbit]

I will hold this particular grudge forever! Biggest Cowboy fan in the world...til the trash from Arkansas took over. I'm not popular with my family during football season...but I just can't help it...sigh.

I wasn't for either team tonight....but hubby won a football pool...so, YEA STEELERS!
