Looked like the WWF out there tonight!!! I don't care for either team... and if a Steeler win will help Swann in Nov. then I'm all for it but damn if the fix wasn't in!
It's not a question of a "fix," but of refs predisposed to a certain outcome looking more closely at one team than the other, and calling ticky-tack fouls that change the outcome of the game. The Hawks are the new kids on the block as far as post-season play is concerned, so the refs are more likely to think they don't belong, and more likely to throw flags against them.
Agreed. We can always look at this as a Swann matter. That works for me.
Politics made it impossible for me to pull for a Seattle team - but for the ridiculous calls. Oh well, alls well that ends well.
