Were their bad calls? Yes. Did some go against Seattle? Sure. Is that why they lost? No. Again I go back to Cowher, if you lose "because" of the refs then you really lost because you put yourself in a position where the refs mattered too much.
I would agree with you, but MOST of the bad calls were all critical calls that overturned scoring possibilities for the Seahawks or gave the steelers second chances to score.
I can take a few bad calls a game, the refs are human, but this is the superbowl, and the refs were horrible and handed the Steelers the game on a silver platter.
The Steelers are a great football team, and while I congratulate them on their victory, this had to be one of the worst officated superbowls I have ever witnessed.
If you wanted the Seahawks to win, they shouldn't have stopped getting first downs in the second quarter.
Steelers win! Yahoooooo!
SD>{?
Most of the calls I hear Seattle fans complaining about were not bad calls. The interference call was a MUST call (he pushed the defender backwards). The hold was a MUST call (he kept the defender from making a sack). Those were critical plays, but they were not bad calls, Seattle players clearly broke the rules in ways that changed the course of the play, that's why those penalties are in the books.
