[Cowboy Junkie]

I was actually poking fun at your error in the title.... ;)

[kojak]

I felt the questionable calls came when Seattle had momentun. None was more bigger than the holding Penalty when it appeared that Seattle had first and goal inside the 5 at the start of the 4th quarter.

That penalty right there was a big momentum swift that decided the ball game IMO.

[wood28]

100% Yes

[AmericasTeam]

Will forever be overshadowed by the poor officiating.

[maxsports]

The field goal should have been a touch down. I could not believe the ref called the offensive pass interference. I have seen push offs much more obvious that didn't get called. Right there, if the Seahawks score a touchdoen you never know what the difference might have been.

I hope when the Cowboys win there next SB it will not be like this....
I know you can not blme Pitt...And I would expect there fans to enjoy it but it has to take a little something away...

[gbrittain]

Jeramy Stevens the Seahawks TE had a clear fumble which was called an incomplete pass.

No conspiracy, I am sorry to say. Pittsburgh was clearly they better team, and yes I wanted Seattle to win.

That was a fumble you are correct , but if seatle recovers it is 1st and goal from the ten yard line and if Pitt recovers they have the ball at the ten and not where they got it (The 20)...
That was 3rd down and then it was 4th

Bottom line up front: If Dallas had just been Pittsburgh in this scenario, we would all be praising the Cowboys and calling others trolls who were alleging conspiracy, agendas, or lucky we won because of officiating.

Pittsburgh won, end of story. Dallas lost the Superbowl against the Colts because of a bad call. It happens, you overcome or you lose plain and simple.

If you think the NFL is rigged quit watching. You are wasting your time.

I know and agree, but dont tellme Pittsburgh was clearly they better team .. no way!

[bbgun]

I've never seen a team get screwed out of so many big plays. Did Pitt get called for holding once?

[gbrittain]

I guess we will just have to disagree.

The AFC is clearly a better conference right now than the NFC.

Pittsburgh took care of Cincy, Indy, and Denver on the road.

Seattle beat Wash, and Carolina and lost to Pittsburgh. Big whoop as far as I am concerned.

That ball rolled out of bounds, no? So, Seattle 1st down at the 10 if it's called a fumble?

[DWAREZ]

No way :eek:

the seahawks did not play against Cincy or Denver .... how you know if they are better or worse? by the way they win vs Indy. thats no sense to me

[Derinyar]

I'd say what it came down to is this, the Steelers gadget plays worked, and worked well.

Pittsburg only really drove the ball once, in the way people want to credit them with being able to.

I saw a match between two very even teams decided by about 5 plays. Yes, penalties had a huge effect on the outcome of this game, but one should expect that in a close football game.

[punchnjudy]

Nobody here is a Seattle fan. It doesn't matter how good a team they are or how many mistakes they made. The bottom line is that in its biggest game of the season the NFL officiating crew looked like they belong in pop warner. That's not just the reaction here - from what I've seen on the net and heard on the radio, that's pretty much the reaction nationwide.

Also, say what you want about Seattle's ineptitude/missed opportunities/blah blah blah...let the Cowboys receive that many "breaks" from the zebras and I'll bet heavily on them against any team in the league. period. To my eyes, Pittsburgh looked every bit as unimpressive as Seattle. Overall, they had as much or more trouble moving the ball as Seattle and their QB was anything but super. The only difference was their big plays weren't called back.

[ratpower]

Horrible officiating. The non-hold by the tackle, the ghost hold on special teams, the TD taken away, the TD that never was, the personal foul against Hasselback for tackling the ball carrier???....does anyone else see a pattern?

It took the fun out of the game and made it painful to watch...

[wood28]

seriously I think that this was the worse and more shameful sb that I have seen.

[ratpower]

Agreed....:shake:

officiating, and play on the field-wise

[SacredStar]

The field goal should have been a touch down. I could not believe the ref called the offensive pass interference. I have seen push offs much more obvious that didn't get called. Right there, if the Seahawks score a touchdoen you never know what the difference might have been.

Basically, if you watch the replays, he had to push off to gain some separation because he was being mugged. That ref could have called PI on the DB seconds before he called PI on the WR. The ref chose to charge the offense instead of the defense. It's sad, but sometimes things go that way.

There is a petition going around about the officiating in the league being biased all season long. I am in no way associated with this but if anyone wants to sign it, heres the url......

It was probably started by a Redskin fan.;)
