While you are correct that I should deal with it and get over it, no way you will ever convince me they earned it. That super bowl was a screw job. Come on now, you can admit it. You'll feel better and still have that ring on your thumb after you do!

I don't think it was a screw job. Look at the bright side, the Seahawks got a higher pick in the draft because of it.

Screw job.

Baaad call on the ref's to allow such a thing ... no way should I consider that game a win.

Stevens at the 1 yard line brought back on a phantom hold and Jacksons TD was a bad call right? Wrong. When an offensive player is behind a defender and impedes his progress ... it's holding. Seattle got caught.

What about that Hasselbeck fumble overruled by the replay official as down by contact? No part of his body was in contact with the ground when he was touched ... that's a fumble but the ball was given back to Seattle.

It went both ways in the shit ref call department ... the officials were bad on both sides.

LOL but Pepper I gotta say that with 4 rings on 4 fingers your right. That 5th ring coulda gone on my thumb just because I'm outta room ... but I think you can see it better if I show it to ya from the index finger of the other hand (mentally insert gif image here

Listen, you are correct about the Steelers making the big plays but saying the calls "went both ways" is laugable. It really is.

That holding call was one of the worst calls I've seen only to be followed by a BS tackling below the waist.

It was a poorly officiated game and 9 out of 10 of the poor calls went against Seattle.

It was also a poorly played game, particularly by the safeties, but that is for another day.

Posted by: Pepper

If you thought that was holding on Locklear, you simply are not being objective. I assume you are just busting my chops b/c otherwise you make some good points.

After the bogus holding call, Hasselbeck threw an interception. When he went to tackle the guy, he was called for "blocking below the waist." Really one of the most unexplainable calls I have ever seen.

Anyway, it put the Steelers at near mid-field, they run the trick play, Bouleware falls down, again..and the rest is history.

Seattle gave up too many big plays for me to say they would have or should have won. However, they deserved better officiating than the NFL gave them.

As for the hold that bonecrusher says was a good call. It was this call that caused the NFL to change the way officials call holding. The competition comittee guy said that they wanted officials to actually see holding before throwing the flag. Wow, interesting concept.

If I sound like a bitter, whiny cry-baby, I am.
