Re: NFL Says SB Properly Officiated!

Please, some of you are acting like Seattle played a great game and had the game stolen from them by the refs.

Can anyone honestly say the Seahawks played a better overall game than the Steelers?

-Seattle was 5/17 on 3rd downs (29%) compared to the Steelers who were 8/15 (53%)

-Seattle was penalized 7 times for 70 yards compared to the Steelers who were penalized 3 times for 20 yards.

Yes some of the calls were iffy.

The push off in the endzone was iffy but hey, he did clearly push off so it really wasn't a horrible call.

The only outright horrible call I saw was the low block on Hasselbeck. You can argue about the holding calls, some were legit, some weren't, but those types of calls are made all season. How many phantom holding calls did we see this year both for us and against us??

Ben's TD was a very close call that could have went either way. I don't think anybody can say with 100% confidence that he did or didn't get in.

-Seattle missed 2 FG's.

-Jerramy Steven's 4 dropped passes caused several drives to stall out.

-Hasselbeck's INT in the 4th quarter killed any chances the Seahawks had of coming back.

-The Steelers scores boiled down to 3 key plays. Willie Parker's 75 yard run, Roethlisberger's 37 yard pass to Ward on 3rd and 28, Randle El's reverse toss for a TD. There wasn't any "ref interference" on any of these plays, the Steelers simply made these big plays when needed and Seattle couldn't stop them.

As some have already said, complaining about the refs is what losers do. Once the dust settles on this whole thing, the Seahawks only have themselves to blame and they know it.
