GO PACK!

Gee...I wonder where they got that idea.

Well I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I stopped there because that is all the further I needed to read. It was a poll of people who probably dont even understand the calls in the first place and/or people who are emotionally attached to one of the teams or they hate one of the teams.

Yeah idiots like John Madden who said after one big play (I believe the pass to the Steelers 1 yard line) was called back "when you see a big play like that called back for X, you like to, you know, actually see some." He might have said that after the "offensive pass interference" TD that was called back, I just remember the funny Maddenism.

Stop blaming the refs.

The ref admitted to effecting the outcome of the game and stated he had nightmares about it, LOL. If that doesn't prove the refs blew calling the game I don't know what does. To say it was up to the team to win between bad calls you have to not know which calls are in question and what kind of point swing they resulted in. You and John both are saying it was up to the Seahawks to win the game between the bad calls that resulted in the Steelers winning. That isn't the case. Any game could have the outcome changed with the number and severity of the bad calls involved in that Super Bowl. Examples are the Steelers getting a questionable TD on a qb dive, a Hawks TD called back on offensive pass interference that was highly controversial (almost exact same contact on a Steelers TD not called back), a Hawks pass to the 1 called back on holding that nobody saw in the replay (resulted in a field goal), a 15 yard penalty on a quarterback MAKING A TACKLE for "low blocking" after an interception, and there are others. Big screw ups on big plays that admittedly effected the outcome of the game according to the head ref on the field.

This post is my last in this thread. I will let you get back to your mindless Rah Rah Steelers programming.

If you're playing such a half assed game that the refs can even conceivably affect the outcome than you shouldn't be in the game. So at some point you've got to own up to a few failures of you're own.

Beyond that blaming everyone but yourself for your failures is just plain cheesy.

Life isn't always fair. Deal with it crybabies.

If Pittsburgh loses tonight they'll only have themselves to blame.

Congratulations to the World Champion Packers!

You guys played a hell of a game and gave us a hell of a show.

Clay Matthews...dude you rock!
