This looks like a thread from a Seahawks fan who was sad that his team lost. I, as an anti-Seahawks fan, thought the game was fine. Not very exciting, but at least BOTH teams had their fair share of bad calls.

$10 is a lot of money for me. So $30 bucks makes you rich. That really sucks that you lost it.

It was a decent enough game, I liked last years game alot more, asa whole my family (step-dad, mom, myself) lost $750 on it.
Not because the team we bet for lost or anything, we had the Steelers winning ever since the Colts lost, but because we participate in a "score grid" thing, where the last number in the score for each team allows you to win money depending on the score at the end of the quarter.
If that damned trick touchdown hadn't happened, and the Steelers only kicked a field goal than we would have had $5k.

I used to do score grid I never won.
This was my second Superbowl. It didn't compare to New England and Carolina at all. In all though, the Steelers won...even though some calls were touchy.
Seattle had 6 more first downs than Pittsburg, almost 60 more total yards than Pitt, had a 7 minute advantage on time of possession, and still lost. Also Seattle had 7 penalties for 70 yards while Pitt had 3 for 20. Doesnt look like the calls were going both ways to me.
Yes it does, but I got 20 coming to me from a college basketball game, so its not gonna hurt my broke ass that much.Ouch. That really sucks.
Obviously, since both teams didn't get the same amount of penalties, the refs are corrupt! I mean, that should never happen, right? Who's heard of one teaming actually committing more penalties for more yards than another?Seattle had 6 more first downs than Pittsburg, almost 60 more total yards than Pitt, had a 7 minute advantage on time of possession, and still lost.

read my post, I plainly say I was not a Seahawk fan, though I was routing for em - and as I said, I am a Vikings fan used to dissapointment.
Not a fan by an volation. I just wanted a good clean football game, and was robbed. Definatley bad calls on both ends (Seaducks and Stealers). I feel that the biggest inmpact was on the higlighted calls and uncalls vs. the seaducks.
My anger was not towards anyteam (save for the stealers <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> eating grins - which was just more of an inuslt upon injury thing) just the general interference of the MVP refs.

It was pretty frustrating to watch. The Super Bowl is supposed to be dazzling football, and the teams are supposed to be good enough to not be caught up in officiating technicalities. Man, give me that Rose Bowl back any day. The last decent Super Bowl I remember was Rams v. Titans. The longest yard... man what a finish.
Worst call of the game, on Hasselbecks interception he runs to tackle the guy and he is called for an illegal clipping or something GOING FOR THE TACKLE! Pitt gets the football 15 yards father than when the play ended. I have played and watched football for 13 years and have never seen a call like that. Also on 3rd and 6 the play clock clearly winds down to 0, Big Ben signals the timeout about 2 seconds after the fact, and the official gives it to him, Madden tries to justify the refs and says that its hard for the ref because he has to look at the ball and the clock before he can give the signal, it was a halfassed attempt though. Instead of it being 3rd and 11 it was 3rd and 6, and Steelers convert drive down the field and score their last touchdown.
It was funny how Woody Page and Skip Bayless were killing the refs on 1st and 10 today. I went to an open gym today and everyone was in agreement that the Seahawks got screwed, note that these are non-biased kids from Michigan, who just wanted to see a good game.
I've seen a call like that before. It's illegal to hit a blocker below the knees while going for the ball carrier. It's directly in the rule book. It was a bad call simply because Hasselbeck barely touched the guy, though.Worst call of the game, on Hasselbecks interception he runs to tackle the guy and he is called for an illegal clipping or something GOING FOR THE TACKLE!

I think I saw the officials wearing "For you Bettis" arm bands, could just be my T.V. reception though.
Bad. Just.....bad.
Many thanks Christmas!
