Official Super Bowl thread....

I was actually rooting for the Stealers. Not anymore.

what do you guys think of the holding call that negated Stevens big catch at the 1? I thought it was holding...Madden didn't so.

The defense was offsides, as they have been numerous times during the game with no call.

Well - looks like the Fat Steelers Lady is getting ready to sing.

running will be heavily featured.

I have lost a lot of respect for the NFL as a whole. Every big and questionable call went the Steelers way, that is no coincidence.

The NFL wants Bettis to win the championship, therefore he will. This game was fixed and theres no doubt about that. I have lost all my respect for the NFL.

The clock hit 0!!!!!!!!!!! Screw these shitty referees!

 

[Buckeye86]

another bad call, no way did they get the time out before the delay of game

 

[scarletngrey11]

The Steelers O-line has been holding all game. Have the Steelers had only one penalty other than false starts?

 

[BuckeyeKid789]

Congrats refs, you gave Pitt their Super Bowl! How does it feel to screw us over? And I gaurantee you the media won't say anything about it either.

3rd quarter - 9:50... Hines Ward pushes off of the DBs head, with no flag. Nothing like the pinky push by the Seahawk WR in the end zone.

3rd quarter - Broth scramble before the punt (3:50ish), the right tackle gets beaten badly by the DE, so he just locks onto his arm. No flag. (and then they throw a flag for a much lighter hold on the hasselback completion to the 2 yard line).

too bad the reffing has been so one sided. I thought I was going to have trouble deciding who to root for, b/c I like Ben and the Bus. Cheapens the efforts of both teams.

And now Seattle has to waste their last challenge because the refs are incapable of noticing that Hasselback was down by contact thanks to the shirt grab.

I wonder if the Seahawks will say anything about the officiating after the game. That first offensive pass interference was absolutely a putrid call along with a few others that had big impacts on the momentum of the game.

 

[NFBuck]

Conspiracy theories abound.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Fuck the NFL. How can one respect the league if the refs are screwing the same team EVERY time. The Steelers could be playing with machetes right now and nothing would happen.

 

[BuckeyeKid789]

Game over. Fudge you, refs!

 

[scarletngrey11]

Another no call on that Big Ben run. The DB was turned around and the WR had him by the jersey.

I'm somewhat impartial, I couldn't care less who wins. But this refereeing is the worst pro refing I've seen hands down. Sucked donkeys. Congrats Pittsburgh.
