1-He did quite a few drops but he did catch a TD and a 1st down at the 1yd line that got called back on what I think was the worst call of the game. After that BS call, Hasselbeck trying to make a play the team had aready made tries to thread the needle and instead throws a pick. Hines Ward had a few drops to. Difference was they didn't screw him on the ones that really counted.
2- If you look at that play again, his left is in bounds he makes the catch and touches the pylon with his right foot before stepping out of bounds. Another missed call IMO that wasn't even reviewed. Don't worry about it refs, it's only the SB.
3-Can't argue that one. Jackson pushes off and got called. It was a weak call but it was the right one.
4-Their gameplan was solid going into the game. They beating the crap out of the Steelers D and they were doing it without Alexander and had them on their heels. I attribute the breakdown in the play calling on the BS Burger TD. I was upset at how the game was being called...I can only imagine what kind of distraction this was for Holmgren and his team.
5-Alexander had 20 carries for 95yds on a team that was behind 3 qtrs. WTF did you want them to do? And like I stated earlier, the Seahawks had the superior gameplan at the beginning of the game whether or not they under used Alexander or not what they were doing was working.
6&7-There is no denying that the Steelers made some plays. The Burger on 3 and 28 was a great play that'll we'll see for as long as we watch football. I'm not arguing they didn't make plays. I just wish the refs would have let the game play out the way it should have. It would have been a much better game.
8-They turned one of them into 7 points.
9-I already told what I think happend. Holmgren was furious going into halftime. I think that Burger TD and challenge really affected his decision making...he lost his cool. Again, the refs really had a big part in shaping the outcome of this game. We can go back and forth all day. All I'm saying is the refs F'ed the game up big time. It could have gone either way, and I'm not sure the Steelers don't win it anyway but you can't sit there and tell me the refs didn't wig out.
