How does it feel to win a championship? I was like 2 when Marino was in it. So Old Tymers what does it feel like?
Totally agree. If I were a Seahawks fan right now, I'd be appologizing to my wife for throwing my TV through the front bay window and uttering enough obsenities to make a construction crew blush. In past superbowls refs obviously just let the game happen and the outcome determined by the players. The saying stands true, the less you hear from the refs, the better the game they called. I can't recall a SB where so many crucial, and I mean FREAKING CRUCIAL, calls absolutely shifted the momentum, field position and outright score of the game. Obviously the most disgraceful of all (notwithstanding the BR TD call; the pylon kick that didn't get noticed for a TD; the push off call) was the sequence in which the Seahawks completed a pass down to the one yard line, from which Alexander would most certainly have punched it in with his goaline nose, only to have it called back on a phantom holding call. Let me tell you something, when your calling a superbowl, if you don't see the OL literally haul the DL to the ground with a handfull of jersey, you look the other way. For cryin out loud you've got to let them play ball. Then, to make matters worse (following the subsequent INT that never should have happened), they call an illegal block on a QB who MADE THE TACKLE! He made the freaking tackle and they call him with an illegal block! How the hell can one person do both? Rediculous. To be honest with you, I had absolutely no dog in this fight one way or the other (didn't bet; don't like either team; etc.), but it made me sick to see a SB come down to this. I feel bad for both teams. The Steelers can't walk away with a true sense that they won the game outright by outplaying the other team, and the Seahawks can't walk away knowing that had they just executed a little better they wouldv'e won. Both teams were cheated by officials. Not the way it's suppose to be.realdolphin said:I´ve seen 10 min ago one of the most disgraceful sb wins in history , i don´t know if it was meant to be or not , but the referees just blew this one out from the start , pitt did´nt play a good game but the calls just gave them the win .
