Refs were bad all year, and throughout the playoffs....and it's no surprise they missed calls in the super bowl....

What does annoy me just a tad is that, understandably, those who were either betting on Seattle, or are fans of Seattle are bitching, yet they are not mentioning a damn thing about the bad calls that went against Pittsburgh....and there were some.

Pitt played thru em and won. Pitt made the big plays, and Seattle did not.

I suggest Seattle bettors and fans look no further than their team's INability to kick field goals, catch passes, and manage the clock as the reason they lost.

By the way, once upon a time, back in Super Bowl XXVI there was an AWFUL offensive pass interference call against Andre Reed, in Washington territory, that not only backed the ball up on the PI, but also caused Reed to take off his helmet and throw it to the ground in disgust, causing another 15 yard personal foul, and effectively causing Buffalo not to score on that drive.

If they had not made that horrible call, Buffalo would have scored a TD on that drive and won the game for sure.

I'm still bitter....

and also kidding.

Geez

The single worst call IMO in superbowl history:mad: OK so I may be a touch bias. Also I'm glad you pointed out Big Ben getting blocked in the back on the int return-I thought I was the only one that saw that.

I bet 90% of those who answered that poll are couch potato's who had money on seattle


if seattle hits the 2 missed FG's and doesn't "shit the bed" in the 2 minute waring of each half


they cover


maybe they even win


They should take a hint from Dr. Lecter and .................. look deep within yourself
