Reality Check, It is unbelievable to me that there are Seattle fans that actually believe they won the game and equally unbelievable that a respected great coach like Mike H. would do this much whining, he started at half-time. How much confidence do you have in your team if you begin making excuses at half-time. The Seahawks had many opportunities and failed to cash them in. As far as the turn over ratio that the Henchman uses as hard evidence for his Oliver Stone conspiracy theory, look at the tapes, one of those interceptions because of its depth and quick defense, functioned as punt. The Steelers were also uncharacteristically quick-scorers on offense which altered time of posession. The holding call was Bogus, but there was a face mask (five yarder) uncalled on that play. The PI in the endzone was consistant with the season. Anytime a WR has straightened his arm out on a DB and altered his pursuit it HAS BEEN CALLED. Michael Irving who made a living assaulting DB's is hardly the source I would use to bolster an argument. The block below the waste was also Bogus, but, it has been called several times this year and on Big Ben when a QB attempts to tackle and someone stumbles over them it should not be BBWaiste. Good teams win the games they are supposed to and thats what Seattle did all year. Great teams overcome adversity (injuries/bad calls) and win SuperBowls and that is what the Pittsburgh Steelers DID
that is not an argument."Good teams are supposed to win game despite..." It is not their job to play against a good Steeler team and the refs. One or the other is fine, but not both!
This diehard Seahawk fan congratulates the Steelers. Your team and organization are classy and you won. The officiating was what it was...nobody's fault except the refs.
I understand why the Steeler's fan feel the need to stick around here and defend their team, I would too had the Seahawks stolen the Super Bowl.
The fact of the matter is that the Steeler's fans are in the minority on this one, the press, most non-steeler fans, and generally all outside observers agree that the officials borked it. Give it a rest Steel City and enjoy your team, the one that will go down in history as the team that didn't earn the trophy.
