The most incredibly bad call had to be the penalty on Hasselback for tackling the ballcarrier on the interception return.

It would be hard to be a Seahawks fan today, seeing so many bad calls going aganst one team.

:shake:

That was the worst officiated game I believe I have ever seen.

What the hell is a zero beat?

The officiating was definitely all in favor of Pittsburgh. Seattle still didn't deserve to win, though.

I just have a tough time making that judgement considering that every big play that Seattle made was called back on iffy penalties... while several of the mistakes that Pittsburgh made were magically ignored...

The Zero Beat Time Out is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in all of sports in all my life.

Maybe Seattle didn't deserve to win that game. However they made more plays than Pittsburg did, so now what? Pretty tough to win a game opportunities or not when it's 15 on 11, and the extra 4 are holdin the fuckin whistles. What really sucks is the game wasn't decided on the field. This super bowl was a fraud and if it went the other way I'd be here sayin the same thing believe it or don't.

But I'm pretty sure it was the ball-carrier he was going for.

Let alone the momentum killing that goes into those bad calls. It's similar to the Chiefs Giants game earlier this year. There were so many horrible calls against the Chiefs early in the game, that they just looked deflated by the midway point of the 2nd quarter. It is what it is, I'm not going to continue lamenting over it. You have to admit though, that game would've been a lot better had it been FULLY decided by the teams involved, instead of the guys wearing half of Pittsburgs colors.

A horribly officiated postseason capped by the worst-officiated Super Bowl that I remember. (I only remember back to XXIII, though).

People push off like that all the time, and one of the best at it is our own Tony G, but it is still an illegal move, so there's not much point in complaining about an illegal move getting flagged.

Well in that case..........there should be about 12 offensive PI's called per game. Also, Micheal Irvin should have about 10 catches in his career that count.

It's bad enough Seattle left the win out on the field through their own poor execution but they seemed to be battling not only a road type atmosphere but the officiating that comes along with that. Many particular calls i'm interested in:

1. That pushoff call that took away Seattle's 1st TD (c'mon man that didn't interfere with the result of the play)
2. That questionable illegal block on Warricks long punt return (which I don't recall seeing on replay).
3. That bullshit holding call on Stevens long pass reception in the 4th Quarter in what perhaps should've been an offsides call instead.
4. That bullshit touchdown call on Roethlisbergers touchdown
5. That blatant holding call that wasn't called against Pittsburgh on one of Ben's scrambles for a first down in the 2nd half.
6. Another questionable holding call against Seattle in the 1st quarter that took away a completion inside the 20 on 2nd down and led to a punt.

edit: and a couple more I now remember:

7. That bullshit timeout that was awarded to pittsburgh in the 2nd half in what should've been a definite delay of game.
8. That 15 yd penalty against Hasselbeck for an illegal block in what was an obvious attempt at driving through a blocker for a tackle.
9. An obvious horsecollar tackle that wasn't called against Pittsburgh in the 2nd half.

I did not get to watch the game past the half, but the PI in the endzone was correct... He stiffed arm the DB to get away, It might not have effected the play much but it was still a pushoff.. I get pissed that WR's get away with it that much.. If it was reversed, they would have flagged the DB... So the call was correct...

Now I do agree with Bens rushing TD.. He did not get in..

Roeth's TD was a TD. I don't understand complaining about that one.
