Who else thinks Perrera's got some 'splainin to do this week?
 

Can't wait to here what the head of officials has to say this week. I wasn't really rooting for either team just wanted to see a close game. 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.

Worst officiated Super Bowl I have ever witnessed....

What needs 'splainin' is why you are still allowed to post on this board.

No.

Seattle had a chance to take the lead and blew it.

Then their defense blew it.

Game over.

What about the hog tie tackle of Stevens a couple of plays after that BS holding call to get the ball to the 2 yard line?

Disagree..the refs screwed them out of taking the lead on a phantom O pass interference and a phantom holding call.

Not to mention the fact that their O was completely non-existant. Seattle looked flat. Period. They have noone to blame but themselves...

Besides... I thought it was illegal to make that kind of tackle anymore. Even though I've seen it done numerous times after the rule was put into effect, I've never seen it called.

Remember this? :hmmm: :hmmm:

The refs did not decide the game. It was 14-10 and then Seattle's defense gave up the long TD pass.

It was those two UT defensive players fault.

Seattle had chances to win that game and didn't... they had an INT deep in Pit territory and missed 2 FG's. I thought the PI call was ticky tack though for sure, which has been par for the course in these playoffs. Probably one of the worst officiated playoff seasons I can remember. I don't think it was quite Super Bowl quality officiating out there, but what can ya do.

There are few things funnier than a Broncos troll bitching about lopsided officiating.

Gift wrapped from the start.....

ROFL

No that O-PI that took away a TD had no bearing on the game or the phantom holding call that negated a 1st and goal on the 2 yd line. :rolleyes:
