Something i haven't seen mentioned.

HMc · 02-06-2006, 11:41 PM

Hasselbeck sacked at about 12:00 in the 4th.

Haggans a mile offside.

This leads them to 2nd and long, where they run Alexander for not much.

3rd and Long, Hasselback throws it to Taylor, and then the blocking call.

The last point has been done to death but i haven't seen anyone discuss that it came from a non call on an offside linebacker. They call that and it's a 15 yard turn around, and the INT, and hence crazy block doesn't happen.

Pittsburgh jumped offside about 4 or 5 times to no flag, it wasn't a rare occurance.

That Alexander play was a horse collar tackle too. Which I have no problem letting slide, except they turned right around and called another ticky-tack foul just like that on Hasselbeck for the "illegal block".

HMc · 02-06-2006, 11:45 PM

Mecca,

True, but 2 minutes after this randle el throws the deep pass to ward, and the game is over.

Hell, that was the second half alone. They did it the first half numerous times as well. But if the Refs aren't gonna call it, do you really blame them?

Mecca · 02-06-2006, 11:47 PM

The game just felt like they weren't gonna let Seattle win.........atleast that was the feeling I had.

HMc · 02-06-2006, 11:50 PM

Basically they call that offside and the Hawks are in a position to go up on the board. They don't, the hawks retreat thanks to the sack and the QB is pressured into a bad play.

Basically, significant ref error lead to the hawks not getting at least 3 points, and the steelers getting field postion to score 7.

That entire series of events was a horrible mix of no-calls and bad calls. From the non call on offsides, to the non call on the horse collar, to the subsequent bullshit call on Hasselbeck's tackle.

Same one I had about the Indy-Pitt game. Thought the refs were gonna give the game to Indy, but Pitt overcame it...

Pitt wasn't going to be denied this title. It was obvious.

Kinda like New England 4 years ago.....I hate the Raiders, but the Raiders beat them in the AFC Championship. And St. Louis beat them in the SB. Only to have the refs steal the game for the Patriots, both times.

This is the game that is always going to remembered as the crappy officiated one more than anything else. Now if any Steeler fan brings up this game they'll get "ah that game where you guys got the breaks?"

This Superbowl isn't gonna be remembered for any great performances by players that's for sure.......
