Hoyt03 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Its early in the superbowl and the refs are at it again. I am not fans of either team so am looking at this in a neutral situation. The refs are giving the seahawks the shaft so far. Take away a touchdown for a ticky tack pushing call in which the guy barley touched him, and then on a big punt return call it back for a weak hold call. then Big ben didnt break the plain but they say touchdown. Things look very one sided so far, I just hate to see a games outcome be determined by questionable calls made by officials, especially when they are hesiatant about making them. Just rediculous.

VABuckSlayer Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I don't think Ben crossed the line with the ball either. It was close but the ball didn't cross. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again Hey another good one. Should have been 1st and goal seahwaks at the 1, but they called it back for a holding call that didnt even occur, even madden didnt see it. Two plays later Hasselback throws a pick, unbelievable, and then they call a penalty on him that shouldnt have been called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Chief Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I am not a fan of either. While I can see a couple calls, the refs did not affect: 2 field goals missed over 50. Horrible time management at half time. Dropped balls. How about the block in the back on Ben on the interception return. Good game overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again For penalties, the Seahawks had 7-70 yards and the Steelers had 3 for 30 yards. That one after the pick on Hasselbeck was a horrible call. I wasn't cheering for anyone but didn't see many against the Steelers that I questioned.

VABuckSlayer Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again Looked to me as if Seattle had to play 2 teams last night... Pittsburg and the refs. They didn't stand a chance. All them Steeler fans in the seats and the refs helping too. All I had to do is watch a few calls to know how this game was going to turn out. EVERYBODY wanted to see the BUS go out on top in his home town. Well... it happened. Honestly I'm happy to see that but the game was poorly called by the refs!

buckbuster11 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again The pass interference call is one you can usually get away with but it happened right in front of the official. They have to call that. As for Bens TD run I thought it clearly broke the plane of the goal everytime I saw the replay, either way it was to close to overturn it. Seattle got away with one on the INT return when Ben got blocked in the back. The holding call on Seattle right before Taylors INT was a horrible call I will admit that, but what are you going to do. You have to overcome those things, the Steelers got shafted a lot more in Indy and were able to overcome that. Thats just how it goes. Seattle has plenty of other things to blame.

Chrud Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I agree with Eric. I didn't think Ben broke the plane. It was close, but it looked like his shoulder got there and then he was knocked back. There were a few calls against Seattle that didn't look like penalties. I thought the MVP would be the Refs.

Master_Chief Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I just wish we could have a game where we didn't even talk about the refs. Don't think it is going to happen in my lifetime though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again Seattle had a couple bad calls go against them, but they choked. I wanted them to win also, but they did. The Steelers were the better team last night, but I do not think they are 90% of the time. I am glad they got a ring though, cause I have always found Cowher {sp} entertaining and he seems like a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I think the Seahawks beat themselves. Horrible clock management at the end of both halfs. To many dropped passes. I think the only thing Stevens caught all night was that TD. You have the league MVP and you only give him 20 carries. In a game like that he needs 25-30 IMO. Steelers didn't play much better, but they made the plays when the needed to. The flag on Hasselback was a bad call. The holding call, since when is it legal to drag the DE down to the ground? I saw clear holding, but then again I am not as gifted a Madden at spotting them(sarcasm alert). The pass interference was ticky-tacky penalty. He did extend his arm on the push off which will get called everytime on the offense. Seahawks shot themselves in the foot 1 to many times.

muggs Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again That pass interference call was BS, even you Steeler's guys have to admit that, if you can't you're in Denile. But like MC said, the Seahawks didn't execute either, so you can't say the ref were completely to blame...that being said, I would have liked to see the game called fair, I think it would have led to one of the best Super Bowl games ever, probably a 17-14, last second field goal finish. Good for Cowher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again Definitely not one of the better SBs to watch. Hope next year is more exciting. The offensive interference call was horrible, but even so, the Seahawks still could have won the game with better judgement and execution. It's been a long, long time for Steeler fans and especially Cowher, so glad for him. Hats off to the Steeler organization for standing behind their long time coach. Most would've got rid of him long ago. Real happy for Hines Ward (Bettis also). Hines is one of the toughest receivers in the game and he stepped it up in a big game when his QB was having a bad day. He definitely deserved the MVP. I think the Seahawks will be back another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I agree both teams did play pretty bad, the hawks got a sure td called back and a 1st and goal on the one called back for ? calls. Should have went to atleast OT if that bozo could make a field goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I thought they both played like crap. I thought there were questionable calls, and no calls both way. Ben didn't cross the plane before he was down. He reached the ball over after he was down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtBowhunter Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Re: Here we go again I've seen the Tivo in freeze frame, and the point of the ball DOES sneak over the line for a split second.....Ben's shoulder get's hit first, and that causes his arm to shoot forward and he pulls it right back.......TOUCHDOWN. The offensive P.I. call was a good call. You can't put your hand on a DB's chest and then extend......that's a pushoff, and a no-no. From all the coverage I've been watching on this game, almost everyone is in total agreement that the better team won. Hines Ward was definately the MVP. For those of you that weren't Steeler fans........do you really feel the need to ruin this for the real Fans? Shows what kind of class you have if you do.
