Wow, I'm rooting for Pittsburgh all of a sudden.

Seattle fans are NOT impressive in this thread.

Sorry, any decent fan of the game knows that's not a great call. Not the worst... but a bad call, he did touch him, but did he push him off... no way, shape or form. Period.

Heh, whatever. I still felt he pushed a little (arm was slightly flexed when Jackson touched him, then extended)Either way, screaming a "fix" after a call, good or bad, is a quick way to show low class. Not saying that was you, but there's no reason for that.

Who said fix?

It's been implied a few times. And no, I'm not going to call anyone out.

No problem -- but none of the complainers said it was a fix -- not yet ayway!

Not outright, no. It's been implied in two posts. That's what I'm talking about.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Hasselbeck looks good. Throws are *right* on the money.

 

[shakeybarn]

That is the correct call.

What was that... throw the flag 10 seconds after... then figure out if it's a penalty. Let them play... give a warning. Please don't let this SB be decided by officiating...!!!

Huh?You can't just NOT throw flags. Then the game is decided by non-officiating.

They discussed, then made the right call. What's wrong with that?

Just a bit concerned that are anxious to call everything... including some ticky-tack stuff on both sides. I'm not saying the officiating is picking one side vs the other... it's seems my rant is pro-Seattle, but that's because they've had the ball bit... but they are AWFULLY too anxious on the flag right now.

 

[caglassc]

So far, I think the only bad call was the one on Jackson and that probably had more to do witht he angle that the ref had on the play.

 

[SaosiN]

looks like the steelers defense is playing the "bend-but-don't-break" philosophy.. im not feeling good about this at all

 

[BigRed]

SA chippin away. I predict 10-0 halftime score.

Edit: can y'all pls get over the -ing pass int call already, get a room, whatever. cripes

I would be more concerned about the Steelers Offence at this point. The D is steady.

Are you sure you're not looking for something you want to be there?I've seen nothing to suggest anyone calling a "fix"

 

[caglassc]

Catch before you run son....

 

[Keys Myaths]

I could be wrong, but that looked like a catch and fumble.

Oh yes, I'm sure.I don't "want" anything to be there. I could care less about either team, or their fans.

 

[greenroom]

Was close.. for darn sure

 

[fruity pebbles]

I could be wrong, but that looked like a catch and fumble.

I thought so. He had the ball and turned completely around with it in his possession.

 

[roadkill1292]

Agreed, that could easily have gone the other way. That drop was pretty big. 10-0 would've been looming large.

i can't disagree with that..offense has been horrid. 3 and outs..nothing is working like the last 3 games

 

[shakeybarn]

Wow that was close... problem in slo-mo is that it looks like catches like that are in possession.. that's why on officiating reviews they look at it in real-time as well...

That's what I saw, but only in the slow-mo replay.Game speed might have told a different story (no football move, etc.)

 

[The Amalgamated]

Unfortunately in today's NFL that's not a catch -- ridiculous but true.

 

[Redbullvodka]

Seattle is bossing this so far....but only have three points to show for it.

Is that actually a positive for the Steelers (despite the fact they've done nothing on offense?)

 

[caglassc]

Do something Steelers - like a first down.

I think so.But they do have to get something going eventually.

 

[caglassc]

Maybe that will give them so momentum

 

[SaosiN]

i cant believe it.. 20 minutes into the game we get a first down

 

[greenroom]

Here they come. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they don't score now!

 

[roadkill1292]

Steelers' O really needed that 30 yards of quick offense.

 

[cracKer]

Seattle's punter has blown three chances to pin the Steelers.

freakin' kicker, do your job

Nice officiating thus far, especially picking up the flag on Boulware.

 

[caglassc]

Why make that throw???

 

[Keys Myaths]

That was quite the interception.

 

[SaosiN]

WTF was that?? come on roethlisberger

 

[Keys Myaths]

Why make that throw???

Because you're overrated. (just kidding)

Put the kybosh on that drive then...

 

[roadkill1292]

Fine play by Boulware to snuff out a scoring threat.

Hawks' front seven doing a pretty good job containing Big Ben. He's been hurried a little.

 

[Peyton Marino]

INTERCEPTABURGER!

Corrected.The Call against DJax to me was weak in the endzone

 

[greenroom]

WTF was that?? come on roethlisberger

Had a flash back to K Stewart...

 

[BigRed]

Another PATHETIC pass by Big Ben. I knew he'd never be known as a deadly accurate passer but he looks like crap. buh-bye Stillers.

PS that Dove commercial was one of the most moronic commercials I have ever seen. If you're upset about being fat, eat less and stop being such a whiny spoiled slug.

 

[caglassc]

I don't fault the guy for having confidence to make that kind of throw - but I would think that managing this game correctly is something that Cower would have talked about with him.

BigRed: Promoting anorexia...one chick at a time.

 

[SaosiN]

aww crapp, our return man is injuried

 

[greenroom]

That hit will hurt the Steelers a lot if Randel El is not able to return

 

[roadkill1292]

Did that dive by Randle-El seem a little unnecessary?

 

[yellowdog]

Seattle should've challenged the spot on that 3rd down play.

 

[mad sweeney]

aww crapp, our return man is injuried

looked nasty, glad his legs were at least moving

 

[Popinski]

Do one of these teams have to win the Super Bowl? Or can both lose?

 

[BigRed]

Completely. He seems intent on doing it every play. moron.

[SaosiN]

big ben.. very nice shuffle pass

 

[BigRed]

WHOO HOOOOO nice run by FWP He's got what a 1 YPC avg?

 

[BigRed]

....and nice pass by Big Ben for the TD. not.
