Horse collar.

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Islander]

Damned refs caused an interception!

3 or 7 pt swing due to the holding call.

 

[roadkill1292]

Wasn't Pitt offsides there!!!! WOw, refs killin the Hawks.....

I believe they were offsides twice running. Thought I was nuts 'cuz noone else mentioned it.

 

[The_Man]

They just penalized Hasselbeck for making a tackle!

 

[jurb26]

block below the waist??

it was a tackle...jeesh

You cant do that on a change of posession I believe. Stupid ruel, I remember screaming about it earlier this season.

 

[Crazy8s]

How can you get called for a Block below the waist when your trying for a Tackle???

this is getting a bit funny......he made the damn tackle!

 

[SaosiN]

Can we all stop crying now...Everytime the STeelers have a play you all start crying

 

[Adrian Peterson]

I think there was little advantage gained on that 'hold'.

The Seahawks have been jobbed by the refs a few times - shame I think if Pitt wins considering they have been outplayed.

 

[LOD]

Worst officated ever this guy will never ref a super bowl again awful Steeler fan must be happy the NFL wants them to win more than the Seahags. AWFUL

You can't make a tackle on a change of possession? Interesting. Every thought about officiating school?

 

[Islander]

Horrible call

 

[Red Herring]

Horse collar.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Ditto! Why didn't they just hand Bettis the Lombardi trophy before the game?!?

 

[yellowdog]

Seattle is getting completely screwed!

 

[greenroom]

Horse collar.

Thats what I was thinking

You have to grab the inside of the *pads* for a horse collar. He just grabbed the inside of the jersey.

After further review. He had the "Pads" Not just the jersey.

 

[The_Man]

Can we all stop crying now...Everytime the STeelers have a play you all start crying

Guess Al Michaels is crying too.

 

[MSULions]

hawks are getting hosed, plain and simple. i don't want to complain about it...i don't want it to happen at all...but it is.

 

[jonessed]

Pitt is all but being handed this game. They have been outplayed by a large margin.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

They just penalized Hasselbeck for making a tackle!

Very bad call.

Rather than crying all game long why dont some of you actually listen to the explaination. They just told you why it is illegal.

 

[jsargos]

This Super Bowl is now a joke of a farce of a mockery.

[SaosiN]

instead of blaming the line for giving up the sack,and hassy for the INT you are gonna blame the REFS

u all suck

 

[DCThunder]

Once again, the word came down from Tags to the officials: Make all the calls for the Steelers, you dumb sheets! This is getting too close and we can't have a Non-traditonal team win. After all, we have to get The Bus his ring!!!!!

 

[SDJohnny]

THIS GAME IS AN OFFICIATING JOKE!

This is complete horse####

These ref's are terrible. Seattle is getting worked over.

Rather than crying all game long why dont some of you actually listen to the explaination. They just told you why it is illegal.

And why it was an incorrect call.

 

[SaosiN]

GADGET #2

 

[fruity pebbles]

Damn, sweet play..........

 

[jurb26]

block below the waist??

You CANNOT go low to take on a block on a change of possesion or on a return. Stop crying.

 

[Adrian Peterson]

The best part of that play - is I loved Randle El as a QB at Indiana!

 

[SaosiN]

my oh my..the tables have turned

 

[scott72]

Game set match fellas. Steelers win... What a shame...

 

[NJ]

 

[mad sweeney]

Why wasn't Ben's block on this play a penalty??

 

[Aussie Cowboy]

Very nice.

 

[Crazy8s]

Sweet play

 

[greenroom]

u all suck

Even you have to admit that every call has gone the Steelers way.O wait they had 2 false starts to start the game.

Even Steeler fans cannot be happy with The Refs and how they have worked the game.

 

[Red Herring]

It's over .....

 

[BassNBrew]

El throws a better ball the Big Ben.

He took on #26 low and rolled through to tackle #24.

 

[SaosiN]

[shakeybarn]

Apparently you didn't listen. Madden said the official didn't see what he thought he saw. Seahawks are getting screwed.

 

[UlyssesNorris]

What an utter load of this is. If I were a Seahawks fan I'd be pissed. Shame on the official who made that holding call.

He didn't take the blocker on. He hit the ball carrier.

 

[shakeybarn]

Since the "tuck" game,... i can't recall a may f'd up game by officiating...

 

[Islander]

Even if I was a Steelers fan I would wish the refs would not have had such a big impact because they might have won the game anyway. Now it will be a win that will be discussed due to officiating.

You can ALWAYS make a tackle on a player below the waist...it was an incorrect call

 

[roadkill1292]

This is all very disappointing.
