You sound kinda like your avatar looks.
Yeah anyways can we please get a lock on this mods?
Why?
Exactly how I feel - but I found myself outraged on behalf of The Seahawks that day
Because it's a pathetic thread that offers absolutely no value to this forum. Any mods around...........
You guys really all need to have some group sessions.
Yes but you need to stop acknowledging the few trolls on this board. For the most part, the Seahawks have good and knowledgable fans. Anyways, what's the slogan if the Steelers win # 6 today? "One for Big Johnson".........

Right. And they took 4 points off the board on the DJAX offensive interference call which everyone admits was horrible, and then 7 on the questionable holding call after the Stevens pass down to the one. Hasselbeck's INT and the Ward TD may have never happened if it weren't for those two calls. I'm over it but don't pretend like the momentum of the game didn't shift because of those calls because it did.
or 
I guarantee you that had the blown call in the Indy/Pitt game in the divisional round that season cost the Steelers the game, Steelers fans would still be bitter about it, so give me a break. And don't give me the "the NFL admitted that that call was blown" nonsense. They only did that because the outcome of a playoff game wasn't affected.
DJAX did push off, Stevens did hold.Right.

If they do they are just a Steeler fan in denialThat was an embarrasment to the league.
You don't even know what play I'm referring to do you? Hilarity ensues in the Shark Pool once again with the peanut galleryDJAX did push off, Stevens did hold.Right.

Every game has questionable calls. Did the refs block on Parker's 75yd TD? Did they hold back the DB's on Ward's 43yd TD catch? Did they trick Hasselbeck into throwing a costly late INT?
Would Seahawks fans be crying fowl if the calls were perceived as being against the Steelers?
without any reference point.
He made contact, but did not push off. Zero separation was created by the contact he made. And the flag came way late, and was thrown by an official who is from Pittsburgh (IIRC).
That kind of blocking/holding happens on just about every single play from scrimmage, but ones that minor are almost never called.
A flag coming "late" does not mean anything. He reached right away and missed. Sometimes officials will also replay in their head what they saw to make sure of these things.That kind of blocking/holding happens on just about every single play from scrimmage, but ones that minor are almost never called.
You know what? You're right about that. So that leaves us with this:He made contact, but did not push off. Zero separation was created by the contact he made.

. . . . . . Mmmmm. Your tears taste so sweeeeeeet. Seriously, when are you going to stop crying over it.
I forget whose alias this is. Bryham? What I like is the defensive posture of Steelers fans when this is mentioned. If they felt like the game was truly officiated well we wouldn't see all the
and :IBTL: posts because that wouldn't be necessary. They'd just say "whatever" and move on. Fact is it was a poorly officiated game and most neutral fans would agree.
I can agree that there were some suspect calls (on both sides). But to hear the #####ing and complaining after 3+ years is getting tiresome. To hear Seahawk fans say that they would have definitively won if not for some of the calls is ridiculous. The Hawks let up big plays and the Steelers capitalized. If I were a Hawk fan, I would lynch Stevens for DROPPING numerous key passes.I forget whose alias this is. Bryham? What I like is the defensive posture of Steelers fans when this is mentioned.

That kind of thinking never flies with me. That is basically saying that a team or its fans cannot gripe about being screwed by bad officiating unless they played a perfect game. Every team makes mistakes in a game, like the Seahawks letting Parker run for a long TD against them, for example. That doesn't excuse costly missed or blatantly bad calls by the officials. And, sure, like the players, the refs are only human, and are gonna make mistakes, too, but when several huge ones all go against one team in a Super Bowl, it is gonna raise eyebrows. As for hearing about it three years later, how do you think Royals fans feel? 24 years later, they still hear all of the time about how Don Denkinger's call in Game 6 screwed the Cardinals. No one is taking either of those championships away. Just don't act like there was no controversy.Oh, and for the record...I had no dog in that fight. I am not a fan of either team. I actually went into the game, expecting to root for the Steelers because I wanted to see Cowher win a Super Bowl and I like Roethlisberger, but I eventually rooted for the Seahawks, as it pissed me off seeing them get screwed the way they were.
The Seahawks still had their chances and didn't execute, that is for sure. I don't know which Seahawks fans you are referring to but all I've ever said is the game would have been different in the end and could have gone either way. I think it would have been 21-17, 20-17, or 24-21 and could have went to OT. I take nothing away from the Steelers, in the end they did enough to win the game.I can agree that there were some suspect calls (on both sides).

Yeah that's a tough one to swallow especially since you have the two teams playing in the same state. I don't think you'll ever hear the end of that one.
New here?

Good luck today Jerk.
It was terrible, but there is no way to know the outcome had it been officiated well. It's not like it was so bad that Seattle would have definitively won.
You're right on the money DD. That game was officiated so poorly that it took the entertainment value away. That's pretty sad.It was apparent early on that Seattle was fighting a losing battle. Personally, I think the whole "Jerome Bettis" thing played a part in it.whateverWhat I like is the defensive posture of Steelers fans when this is mentioned.
