Anyone else think that the Steeler's first touchdown last night was total crap?

All that is required to score a touchdown is for the football to break the imaginary plane at the front edge fo the white line that is the goal line.  Although the quarterback's arm obscured the balled somewhat, the replay made it look like the ball DID "break the plane".  The referees on the field were much closer and had a better view, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.\n\nOn the other hand, I thought the "pushing off" penalty that negated a Seattle touchdown in the first quarter was bogus.  I don't know if that would have shifted momentum to Seattle or not.

Oh please. I'm a huge Seahawks fan, and I'm here to say: JUST GET OVER IT!!!! We got beat by the better team. The Hawks played one good quarter and then sucked after that. The officials had nothing to do with the third quarter touchdown and that final, razzle-dazzle play. There was no "conspiracy" by the NFL so Bettis could go out a winner. That is just simply ludicrous and stupid. The best teams--like the Steelers--simply win, they don't sit around and complain about the officials.

The only folks who love Super Bowl 40 were hardcore steeler fans hard up for a victory, as far as a Superbowl to much\nrefs too much Bettis Steeler hype for me.....no way the seattle team could win this it was over days before it begain.\nMore like Professional Wrestling than a NFL game...hey you\ngotta complain or all the Superbowls will be ruined like this one, its your duty as a football fan, I don't know why Steeler\nFans are complaining sad that one for the thumb ended up so bogus...Dishonor to the game....Nobody won #40 everyone was a loser that day..

Yeah. Tony Kornheiser blows. Way annoying. Sunday Night Football with Al Michaels and Madden is way better. That's what MNF is supposed to be.

HeeHee!!! I am a Browns fan stuck in a Steelers world. I live and work about an hour from Pittsburgh. I just hope they get their act together soon. I totally agree with you about people thinking the world revolves around Heinz Field. Ever notice though, that when the steelers are winning they are the greatest team ever, but when they aren't doing well, they want to burn down the stadium? Also, when the Steelers lose a game it's because of some goofy reason, like Big Ben's thumb hurts, or there were bad calls against them, or extra crowd noise pumped into the stadium (indianapolis game, supposedly). I can't get past the hurt thumb thing, because Brett Favre played like a whole season with a broken thumb. Anyway, I HATE THE STEELERS!!!

He shouldn't be fined for his remarks after that game. I saw the game and was highly P***ed after that call that he dropped the ball on that pick. The Summary of my view of the replay, prior to falling to the ground, 1. he took two steps before his knee fell and his left arm went under the ball to not only have possession but prevent it from hittin the ground so the replay can't say that he dropped it.He got screwed but it's okay. It's all over now.Pittsburgh, we'll see  you in Denver.

he had a freakin inch to go all you have to do is fall forward. I could have gotten the first down if i was the QB. Mike nolan is a pu$$y pardon my french but i am a huge Niners fan and i was really upset not to see us go for it we had been running all over the rams and there was just to much time left to kick a field goal and give the ball to the rams.

Ok, this is pathetic, but I actually cried when I knew that the game was over. \n\nFrom the start, I knew something wasn't right with the offense. I love Peyton Manning. He's my player through and through, but tonight he just wasn't with his normal rhythm. It was like something else was on his mind. And the defense, that damn defense. I could have jumped into the screen when I saw them let Julius Jones get through so many times. I call it Tiki Barber Syndrome. If you know that's who the ball is going to go to: BLOCK HIM. PUT MEN ON HIM DAMNIT. It's not that complicated!\n\nI think I saw Peyton even shed a tear at the end. He looked pissed. This better wake them up. I think people get comfortable knowing that they are the only undefeated team in the NFL, and as much as it breaks my heart that they lost, I think that this will be better for them in the long run because it'll give them a wake up call. Don't play like sh*t anymore. Shape up your defense. Keep pressure off of Peyton. Catch the damn ball if it's thrown to you.\n\nNext week better be a win. I don't think that we won't make the playoffs. I'd rather be 12-1, go into the playoffs, kick some butt, and win the Superbowl once and for all than go 13-0 and choke.

logic..and judge is gay....lol..Steelers..they win , they can stop the seahawks run..did you see how SA was shining the second half against the pan?..steelers d is not gonna lay down like that...the hawks have an antsy QB ,the blitz will be perfect..HAHAHAHAHA.....they(hawks have alot of talent, i see how under a great coach they have strived to be better..they deserve to be where they are....but did you see RoeRoe(QB) on fire!!!???!!he was in the zone and the oc was pulling out all the stops...i look forward to the super bowl two great teams and two of the most emotional coaches in the game..since they both had 30 plus points in the last playoff games.... this Extra Large(XL)Superbowl should be one for the ages!!....now the superbowl wait begins!! ...Ben AKA RoeRoe.. Super Bowl MVP!!

YES!!!! I did not relax when the Steelers were beating the crap out of them, and then even less so when it got close and closer. I did however feel it was going to be close and I thought they would pull it out. Going in I thought if the Steelers won today they would win the Superbowl, which will hold to be true I hope.

Super Bowl hangover, it happens to nearly all Super Bowl winners. Key free agent losses and the retirement of "The Bus" cost them a lot of the leadership they enjoyed last season. Injuries havent helped and the soap opera that was Big Ben over the summer certainly didnt help. They need to regroup and re- dedicate themselves to the goals they had last year and they will be fine. There is still plenty of talent wearing Steeler black.

Yes, it started a dynasty that otherwise wouldn't have happened.  The entire Patriots reign is a sham because of that fumble.  I give credit to Vinatieri for making that kick in the snow and the Pats were certainly a great team over several years, but they should have never won that game against the Raiders.  Its the worst call because of what was at stake (playoff game) and the ramifications (Super Bowls for the Pats).

Yeah, they are stupid enough to think that the refs weren't on their side. The ruling on Roethlisberger's "touchdown" was the worst call I have seen in years. They are pretty stupid for thinking that. It is kind of like Bush. He thinks he won the 2000 election by himself.

I think that the Steelers are the stupidest team in the league.  As for the Bus I am glad he retired the is no way that he could last another season.  He couldnt even get out of bed in the morning after a game.
923485
yes!...Big Ben came back way too early!! that is why he is stinking it up...fist he came back too early from the Motorcycle wreck...then he came back too early from the concussion!!! i dont think he is going to start playing better until the very end of the season!!!...if the Steelers are smart they would start Batch!!!...and give there Franchise QB some time to heal before they really hurt him!!!

Not even Jerome Bettis's fumble cause hes basically an old dieing man (in the football world) can save this lackluster performance.  With Manning not getting it done, \n\nI think the dungy death of his son dominates this loss for sure.\n\nI'm not a fan of that team so I don't know, but if it was my team I would sorta understand and expect the team to overcome.\n\nYou see like Brett Farves mom dies and the day after he throws for like, 300 or 400 yards, and yeah its different cause shes the generation before, but still,\n\nchampions win.\n\nI think this is not at all the end of the manning era.
