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 game today was kinda wack with the ref stuff. but i think that if they could sub out refs, that would undermine the ref's authority. also, another problem would come in about who has the right and descretion of removing a ref...and therefore would it be right to remove that person making the decision and so on. \n\nthe ref from today's game though probably wont be making another appearance in these games. this guy was actually suspended 5 years ago for bad calls.

First off Ill have to say this was one of the worst officiated Super Bowls Ive ever seen, but a conspiracy.....Uhh I dont know. Seattle didnt help themselves by letting Pittsburgh get a 3rd and long early in the game. They also kicked themselves in the butt by letting Willie Parker run vertially untouched into the end zone at the beginning of the secong half. So Seattle fans, you must also point the finger at your beloved Seahawks too. Plus Im sure the Steelers felt the refs redeemed themselves after the blew that call in Indianapolis.

OF COURSE- ALIENS FROM ABOVE FIX ALL THE SPORTS GAMES, JUST TO MESS WITH OUR MINDS--THEY-THE ALIENS- PULL THE STRINGS FROM ABOVE- LIKE PUPPETS- AND THEY FOOL ALL OF US HUMANS, LIKE THE DUMB BUNNIES WE ARE !!! SORRY- JUST KIDDING- COULD NOT RESIST A FOOLISH ANSWER---NO SPORTS GAMES ARE FIXED EXCEPT, WHEN THERE IS COLLUSION BY SEVERAL PLAYERS, LIKE THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX MOVIE OF THE 1920'S???

I believe so... You gotta let these guys have some fun... Maybe Terrell Owens was tired after scoring and just needed a little nap... Come on refs let the fans see the comical side of these players.....

I really thought it was a goal. The camera replayed it and it was clearly over the goal line. I think the refs should use technology like cameras to be more accurate.

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.

Nobody Won. The Steelers Cheated. The Seahawks were robbed. The Referees blamed and rightfully so.

It was not the Rothlesbrger TD, that was actually tough to see.  The worst call was definately the offensive pass interference.  Technically by rule in the NFL it was the right call, however there has never in the history of the NFL been such a petty call.

Oh that! I'm not so sure but I think it was bcoz the ref made a wrong decision about one of the penalties (surprise, surprise!) they were fighting with the guys in the tuxedo but who was that i dont know. and to the answere above mine! YOU SUCK! AND IT'S NOT SOCCER! IT'S FOOTBALL!! DUHHHHH!!

there is not a scoring error....and as the other person said, scores are not official until tuesday...and even then the nfl will submit stat corrections when they change the calls, and that happens on thursday....\n-nny

Although some of the calls were questionable, you have to play the game well enough to win.  If the Seahawks played the entire game like they did in the 1st qtr, they would have had a lead that no questionable call could have changed the outcome.

You're right.  The refs definitely blow.

You mean ROETHLISBERGER.\n\nWell the called it a touchdown and when they reviewed it there was not a good camera angle to tell wether any part of the ball crossed the goalline so they could not overturn it. It was the refrees fault who called it a touchdown in the first place.

Nope.\n\nThis was the worst officiating I have ever seen.  It actually makes me wonder if the game was fixed.\n\nThe "push off" was b.s.  \nThe "hold" they called against Seattle when they got a completion to the one yard line was b.s.\nWhen Rothlisberger ran to the left to get a first down and the wide receiver (no 86) was holding the cornerback.  No call.  b.s.\nI couldn't care less who won the game, but I hate to see the pathetic officiating.

Probably not, I hope they send all those referees who made the call in the XL Super Bowl back to the minor league like baseball. They should send them back to NFL Europe or Candadian Football.
