Don't you think Seahawks did some stupid things right before halftime?

Yes. I think the Seahawks' failure to score contributed heavily to their eventual loss. They should've scored, which would've negated the Steelers' momentum going into the second half.

We should be in the hunt for the National Title, but with all of texass and Oregon's losses, we wouldn't have had enough BCS points to get up to #2 with all of the one loss teams in there anyway.\n\nOregon got exposed for the mediocre team they are several times this year, and it doesn't get any better than Oklahoma-Nebraska. Hopefully we will get a chance to expose another team ranked ahead of us in a BCS bowl. BOOMER SOONER!!\n\nOn the subject of that horrible call, I read an article by the replay guy that will just make you mad, but it's good reading:\n\n"The replay official for the game between Oklahoma and Oregon football game says he knew that the Sooners recovered a pivotal onside kickoff late in the game." \n   \n \nBut Gordon Riese told the Oklahoman that replay rules prevented him from correcting on-field officials who made the wrong call and awarded possession to Oregon, even though it was clear to Riese that Oklahoma's Allen Patrick had recovered the ball...."

I don't think so. No.\nPut that extra point up, always.\nWorry about that situation towards/into the 4th quarter.

Like Bluestar said! It is making a mockery out of the game, the silly showmanship Prats. And it insults the intelligence of the fans.\nWell, my humble opinion!

I don't know about all this "statement game" stuff but I do know that the deeper we get into the season the faster the cream rises and the sh*it sinks.\n\nColts are cream, so are the Ravens, it also looks like the Seahawks and Cowboys may be as well...............

We were rooting for the Sea Hawks and felt there were several calls by the refs that were NOT RIGHT!!!! The Sea Hawks played a good game and have nothing for which to be ashamed. (My NFL and AFL teams didn't even make it in the playoffs!) :(

i dont know what rigged means but if it is unfair this is an answer for that. The super bowl wasnt really fair because when the steelers got their first 6 points, the guy who got them (i forgot his name)he didnt land right on the touchdown line but right next to it and then move the ball on to the touchdown area to make it seem like he got the touchdown. After the ref watched the replay he still gave them the 6 points. I know it would no have mattered since the score was Pitsburg Steelers-21 and Seattle Seahawks-10 so steelers had eleven points difference. Then maybe the refs didnt count some points for seahawks and counted points for the steelers that they werent supposed to get. I got the maybe refs counted points to the steelers from something i read that said or really asked "Did referees give steelers super bowl?" Thats all i know since i didnt see the super bowl from start to end. Hope that helps you with you question.

Unfair isn't the right word. They were horrible and a disgrace to officiating everywhere. Anyone who had half a mind would know that.

no they're not, they never got in a rhythm and got behind fast... the team got down and lost all there motivation...the panthers looked worst..my old coach use to tell me sometimes you can lose the game during the first kickoff...they did... they never got rhythm..got behind faster than the den, then their team laid down..plus they had to kick it off the second half(a perfect showing of what happens with no run game)

It's about time somebody asks this!!  I watched that game as if I were studying a map- it was pure, unadulterated bullsh*t how the refs completely sided with the Steelers as if they were getting their wood off by ignoring penalties and such!!  Never have I been so disgraced and ashamed of the National Football League!  The Seahawks played a damn superb game and deserved to win!!!

That was the worst Superbowl I have seen in years. Bad officiating, and just plain BORING (as I predicted). Yes the refs screwed Seattle (I hate both teams so this is a completely honest assesment), take back two crappy holding calls that were questionable at best, repost the touchdown that was taken away (as it was a touchdown), and remove the fake Rothelisberger touchdown which did not happen and the score is at least 24-10 in Seattles favor. THE REFS BLEW THIS ONE

Sorry. The game last night was the Seahawks first Super Bowl appearance. They have never won it.\n\nWell, there's always next year!

They totally got screwed and it changed their momentum a few times.  Don't tell me that the refs weren't biased, unless you watched the game as a braindead lump of flesh.

I think the game definitely could have been different (could, not would, there is no way to know).  There were at least three bum calls in my opinion.  Ben's touchdown was not a touchdown.  He was stopped in the air and down before he not so slyly moved the ball over the line (which was out of his posession at the time), though I can see not overturning it since it was not a slam dunk to see.  However, the supposed offensive pass interference that negated a Seahawks touchdown was not cool and neither was the super idiotic illegal blocking call on Hasselbeck where he was obviously tackling.

No, the seahawks will.  :D  They're kickin butt!!

I disagree on the Champ Bailey fumble, there was no good camera angle to confirm it went out of the enzone and not in the field of play. The Samuel/Lelie "defensive" pass intereference...total BS...definately should have been on Lelie if anyone...but certainly...7 pts didn't make a difference anyway with all the turn overs. That being said, no...the officiating was not of the caliber of the playoffs if only based on that BS play alone!

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.
