Did the steeler cheat in the superbowl?

The Officials sucked all year, but the better teams can overcome those mistakes.\n\nIn my opinion, the Touchdown was good. (Ball touched the white stripe), the Pass Interference was a close call that could of went either way, and the call on Hasselbeck for an illegal block was horrible.\n\nBut... The Steelers overcame even worse calls in their win over the Colts! \n\nBy the way, it's over a month old now.  Get over it.\n\n(but if you can tell by my user name, I may be a tad biased.)

I would've let Hasselbeck know that I had coached two Super Bowl teams and that when I send in a play with less than a minute to go in the half, he had better run it.\n\nABC reported that Holmgren sent in two plays with time running down, but that Hasselbeck audibled out of both of them. That led to the Seahawks' failure to score before the end of the half, which allowed the Steelers to carry momentum into the second half.

Mistakes in play calling\nthey went away from the run which got them to the big game and Hassleback threw for over 40 passes in the superbowl.  The linebackers couldnt stop the run at all allow parker to run over them and keep getting first downs.  The refs also made some questionable calls but they were no excuse to loose how they did.

How do they not deserve it? Of course they do. They won and thats all that matters. The only people who deserve to win are the ones who do. They went in as a last seed and beat every team that they faced on the road. I cant think of a single thing that makes them undeserving of a championship.\n\nBy the way, im not a Steelers fan, i just cant believe that anyone could think they didnt deserve to win the superbowl.

No, the Colts will not survive with Steeler this weekend.\n\nThe Patriots will win the Super Bowl.

Odds are set by Vegas in an attempt to get half the gambling population to wager on one team and half to wager on the other. It is not meant to predict the outcome of the game. A great case in point is this year's Superbowl, wherein both teams are very evenly matched (good QBs, good RBs, decent WRs, great defenses, neutral field). But public perception is that somehow Pittsburgh is much better; Vegas knows this and knows they can milk 3 1/2 points worth of bets (millions of dollars) out of over-eager (and, IMO, misguided) Pittsburgh betters. The public is buying into a LOT of Pittsburgh hype (i.e. the #6 AFC team is better than NFC's #1) and Vegas will probably have the last laugh.

PATRIOTS. They cheat and git away with it.  The d-backs grab jerseys, hold players, hit beyond the five yard line, and play nasty.  The O line holds on nearly every play.  They are so over rated and teams that played them were always winning until the end of the game and end up loosing buy a dam field goal.  The other teams were scared so they micromanaged the game and blew it playing conservative.  \n\nLet's remember the first sign of cheating.  The playoof game against the raiders in the snow.  Charles Woodson sacked Tom Brady and Brady fumbled the ball.  Tuck rule my ass.  If that play is called correctly, the radiers play the rams in the superbowl, the rams win, and the patriots never win one, and the rams are the dynasty, not the cheaters from new england.

No, I didn't down the Steelers. I am favoring them to win the Super Bowl since last weekend even know I am not really a Steelers' fan.  I root for them becuase I like Jerome Bettis.\n\nI like to see him end his career with the Super Bowl's ring. Anybody work as hard as him deserved to have one.

THE BIG PICTURE\nThe Steelers survived this time, but they have to craft a go-for-the-jugular game plan next week at Denver, because getting up 21-3 and then taking the air out of the ball nearly proved disastrous against Indianapolis. Cowher's Steelers have only lost once in his entire tenure when they've had a lead of at least 11 points in a game, and Pittsburgh is known for putting teams away with the running game once it gets up. But the Steelers are going to need every point they can get in next week's AFC title game, because the Jake Plummer-led Broncos can score in a hurry, as the Patriots found out first-hand on Saturday night. You've played it safe in past AFC Championship Games, Bill Cowher, and most times you've been sorry. Don't make that same mistake again.\n\nLeague Championships (2) \nSuper Bowl Championships (2)\n1997 (XXXII), 1998 (XXXIII) \n \nConference Championships (6) \nAFC: 1977, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998 \n \nDivision Championships (10) \nAFC West: 1977, 1978, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998, 2005

If there is an article like that it probably is in the Seattle Whiner Gazette. I wonder if there is a similar article saying Wayne Gretzky gambles and bet on his team? I just dont see how people thinks Pittsburgh cheated,they dont make the rules or throw the flags. I think they should just get over it!

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