What (in the super bowl) did you feel was unfair or just a bad call???

The incomplete pass that Stevens dropped in the 1st QTR.  The refs missed that big time.  Stevens caught the ball, secured the ball, turned to run downfield, and then was leveled by Polumalu fumbling the football.  If that happened in the end zone, it would have been ruled a touchdown. The chop block by Hassleback was incorrect too.

I was somewhat disappointed.  I just wish Parcells and the rest of the team would get their act together and get back to winning superbowls like they did when Jimmy was there.  It's not all about 1 coach, it's a team effort when it comes to winning games.

No matter how it happened a W is a W.\n\nYes they won fairly, the offials blew calls on both ends of the field.\n\nA push is a defender fully extending his arm to gain an advantage over the defender. Jackson's arm was fully extended....Good Call bad timing\n\nVideo Replay must provide UNDISPUTIBLE evidence to overturn a on-feild ruling. What made that play stand was the fact that although you "know" where the ball was, you still can not determine wether he was over or not before the hit....\nGood Call\n\nNow the below the waist thing....\nBad Call\n\nBut what about Jeramy Stevens "not fumble" or the fact that Rothlisberger was blocked in the back on the int. return. Or Shaun Alexander not showing up, Poor Clock management at the close of the game and 1st half, Hasselback throwing 2 passes out of bounds (inside the 20), allowing Big Ben the time to throw a 60 yd pass to Hines Ward, the 2 missed tackles on the longest run in Super Bowl history......And last but not least Josh Brown missed 2 FG's. \n\nSo don't blame the refs.\nBlame the Team.

I was asking myself the same question last night. My God, that was so miserable to watch. I was just cringing the entire time.\n\nThe first half was great. Our boys were doing so good defensively, even with all of the injuries. I was really impressed. I'm convinced that something happened in that locker room. We came out for the second half with no gusto, no passion for the game. My grandmother could have played ball better than they did. \n\nThat 108 yard return was absolutely horrific to watch. I couldn't believe it. I give credit to the Bears, that was a damn good fake, but oh man. The poor Giants. It was just ...over. I don't think Coughlin should have gone for it. And I also think that next time, there's gonna be someone defensively ready incase that ever looks like it's going to happen again. \n\nThen you have the injuries of the night. Madison is re-hurt. Petitgout is probably out for a while. Tiki hurt his hand. We lost some good players already, now we've lost even more. Tiki wasn't the same, which angered me. They should have put in Jacobs and let Tiki rest, and they should have thrown the ball to Shockey instead of Plax since Plax can hardly catch. Coughlin seems like he barks but he's got no bite. \n\nI don't think this is season changing, but I hope it is a wake up call to the Giants. We're the top of the NFC East. We're tied for second place in the NFC with a bunch of other teams. We need to seriously step it up if we ever want to make the Super Bowl this year. Which I think we should, especially considering that Tiki is retiring. \n\nI think if we lose next week's game, the last night was season changing. We can't afford to lose next week. The team needs to get their confidence back.

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.

It was a great game. I'm a long time Steelers fan and I darn near suffered a heart attack at the end. Great game, but I don't understand why we stoped blitzing in the middle of the game. You can let Peyton Manning off the mat. \n\nGo Steelers!

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.

I have seen the game 3 times and all the "bad calls" and the only call that was bad for the Seahawks was the one on the QB for the chop block. The Steelers could complain about the refs as well. There was a fumble by #86 we did not get and a block in the back on the Steelers QB Ben during the interception return that was not called. Besides how could people be surprised the the Steelers won, they beat better teams than Seattle in the run up to the Super Bowl. Clearly the Steelers are the better team. Seattle played a weak schedule in a weak conference in a weak division. They did not play the level of competition the Steelers did.

The calls were awful!  Get better refs NFL :)

I agree. That call last basically ended the game for green bay. It would have been fourth and nine and sea hawks would have punted. But instead they get 15 more yards and a first down that leads to a touchdown. Green Bay would had the ball with lots of time left on the clock and would have only been down by 3 points. I am not saying Green Bay would have won for sure but, that call decided the game right then. What exactly is roughing the passer? If that was roughing the passer then they need to put a flag around the quarterback or play two hand touch.

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

I think the decision of whether a ball is fair or foul - in the case of a disputed homer - is a fair item for replay.  It's not a knock on the umpires, but those calls can be tough to make when they happen as quickly as they do.\n\nOther than that, though, I don't like the idea of replay in baseball.  Sure, umpires make occasional bad and questionable calls on other plays (safe/out calls), but I don't think it happens as often as we sometimes think.  I'm also not sure that replay would make a difference on many of those calls, because they're likely to often be inconclusive, like many calls in the NFL.\n\nI'm very wary of replay because I've seen how ineffective it can be in the NFL.  For every one they rule on properly, there are several that just leave me scratching my head.  I don't want to see baseball go through those same pains.\n\nBaseball is a great sport, with umpires that generally do an outstanding job.  I'd hate to see their role reduced, or called into question, on a regular basis.  If we're going to start using replay for many cases, why not just cut out the umpires and make all the calls from upstairs?

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!

You missed a great game...there was one call against the Horns/Limas Sweed for offensive pass interference when he scored a touchdown.  It could've gone either way but Sweed put his hands to the defenders face so that is why it got called.\n\nThe AG's had a wrecking crew kind of day.\n\nIt was great.

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.
