They haven't earned it frankly.  They went through one of the easiest regular season schedules, beat a Redskins team that couldn't play offense and beat a Carolina team relying on their 4th RB.  They haven't really proved anything.

Not that many people in Ammerica live in or near cities with major sports teams.  I know growing up it was tough to have favorites because of that.\n\nI think for others it is a matter of wanting to cheer for a winner, especially if the team you normally follow has played poorly.  I know that as a Seattle Mariners fan, it has been a couple of very depressing years.  I have not stopped supporting them, but I did watch post-season games and had my hopes on teams to win.  I was with the Red Sox in '04, but not the White Sox last season.

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.

It would nice to see a new Super Bowl Champion.  The people of Seattle haven't really had a heck a lot to cheer for during the playoffs.  Heck, Saturday was their first playoff win since 1983.  I wish them the best of luck.

ahhhhh...boo fuuckin' hoo!!  a great team is one who can over come losses and bad calls and still make it to the 'BIG DANCE' they obviously couldn't bounce back so therefore didn't deserve to make it...the NFL is stupid for making a change like that anyone who watched the game could clearly see that kimo was falling and could not stop himself and rolled into carsons knee...what a fuuckin' loser cry baby they're never gonna make it anywhere with a pansy leading the team!!!

Because they are a better team, Big Ben did not get in the enzone for that TD. Seahawks are better the (ref) let Steelers win Seahawks had TD's called back the oods where against them  playing so close to Pittsburgh the game was giving to the Steelers and if these so called football fans think other wise they need to go wacth it on video. The Steelers knew the game was given to them thats why you dont see much or hear much about it. Pittsburgh has not had a good team since Terry Bradshaw, Jack Lambert , Mean Joe Green Franco Harris, Lynn Swyan, and so on. Theres next year and it will not be played in DETROIT

Because their fans can not spell Washington(washinton) or teams (teamms).So with that why playgood.

Their is no doubt in my mind that the Seahawks are going to win this weekend.  They have a strong defense going against a weak offense (the Skins put up less than 150 yards against the Bucs),and Seattle has the league MVP in their backfield.  Lets not forget that Seattle's D isn't shaby either Seattle has the 7th best D in the league only giving up 16.9 points per game against a Washington offense that has only produced the 13th best scoring offense putting up 22.4 points a game.  Yes Washingtons D is better than Seattles but The Seahawks had the best Scoring Offense in the League this year scoring 28.2 points a game.  Look their is no chance the Skins will come out of Seattle with a win.

oh absolutely, and it was one of the worst superbowls ever...very boring because even with all the calls going the steelers way, they still couldnt dominate the seahawks. it was an utter disgusting and cheap game that was ruled by the referees and its a shame this type of conspiracy and fixed games is happening in a great sport; not to mention the biggest game of the year. i will always hate the overrated ben roethlisberger so it was a relief to know that they got one thing right at least. They gave the superbowl mvp to the best steeler, Hines Ward.

I have to take my hat off to the Niners because they are playing really hard but I can't see them making the playoffs this year. If they are going to have a chance they need Denver to step up and defeat the Seahawks next week. I do think that if they choose wisely in the coming draft and maybe land a good free agent that they will be there next year. Vernon Davis needs to stay on the field and be healthy. I am pulling for the Niners though!

Hell yeah!! GO SEAHAWKS!!  They only lost this year because the Stealers paid off the idiot refs.

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!!!

I think the Seahawks and the Steelers and the Fans were all cheated by a biased officiating crew, for all the missed and bad calls. i was a football fan and now i am promoting letter writing to all sponsers of nfl activities to try to get the officiating problem solved... for ALL football fans. i don't want to take away the Steelers win ( congratz guys) but i want a obvious problem fixed. nuff said

If they win it then they deserve to lift it. As to Brind'Amour taking blame if you had any sense of sports you would realize how intelligent it was. His taking blame was to take it OFF the team. A lot of players have done it. It is to take pressure from the rest of the team in a sense.

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.

I think there's a few factors to look at. We've got a really strong team this year (Yes, I'm in Seattle), and while it seems possible that they choke, I doubt it for a couple reasons. First and foremost Holmgren is a hell of a coach, and if anyone can keep them going, it's him. And really, they aren't giving any indication of looking like they're slowing down. \n\nI think when you get that much momentum behind a team that's strong either way with such a great coaching team, you're going to be movin quickly :)
