who think the refs for the packer game sucked?

I think the refs suck. 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.

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

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.

In every game of the World Cup there has been at least one bad call (maybe more!) from the refs from the first game to the current game, they either taking sides, or they are to far away from the infraction, or they are simply incompetent! (Do we need more refs on the field?)\nThis is the worst refereed World Cup ever!\nAnd take that stupid ban-aid microphone off your chin, it ain't working

So true, the referring sucks!!!\nI am in complete agreement with you.\neven game 1&2, Mavs won due to sheer hard work despite bad refs.\nI too am boycotting NBA, except for the suns games, though!!!

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.

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.

I hate basketball officiating, but that could just be because everytime someone breathes on the guy with the ball it is a foul. These guys are professional athletes, they can handle it. Let them play the freakin' 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!!!

Joe ~ \n         Hey, it's been a while. in my opinion, the worst/crooked referee in the game is Micky Vans, he mostly works the England fight scene. When Kosta Tszyu and Ricky Hatton were fighting it was obvious that Ricky was trying to keep Kosta on the ropes, he was using his head blatantly also his elbows came into play and he would grab Kosta with a open glove and pull him back to the ropes. When Tsyzu's corner complained Micky said "Don't ya be telling me how to do me job!" \n  Every time Micky refs a fight were it's a English fighter against some one that's not from England there is only one fighter in there that is going to be cautioned or have points taken away and it's not going to be the fighter from England.

BRING THEM OUT!!!!! some referees are complete idiots

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.

I seem to remember when either Brett Favre or Jim McMahon was just grabbed and thrown to the turf by a pissed-off defender (whose name escapes me) well after the play was over, wiping out the quarterback's shoulder. Just an overt act of frustration and anger taken out on an opposing player. That pretty much defines it for me to this day.

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.
