Oh please. I'm a huge Seahawks fan, and I'm here to say: JUST GET OVER IT!!!! We got beat by the better team. The Hawks played one good quarter and then sucked after that. The officials had nothing to do with the third quarter touchdown and that final, razzle-dazzle play. There was no "conspiracy" by the NFL so Bettis could go out a winner. That is just simply ludicrous and stupid. The best teams--like the Steelers--simply win, they don't sit around and complain about the officials.

Wow,sounds like the STEELERS cheated at Cin. cheated at Indy,cheated at Den. and capped it off by cheating at Det. Very interesting! Wake up,rub your eyes and get with it! The Seahawks were out played,AND out coached! Every team has questionable calls made against them during the season. Too bad the "redsfan "said they are Oakland of the east,I didnt see Pittsburgh  injure anyone on purpose.If redsfan is also a Bengals fan,they had their chances in the past......... CHOKE!

well, I'm a huge Raider fan to start out.  When I saw that the Titans took Young and the Jets stuck with their guns and took D'Brickashaw I was like "WE GOT LEINART!!!! WE GOT LEINART!!!"  then it came time for the Raiders to pick and I vividly remember hearing the commish saying "....the Oakland Raiders select Mmm" and I threw my hands in the air in triumph "Michael Huff from Texas"  man....the life was sucked out of me.  If you would have said the Raiders are gonna get Huff in the draft I would have been happy as hell.  If you THEN would have told me, "by the way, Leinart would have been available and you would have passed on him" I would think you were high.\nBut from all accounts the Raiders have high hopes for Andrew Walter and wern't about to draft another QB from USC even though Leinart probably won't resemble Todd Maranovich in the least bit.\nI love Huff and love it even more that he'll be starting and making plays week 1.  Darnell Bing is gonna suprise some people on the Raiders and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets someones starting job this season.\nHoward I know little to nothing about, only that he's an energy ball and has alot to learn and know even less about Paul McQuistan even though Weber St is like 15 minutes from my house LOL\n\nGO RAIDERS!!!!

Je vois pas le rapport avec le Football US (oui parce que cette catégorie ne signifie pas "Football en Amérique (et du sud en plus)).\nNon vraiment aucun rapport à moins que les fonctionnaires brésiliens ne viennent jouer avec les Steelers la saison prochaine, pour qu'ils gagne un autre Superbowl avec Ben Roethlisberger.

Well, the Steelers just stole everyone's Christmas this year.  I really think they would have won if not for the STEALers.  They could make it next year.  There is a certain amount of luck involved, especially in the play offs.  Denver got unlucky against the Steelers early.  They created 3 or 4 "almost" turnovers in the Stealers first two drives alone.  None of them turned the ball over, but anyone of them could have.  I am not saying that the Steelers just got lucky, but I am saying that luck can play a significant role in the outcome of a game.

Bill Cowher is the best Coach in the NFL. Again this year he has taken a bunch of has-beens and NFL rejects to the playoffs. The whole thing comes down to this.. If Big Bum has one of his headuphisbutt weeks the Steelers are doomed.

yes!...Big Ben came back way too early!! that is why he is stinking it up...fist he came back too early from the Motorcycle wreck...then he came back too early from the concussion!!! i dont think he is going to start playing better until the very end of the season!!!...if the Steelers are smart they would start Batch!!!...and give there Franchise QB some time to heal before they really hurt him!!!

I think they are a great team.  I was sad to see Randel El leave to free agency.  I hope they make that up by drafting powerful running back LenDale White from USC.  He would fit perfectly with the Steelers running game.\n\n\nP  I  T  T  S  B  U  R  G  H ***S  T  E  E  L  E  R  S\n\n+++++++C   H   A   M   P   I   O   N   S+++++++

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.

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 will argue that the Steelers have a very good chance to win the Super Bowl again. The players they lost have been replace already by outstanding players.  At Safety either Clark Ryan (picked from the Redskins) or Tyrone Carter should cover Chris Hope.  Brett Keisel played great in the playoff and will do fine at defensive Tackle.  Santonio Holmes was drafted in the 1st round for the sole purpose to become a great wide receiver, it was sad to see Randle El leave, but we will be fine. Bettis departure was the best way a player could retire, he won a Super Bowl. I don't think the bus had any more gas to keep going anyways.  Duce Staley and Willie Parker will fill the back field just find or even better this year. As for Big Ben he is just getting wiser and better in running the offense. Watch out it's going to be interesting season, I predict back to back Superbowl Champs!

Looks like the Super Bowl Champs...\n\nSunday, February 26, 2006\n\nBy Teresa F. Lindeman\n\nDriven by the win in S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L, Pittsburgh Steelers merchandise is selling at a record pace. \n\nA sporting goods research firm calculated sales of Steelers merchandise so far this year have reached $154 million, more than five times the size of the $30 million total for the same period last year. The team alone has accounted for more than 40 percent of total NFL merchandise sales this year, according to SportsScanInfo, a sporting goods research firm in West Palm Beach, Fla. \n\n"The Steelers [win] is probably going to be the number one S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l championship event in NFL history," said Ralph Galera, director of custom product finishing for Florida-based clothing maker VF Corp., which rushed licensed locker room T-shirts and sweatshirts to stores within hours of the game. \n\nNFLShop.com reports that 84,706 Steelers S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l X.L championship items had been sold through last Monday. \n\nSome of that merchandise will be on display this week when vendors licensed to sell everything from Patriots mugs and Bengals toys to Raiders comforters and Terrible Towels turn part of the club level of Heinz Field into a collection of booths displaying all the football-stamped items -- excluding apparel -- that a merchant with an NFL license can dream up. \n\nBeginning Monday, representatives from the league's 32 teams will come to look over the offerings for the next season, as well as to observe the Steelers' own efforts to sell more stuff. \n\nThe NFL chose Pittsburgh as the site for its fourth-annual gathering last summer. \n\n"Not all of our clubs have made as large a commitment to the merchandising as the Packers and Steelers," said Leo Kane, the NFL's senior director of licensing and consumer products. Both teams consistently are among the league's leaders in sales of licensed goods and operate their own stores packed with goods. \n\nMr. Kane singled out the Green Bay Packers because they were hosts to the very first of these NFL trade shows back in 2003. Before then, the licensed goods offerings showed up as part of other trade shows. \n\nThe league decided to do its own show so it could time the event between seasons and so that strong merchandising teams could share their best practices. It's kind of like Ben Roethlisberger getting tips from Dan Marino, concentrating on the techniques and hoping for a little of the magic. \n\nThat first summit focused on the teams and the vendors but retailers have gained importance in the subsequent years. Invitations were sent to J.C. Penney, Dick's Sporting Goods, the Finish Line, Eastbay, Hat World, Giant Eagle, Party City, HSN (Home Shopping Network) and TJMaxx, among others. The Steelers also asked some local retailers to come, including Honus Wagner and Steel City Hobbies. \n\nIf any team has the right formula for opening wallets just now, it is the Steelers. SportsScanInfo credited a 35 percent increase in NFL sales activity so far this year mainly to the "blitz" buying of Steelers fans. \n\nThe single biggest category increase has been in licensed NFL T-shirts, up more than 500 percent in dollar volume as consumers eager to wear their pride buy, buy, buy. Clothing maker VF Corp. does not release sales numbers but Mr. Galera said the company sold enough clothing items to attire all of the 1.3 million or people who live in Allegheny County -- and more. \n\nIt takes a bit longer to produce other types of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l merchandise, such as mugs and footballs, so sales of those items could start picking up as the year continues. \n\n"Kudos to the fans," said Neil D. Schwartz, SpotsScanInto's director of marketing and business development and an industry observer who estimated the Steelers' 42 percent share of overall NFL merchandise sold so far may be twice the typical experience of S.u.p.e.r B.o.w.l c

Well I don't think the game swung because of the reffing. I'm a huge Colts fan but the Steelers obviously outplayed them......look at the first half. I think the game was won by the best team that day. And what an exciting ending! Wow did Bettis breathe a sigh of relief or what?? \n\nAs for the call? *shrugs* Don't you wish you could be the ref sometimes?
