all i have to say is the refs were bought off, the steelers' first touchdown was illegitmate, and seattle did not get a pass interferance on themselves, and earned that touchdown.



the game was rigged, and all you who payed your bets to steelers fans were robbed.

Well if you knew the rules of football any touching after 5 yards is a penalty. PERIOD....he put his hands on the defender...automatic interference.
Did Ben score? Not sure....I didnt see the ball cross the line...but there was a ref right there and made the call....play reviewed and let stand.
Clipping call on Seattles QB was wrong....WRONG. The fact is the STEELERS WON....and I live in the BURGH.....we have been screwed by calls often enough....so a few went our way....THATS LIFE....Steelers would have WON this game no matter what...Bettis was going out a CHAMPION...nothing less.
Its a game....one team wins...one loses. Dont cry about the refs handing them the game. 1 bad call 1 iffy call and 1 call to the letter of the rule.
While I agree that I think the game should be a little more physical....like it was 10 years ago.....THE RULES CHANGED....cant complain about it now.

You know what's sad and makes Seattle look like shit... Mike Holmgren didn't even find Cowher to shake his hand, that's just out right disrespect... what a sore loser

Well I must say I don't remember all that much of the bowl but from what I do remember the right calls where made, I'm far from a Steelers fan but from what I saw they throughly deserved the win.

The Rothelisberger run it looked to me as if the nose of the ball did break the plane, it was close but was in. As for th pass interference call he did push off, however big of a push is irrelevent. I've similar instances in other games go the other way but so far as the rules go the correct calls where made.
