SeaHawks a clear LOCK over Steelers

[Leonard Henry -2 Yds 0]

Stop kidding yourself, the only reason the Colts didn't win the AFC Championship is because Nick Harper didn't have the mind to RUN AWAY from the direction of the only tackler left on the field and get tackled. If you want to deny this as well, your mind is seriously on a different planet.

Sanity is overrated.

 

Trust me. I've moved on.

Let's think about this. No fumble by Polamalu, Steelers get the ball at the 50 yard line with 5:33 remaining in the game up 21-10. So instead of being down 21-18, the Colts go on Defense and are down 21-10.

 

SO EXACTLY HOW DID THE NICK HARPER PLAY COST THEM THE GAME? Oh, you mean after the refs blew the call and the Steelers didnt WHINE went back out and played the game and still won the game? Very similar to watch the Seahawks should have done.

I know we can't change history. What's done is done. Despite the initial expressed outrage by the majority of NFL fans over the incident, time will cover up the conspiracy. Heck, does anyone still remember the way the Russians stole the Olympic Gold Medal in men's basketball over the US team. Does anyone still remember the way the NBA just got done screwing Mark Cuban and the Mavs. Time makes our memories go fuzzy.

 

Instead, I will quietly seethe for the next 40 years or so, or until I take my revenge against the NFL. Oh, that day will come...that day will come....:shakingfistatsky:

 

Anyway, I look forward to another season of predetermined outcomes, fixed games, and the mob running the NFL. Viva la futbol.

It seems like everyone is just so wound up and high strung around the Main Bored anymore, since we all came back. I hope things get better over time.

Colts played in the AFC Championship game?

 

Couple of things here...First, as the Murf has pointed out, the Colts lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs, Denver played Pittsburgh in the Conf Championship. Second, the Colts lost because they got their ARSE handed to them for 3 1/2 quarters of football then got the biggest break ever seen in a playoff game when Peyton "Anti-Brady" Manning threw a clear interception to Polamalu only to have Tags whisper into the officials earpiece that "We would like the Colts to win this" and get it over turned. The Colts D hadn't stopped the Pitt offense much that day, so it's not a stretch to think the Steelers score again (even a FG) and put that game out of reach.

Whoa...

 

Listen, this is nothing like Cuban and the Mavs. Cuban whines and moans over EVERY call that doesn't go his teams way. Dallas isn't playing in the Finals if they don't get 3 phantom calls in 2 critical games vs San Antonio. Karma is a biatch Cuban, and what goes around comes around.

[t.j 35]

kiwimango, you're just as full of crap as FlaHawker. (Fortunately you don't post as much.) Not that I want to join his cause, but since there are plenty of people arguing against him, I'll make some points against you...

 

The officiating went against the Steelers in the entire Colts game. The refs tried everything that they could to allow the Colts to stay in the game and the STEELERS STILL WON!

 

Everything? BS. The refs didn't even get involved until the game was just about out of reach. It was bad and it went against the Steelers (refs almost always help out the home team nowadays), but you can't even compare the impact of the refs in the two games.

 

Did Bill Leavy push the 2 chip shot FGs wide left & right?

 

What chip shots? He did have a hand in those non chip shot FGs being from as far away as 50 and 54 yards.

 

Did Bill Leavy tell Jackson to run out of bounds when he had a perfect pass thrown to him, for a TD?

 

It's not Levy's fault Jackson missed on a tight sideline grab, no. (Pretty good coverage by the Steelers on that play, to leave so little room in bounds, I must say.)

 

Did Bill Leavy mysteriously CONFUSE the Seahawks when it was time to run the 2 MINUTE DRILL?

 

Nope. But if not for him they likely wouldn't have been running a two minute drill.

 

Did Bill Leavy cause the players to drop passes when they were wide open?

 

You mean like Hines Ward in the end zone?

 

Did Bill Leavy make all of the Dbacks look into the backfield on the reverse pass and let a WR get deeper than their deepest defender?

 

No, that had to do with Seattle's starting safety having just been injured, just like Joey Porter said they would be sending Seahawks to the sidelines.

 

Did Bill Leavy Rush for 95 yards on 20 carries?

 

Nope. That was Willie Parker, primarily due to one great play call for the Steelers for 75 yards that took advantage of what the Hawks were doing to otherwise shut down Pittsburgh's ground game.

 

Did Bill Leavy take a HORRIBLE angle to tackle the FASTEST GUY on the field and allow a 75 yd TD run?

 

No. But the play had nothing to do with horrible angles.

 

No, the refs did not referee a very good game, THAT POINT IS DULY NOTED, but the fact is that the Seahwaks had every chance to win this game AND DIDN'T.

 

Define "every chance." Your statement inherently contradicts itself. They had a chance for sure, but if the officiating was bad as you said, they certainly didn't have "every chance."

 

The Steelers can hold their head up high regardless of what you want to say, only people in Seattle say that it is tainted.

 

I agree with this.

[FlaHawker 24]

And here I though Phillybear had used the last 6 months to gain his sanity back and move on......

 

 

Phillybear is 100% correct because he understands the big picture. Sure, surface level is the rip job perpetrated on Seattle in the Super Bowl, but the big picture is more disturbing. If NFL officials are allowed to get away with highway robbey on the sports largest stage, than anything goes. As fans we all spend thousands of dollars each season on this product. With each passing year the product gets more and more tainted because of incompetence in the referee ranks, and the fact that NFL officials stand by the refs and their buffoonery tells me they have no respect for the average fan.

 

I think Philly was being a bit sarcastic with his reference to the game being fixed. I, myself, don't believe that because I am not much of conspiracy theory guy, but who knows. Fans should have marched on the NFL offices after that game in protest and to let the NFL know that we will not tolerate subpar officiating crews. Instead most fans stick their heads in the sand because these calls did not impact their favorite team in a negative way. Ultimately, this is not about the Seahawks losing a super bowl; it is about demanding the NFL put the best product on the field so that both teams are given the same opportunity to win or lose a game.

 

I plan to tivo every game played this year and chart the number of officiating blunders. And don't worry, when your team (whether it be the Steelers, Colts, Texans, insert your team name here) the NFL will snub its nose up at you too.

 

Just remember if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. The NFL is counting on it!

The refs always help out the home team? Yes, the Steelers had the home field advantage in the Super Bowl, so I guess you are right about that! But what is more alarming is that your comment indicates that because the refs help out the home team, that is ok. Very disturbing. the field should be equal for BOTH teams.

 

OBTW, as for Williw Parker'sa 75 yd TD run. have checked out the replay? Take a look at the Steeler OT with his hands in Lofa Tatupu's grill preventing him from filling the hole Parker runs through. The last time I checked that was and should have been illegal hands to the face. But like you said, the refs always help out the home team.

No, I don't accept it. That's a rather ridiculous conclusion for you to jump to. Just shut up, you can't even give someone the benefit of the doubt when they are in general agreement with you, it's pathetic. I have complained about the hometown officiating trend on this forearm many times and even I called into NFL Radio to share my conspiracy theory withe numerous examples of it as well. You know what they said? They responded with one example of an away team getting the benefit of a bad call and that was their whole rebuttal. The league won't admit it, the media doesn't want to hear it, and the fans only care when it affects their team. I don't accept it, but I recognize that it's reality. Trust me as someone who for years would argue with anyone who tried to tell me the Tuck Rule was a good call. (And before you try to tell me that this means I've accepted that call, I haven't, I just stopped arguing about it all the time. And even back in the day, unlike you, my approach was reactionary. I was easily baited but I didn't start threads about it all the time like you.) Trust me, you will never change anyone's mind. Ever. Not with this approach anyway. Good luck getting the league to do something about their Super Bowl officials because you won't accept their performance... you are wasting your time...

I applaud your efforts but you should spend your time sending your thoughts to the league instead of NFL radio. If enough people complained by witholding the almighty dollar by George the NFL would indeed listen.

[jgcrawfish 232]

FlaHawker, the problem here isn't so much your logic, your argument, or your opinion...it's your sig line. You give away your bias and defeat your own reasoning by even displaying that. You can "blah-blah-blah" all you want about how the league is not only accepting, but promoting, incorrect and unfair officiating. But if DJax doesn't push off in the endzone, however lightly he does it, there's no flag. If Hasselbeck doesn't throw that pick, he never gets called for the bogus flag for low blocking. If Stevens has a bit of stick-em on his gloves or doesn't have alligator arms because of the footsteps coming down on him, their kicker doesn't have to leg-out a 50+ yarder. And finally, if Holmgren doesn't have head up his arse during not one, but two critical junctures of the most important game of the season, then maybe all of this moot. The Hawks and their fans let something out of their control get into their collective psyche and gnaw at it, and lost their focus and started making excuses even before the game had ended. And it's been gnawing ever since...and it's pretty sad that you're still making excuses for something that is over and done, can't be changed, and is already in the record books. Eleven years ago when the Steelers played the Cowboys, I walked away knowing that the better team that day didn't win, the more collected and mistake-free team did. Eleven years later, I walked away with the same feeling.

 

Remember, nobody likes a whiner...

[Erb047 0]

No shame there. Against St Louis, Seattle was a 3 point home favorite, in a game the oddsmaker deemed a tossup. And if Jurevicius doesn't drop the ball in the endzone, that game goes to OT as well.

 

 

I may be anal retentive about this, but Bobby Engram dropped that ball, not JJ. JJ woulda caught it. He's the man.

I agree with this.

 

This response is comical at best. The reason that I dont post in here is that I have other things to do. I read and listen to get other opinions of what is going on, usually from the homers. It helps a little bit. But to say the Colts vs Steelers game wasnt officiated poorly, there were numerous occassions (ie - Freeney offsides on the Roethlisberger fumble & to the Pass Interference on Randle El that should have been a TD in the 1st qtr, so believe what you want about the officiatiing in that game.

 

The reason that I brought up Bill Leavy is that people are making it seem as though HE LOST THE GAME FOR THE SEAHAWKS. I pointed out several things that HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER, but vould have changed the game. You are clearly comical trying to flip my comments, who cares about Wards drop in the end Zone, it seems that the Steelers didnt pout and GOT OVER IT! You also say if it wasnt for Bill Leavy they wouldnt have had to run the 2 minute drill why not, were they going to give the ball to the Steelers inside of 2 minutes and not try to score??? :

 

I saw the hands to the face as well and I also saw the Safety take the WAY WRONG ANGLE to try to make the tackle. Didnt you??? The back up safety is the reason why Ward was open, I never placed that on the Safety, I said the DBACKS, Trufant was chasing ward and the FREE SAFETY is supposed to stay deeper than the deepest Steeler, so cut him, I dont care. Somebody made a mistake BUT IT WASNT THE REFS!!!

 

If this thread was about how officiating needs to be cleaned up, I doubt you find anyone who disagrees, I am sure that everyone has a team that has been wronged over the course of the season. But if you are going to make EXCUSES why things happened, then talk to someone less intelligent. Because I think it is funny how people are whining and making excuses.

 

 

I am sorry in my haste to finish my post, I forgot to define every chance for you! The Seahawks ran 74 plays and had 7 penalties. That means that they had 67 non interrupted plays in which to do something. They were inside the Steelers 8 times and scored 10 points had 1 score taken away. That means that 6 other times they GOT NOTHING, for whatever reason. Throw in the INT that everyone says should have never happened and 5 times and NOTHING. They had their chances. MOVE ON! It is a new season and if they should have won last year, they should be good enough to get back!

The Steelers can hold their head up high regardless of what you want to say, only people in Seattle say that it is tainted.

 

I know for a fact that is not true. I am willing to bet that the majority of football fans of teams other than the Hawks and Steelers would agree that the Super Bowl win was tainted because Seattle shouldnt have had to fight the refs more than they were the Steelers.

SB XL wasn't a great one, but it wasn't the worst SB since SB 5, IMO. That would have to be SB XXXV between the Ravens and the Giants, well, unless you're Ravens fan.

 

The Giants shouldn't even have been there and showed how bad they were and the Ravens were about as exciting to watch as a toilet flushing after taking a dump.

The Giants shouldn't even have been there and showed how bad they were and the Ravens were about as exciting to watch as a toilet flushing after taking a dump.

 

Give me the toilet every time...watching that dookie swirl around is much more palpable than seeing Ray Lewis riling up his defense like Richard Simmons meets Frankenstien. Worst/ugliest....cheerleader....evah.
