There were a couple of questionable calls, but Seattle made more mistakes than the Steelers, none more obvious than their sheer ineptitude inside both two minute warnings... Not sure if looking at the way the Pittsburgh played you could say it was so good they deserved to win, but the Seahawks definitely did not deserve a victory off that performance today

Holmgren is an overrated jackass. Always has been and always will be.

If Holmgren didn't come out to shake that is a totally classless decision on his part. Total BS, I will lose all respect for him if that is the case.

Easily the most frustrating Superbowl I have watched.
I wasn't rooting for Seattle with any vigor, and I am generally opposed to blaming the officials for the outcome... but seeing three obviously game-changing "close calls" all go against the Seahawks was truly difficult to watch. Then, watching them inexplicably and catastrophically mismanage the end of both halves made it even more so. More grinding of my teeth in that game than in any I can ever remember, certainly for a Superbowl game. |

Ohy believe me, I can't stand it when "my team" does it. It's out of line no matter what team or player does it. For two Steeler LB's to stand over Stevens and taunt him in that situation is about as classless as it gets. Doesn't mean they are classless players. Doesn't mean I don't like them. (actually, I like both Porter and Haggand, CSU boys) But what they did there WAS classless. Say what you want about the Patriots (and I especially hate the cheap shot artist Harrison), they don't act like that when they beat you. They handled the wins with dignity. Much, much more than the Steelers showed there. |

Hasselbeck looked very confused during the final drive before ht and during the 2 min drill. Does he always have that deer in the headlights look>?

Line was 4.0 where I bet. I had half my money on a straight steeler bet -4. Which I won. Then I teased the second half of my money, to +2 Steelers and over 40 1/2. Didn't hit the over. I broke even on the superbowl. Should of just bet it straight up and said screw the teaser. Last edited by astrosfan64 : 02-05-2006 at 09:08 PM. |

Regarding Holmgren ...
The only thing I can think of is that the guy who was leading Cohwer onto the field took him away from midfield ... down to like the 20. Was Holmgren at midfield? Did it just take a while for them to get together? If Holmgren did take off, I agree, I would lose almost all respect for him. |

If both teams had been treated to equally poor officiating, I wouldn't have used the word biased. But for EVERY major call in the game to go against Seattle, I'm calling it biased. I don't care how the NFL tries to spin it. I felt like I was watching an NBA game today. (and before the NBA fans blast me, I love the NBA despite the consistently biased officiating in that league) |

It was not the prettiest of games, and one Seattle should have won. They have no one but themselves to blame for the loss, though. I'm happy for Cowher, and Hines.

Very weird game, and not a particularly fun one to watch. Seattle shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, while the Steelers only did so once or twice.
I'm very happy for Cowher and Bettis, they've earned it over the course of their careers. The game rates pretty low on the Super-Bowl-O-Meter though. |

Will Randle El be resigned? He is a free agent. Personally, the team doesn't win without him.

Ok honest question here. In regards to a penalty that really didn't matter too much in the grand scheme: How in the world do you 'block below the knees' when you're tackling the guy with the ball?

Bettis was going out on top, and I am glad that he did.
On behalf of the Steelers I would like to thank tha Chargers for completely melting down in the stretch and for showing us how to beat the Colts.

That was the one call that I say they completely blew. I think that he called it on him "cutting" the player next to guy with the ball, but even then he didn't actually cut him. |

Actually, that play did matter in the grand scheme. It moved the ball from the 35 or so to the 40. The Steelers call that trick play only around the fifty yard line. They don't call it on their side of the field. The one long run set up the trick play when if there was no penalty it would have been 1rst and 10 at the 35. The trick play would have only happened had the Steelers picked up another first down. |

That was a bad call, but it didn't make a significant difference in the game. Certainly was a poor call though. The break seems like it was bad for both teams as well as refs.

Yay Steelers won! I said before the game I thought Bettis was going to retire if the Steelers won. I'm glad he's retiring... No better way to go out than on top... and it's great to see Cowher finally get the ring, too.

The sloppiest Superbowl in recent memory.
Calls take points off the board for the Seahawks, but the Seahawks still do more than enough to lose the game even without those setbacks. They seemingly didn't capitalize on anything. The Steelers succeed on three scores. A Gift, a game-breaking run, and a gadget play, and then they do the little things to secure the win. I would be willing to say that the Seahawks Lost this game, but really the Steelers did what they needed to do to beat them. |
