First i want to say hi and wish everybody's team good luck in the upcoming year. Second, If anybody (including any steeler fan) thinks that the superbowl chumps actually won because of their play or tuffness is very wrong indeed. Go look at the statistics alone and reverse the score and it all makes sense then. Let us take a look at some of the calls. The push off on jackson; a virtual no-call 99% of the time. The superbowl hero (give me a break) Rothlisburger was in for the touchdown way after his knee was down. Anybody that's not blind could see that. That was a third down. Yea i know what you steeler fans are going to say(they would've just drove the bus down their throats). Again go look at Bettis statistics. Holding on Seattle after a good punt return by Sea. The holding took place way back at the line of scrimmage during the snap/kick. The flag was not thrown until the end of the return. Seems to me the refs waited until the outcome of the play to throw the flag. Another way to late holding call on a Seattle completion to the Pitt. one yardline. Seattle goes up 14 to 10 on an Alexander plunge if the call wasn't made. They showed the replay several times, i saw no holding and nobody else did either. Two play later Hasselback throws a pick, while going to make the tackle he undercuts a Pitt. player. The refs throw a flag for clipping
That tacks on another 15 to an already good int return. As far as i'm concerned Pitt. had 1 killer run from scrimmage in the third that was a legit touchdown. Everything else was a gift from the refs and the NFL. I hope Seattle has as big of a chip on the shoulder as i do.
Motivation should be very easy for any remaining Hawks from last year. I see them doing very well again this year.
Can the Steelers repeat as Super Bowl Champions this season?
