Super Bowl XL

[Red Baron]

The NHL had allready one call that cost the title game, depending on who you talk to.

 

If Seattle gets a TD, go for two.

[Hawk 34]

I have a feeling even the NFL knew that was obvious and made sure that it was overturned. If that stayed, this game would forever live in shame.

 

Now the Seahawks have no excuses, they MUST score here to have a prayer. It's still close enough.

[Guest Smues]

Now the refs can say LOOK WE GOT ONE RIGHT SEE WE'RE NOT BIASED REALLY.

[Urban Warfare]

Man, those 2 missed FGs plus the INT in the redzone are really starting to haunt me.

[naiwf]

But Seattle loses a challenge they shouldn't have. It likely won't matter, but still they end up taking a hit because the refs are blind.

[Bored]

What the hell, I'll pour fule on the conspiracy fire (I actually don't care, kinda pulling for Seattle but doesn't really effect me either way)...from December 4th:

Sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Holmgren has been blackballed by the league's officiating office.

[Urban Warfare]

Gotta go for it, here, Mike.

[Red Baron]

Sacked, right from the right side.

 

 

And Boom!

[Urban Warfare]

Horrible choice to not go for it.

[Boon]

Never even saw it coming....

[Hawk 34]

That's a complete lack of faith in your QB, from Holmgren.

[Red Baron]

How can you have faith on them when its kinda hard to get momentum when there is an extra five players on the opposing team on the field.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

oh yeah..there was about 2 seconds between 0 and TIMEOUT!!!

[Urban Warfare]

Penalties:

 

Seattle: 7 for 70 yards

Pittsburgh: 3 for 20 yards

 

And most of Seattle's penalites have cost them big gains, or big plays.

[Boon]

Didn't get it off, but hey, no big deal.

[naiwf]

The one thing I'm looking forward to is Mike and The Mad Dog tomorrow because they usually get the head of officials Mike Perreira (?) on to discuss all of the blown calls in the prior week. I wonder if Mikey P. might just end up being "sick" tomorrow.

[Urban Warfare]

First down, Game, set, match.

[Hawk 34]

They really are determined to get Bettis in the end zone, aren't they?

 

So who is the (legit) MVP? Parker or Ward?

[Bored]

Unless they give it to Parker (he's not in the game) and he breaks another big one, Ward is the MVP.

[Adam]

I say Ward.

[Urban Warfare]

As pissed as I am, I won't say "Refs" so..

 

Should be: Ward

Will be: Bettis

[Bored]

Bettis has 37 yards rushing. Not even the NFL would be so overly sentimental to give him the award.

[Adam]

Surely not. Even if Bettis gets a TD, at the moment he has 11 carries for 37 yards. Ward has 5 catches for 123, plus one rush for 18 yards.

[Hawk 34]

Will they go "THIS ONE'S FOR JEROME!"? when they are on the platform?

[Boon]

It better not be Bettis....

[Slayer]

They didn't see fit to give it to Elway when he finally won (for good reason of course), so I don't see them doing it here

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

I can't see Bettis getting MVP

[Boon]

Ugh. Fuck that shoestring tackle.

[naiwf]

Now Big Ben is destined for Canton thanks to having the zebras in his hip pocket and making Trent Dilfer look like Dan Marino.

[Urban Warfare]

Hah, honeslty, I hated Ben going into this game, and now I HATE him. He is the most undeserving QB to ever win a Super Bowl. It makes me sick that a guy like him will win and someone like Dan Marino never did.
