are these refs corrupt or just inept?

HiloBoy · Feb 5, 2006

this game is a joke.

Dante · Feb 5, 2006

why watch it then?

D2bets · Feb 5, 2006

Probably a lot of both.

Seymour · Feb 5, 2006

Pretty clear why Pitt is winning.

I watch it because I am stupid enough to hope that it will become exciting.

Why do people watch the aftermath of a car accident??? LOL
A lot of anti-Steelers fans here tonight Dante huh?

Journeyman · Feb 5, 2006

I'm not anti Pittsburgh, just lets have the SB Champ win the game, I really didn't expect the Refs to be this bad in this big a game...this is a damn shame

REDEYE · Feb 5, 2006

Refs killed another drive with that phantom holding call. this is worse then UnLV and Duke back in 91

Jacksorbetter+ · Feb 5, 2006

How do they call blocking below the waist on hasselbeck as he makes the tackle.

Intruder · Feb 5, 2006

corrupt...anyone who says anything else is not watching.

REDEYE · Feb 5, 2006

Sorry Steeler Fan but I won't recognize a Championship here anymore then I Dukes in 91. This is blatant. I'm not sure why either because There treating Bettis like this is Elways las game or something. Fuck this

quantumleap · Feb 5, 2006

I cannot believe they called a fumble on that last run! I can't remember seeing something so obvious called the other way.

Mr.Smith · Feb 5, 2006

THIS IS INSANE!:headbeat:

REFS ARE FUCKING KILLING SeATTLE

unconscious · Feb 5, 2006

This is bullshit, as a Steeler fan, there will be a mark on this championship, should they win. That just plain fucking sucks, I'd almost rather lose. THIS IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS. Although I will be making money....ok I'm calm.

you know, for years i have heard people say the nfl was fixed. i never believed it. until now.

that was the most unbelievably officiated game i have ever watched. i am in shock.

D2bets · Feb 5, 2006

Everyone has seen isolated bad calls in games, sometimes costly ones. But I don't think there has ever been a game officiated in such a one-sided manner from start to finish and on so many crucial plays. Both calls and non-calls.

This is a low for the NFL. Hopefulyl we'll never see anything likethis again. And hopefuly it eas Bill Leavy's last game as an NFL referee. Maybe he made enough that he doesn't care.

Blue, I said the same thing in another post. The tackle "below the waste" call takes the cake. But some of those phantom holding calls were a close second. I won't laugh now when someone says the fix is in...after seeing it with my own eyes...it just might be

Did Pitts have one holding penatly called against them? I see they had three penalities in the game. Anyone remember them? One was a false start near the beginning of the game I remember.

2 of them were false starts on the opening drive. The other was an offensive pass interference on an incompletion in the 2nd quarter. Pitt had no penalties in the 2nd half.

Unreal. Don't know how you can go a whole game w/o a holding call. Is that even possible anymore in the NFL?
