Many of the same people who are claiming that the officiating was fair or "wasn't that bad" would all bet Pitt again, as they would be in denial that the Seabags kicked their asses all over the field, save for 3 plays.
I'd take my chances on Seattle again, provided they don't forget about DJax.
if Seattle gets a an early TD or some other play it might have acted to wake up Pitt who played the worst possible game because they could get away with it. its not as easy to say Sea got screwed, as Pitt was dreadful and still beat Seattle with a big run and a long pass.
If seattle challenged them they might have woken up and actually played bit.

Why replay the game.
FINAL SCORE : PITTSBURGH 21 SEATTLE 10
SUPER BOWL XL CHAMPS: PITTSBURGH STEELERS.
ALL the crybabies need to get off the rag and go watch the game again. Pittsburgh got screwed more than Seattle in that game. 2 Seattle fumbles that Pittsburgh recovered were either overturned or not called.
The pass interference was just that PASS INTERFERENCE. READ THE RULES. If an offensive player pushes off the defender in order to make a catch its called pass interference. CORRECT CALL MADE.
The 15 yard penalty on Hasselback was called against Jeff Hartings earlier in the year. He dove through a block to make the tackle and was flagged just like Hasselback was. CORRECT CALL MADE.
The hold that would have put Seattle down on the 1 yard line was just that a hold. Go back and look at the CBS replay, the offensive lineman held the defender with his arm around the defenders shoulder. CORRECT CALL MADE. Anyone who doesnt know jack shit about football and heard the overrated fat ass Madden say it was a bad call is obviously going to jump on that. Did anyone see the NFL network after the game? The ex player who was the analyst (name is escaping me right now) said it was the correct call.
The only call that Seattle got screwed on was the Big Ben TD. I was shocked that they didnt reverse that. But lets not forget Pittsburgh would have had a 4th and goal from the 1 foot line if it was reversed. As Ben said last night on Letterman, they were preapared to go for it and as tall as he is the qb sneak would have worked very easily there.
All the whiners who think Seattle got screwed should be yelling at Holmgren and Hasselback for that putrid 2 minute drill at the end of the first half. How bout your kicker making a field goal. Granted they werent gimmies but his job is to make those kicks, especially in a game of this magnitude. Then Seattle cant stop Pittsburgh in the last 4 minutes when everyone on the planet knew that Pittsburgh was going to run the ball. How about telling your punter NOT TO KICK IT IN THE END ZONE 3 striaght times. How about telling your loud mouth TE to CATCH the ball and not DROP the ball 3 out of the 4 times it was thrown his way.
Pittsburgh won and Seattle lost and thats that. This board has become nothing but a bunch of whining little bitches. LET IT GO, ITS OVER, PITTSBURGH IS YOUR SUPER BOWL XL CHAMPIONS!!!!
