NFL Playoffs

[naiwf]

1) Bad call on offensive pass interference on what should have been the first Seattle TD.

2) Big Ben did NOT score.

3) The Steelers held on Parker's TD.

4) The Steelers held on the Randle El to Ward TD.

5) There was no holding on the play that Stevens caught at the two, Seattle ended up punting when it got called back.

6) There was no holding on Seattle during the run back to midfield. They ended up punting from deep in their own territory.

7) In the first quarter there was no holding on a play that Seattle had gotten a first down on. Naturally they didn't convert and had to punt.

8) Hasselbeck cannot low block someone he's tackling. 15 more free yards for Pittsburgh.

9) The delay of game that was 2 seconds over the limit

10) The "fumble" that wasn't.

Would you like me to continue, or is that enough?

Quit your bitching. If I'm not allowed to bitch about how Tampa Gets screwed all the time, then your not allowed to bitch about seattle being screwed.

[Hellfire]

Fuck naiwf, did you bet on the Seahawks or are you just bitter about everything?

[naiwf]

I don't like Seattle. I'm glad they lost because now they know what it feels like when the refs dick you over, but when the World Champion is determined by guys wearing stripes it shouldn't be condoned.

[EddieRuckus]

Even I know the refs weren't against the Seahawks, the refs made 3 bad calls against them but they also allowed a couple of holds by the Hawks on a few key plays. The Steelers were a better team and I know that's the reason why they won, not because the refs handed the game to them.

[Evil Chase K]

I don't give a damn about ANYONE complaining. They can't bring me down!

HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!

2) Ben's arm is on the goal line while he's in the air. He has the ball in his hand, connected to that arm. How is the ball NOT on the goal line and therefore a touchdown?

I don't understand football at all. His arm =/= the ball.

Plus the pushing thing is so fucking lame. What the hell kind of contact sport IS this?

[Evil Chase K]

I thought the corner of the ball crossed the plain, maybe it was only by a centimeter, but it looked like it did.

But then again I might be a little biased.

But then again, I wouldn't be the only one.

Since I'm the "only" one who thought the game was poorly officiated why is every other board I've visited during the game and since calling this the worst officiated SB ever?

Overturning a call you blow is still blowing a call oldskool. Fixing a glaring mistake doesn't erase the fact that a mistake was made. Whatever though, I'm not going to argue about the Steelers' tainted title victory because Seattle should have blown them out by 20 bad calls or not.

[Mofoticon]

It was a poorly officiated game, the refs blew a lot of calls, but the Steelers were still clearly the better team.

[gunnar hendershow]

That officiating was terrible I thought. Most of the bad calls were to Pittsburgh's benefit too, lucky guys. Seattle made a few mistakes that if they weren't made could've made up for the officiating calls that hurt them.

Pretty lackluster game in any case.

[Big Red Fury]

For how the Seahawks played in the first half, they should have been up 14-3.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Seem to understand the main rules now, then along comes another fifty complicated little rules that put me right off. There really is so much to this game, certainly going to take a while to understand the lot of it. At least I've got the main stuff sorted.

As I'm new to the rules and game, I couldn't really argue whether something was wrong or not, so I just enjoyed the game really. Ben Roethlisberger has become my favourite player already, yeah, he's awesome

Despite it probably being explained over and over in here, can someone explain something. Not long after the start, Seattle seemed to score a touchdown, yet points never got awarded or something. I don't get that. What did the receiving player actually do wrong? I just saw him nudge passed the other guy inside the area, catch the ball and yet for some reason the points never got awarded. Probably a simple explanation, can someone help me out and tell me what that's all about?

[SeanDMan]

It's called pass interference. When you touch a guy so far passed the line of scrimmage before the ball arrives and delay or disrupt him, it's flagged. The call was very, very, very marginal and it probably should have been a touchdown, but it wasn't.

The one you say was blown was overturned, exactly what replays are designed to do.
