Quoted: There were some bad calls from the officials. I wanted that Leary guy's head on a pike for awhile. How the hell can the ball be in the endzone when his shoulder wasn't.
The Hawks made quite a few errors, and that's what killed us. Chalk it up to first time jitters.
They'll be back, more experienced, better prepared, and that trophy will come back with them.
The Steelers really pulled it together in the 2nd half. All in all, it was a very good game. Kept my blood pumpin'. It's also nice that Bettis got to go out a champion.
If they would have been playing anybody else, I'd be happy as hell.
On the plus side, Seahawks did set a SB record. 76 yard interception return.

I honestly think the TD call was good. He had the ball on his right side and his right shoulder was further forward than his left. When switching the ball to the left side it clearly wasn't in but by then it had already broken the plane. Of course, I am biased.
Now the push-off, that may be questionable, but in this game we rely on the calls of humans, good or bad.
Missed field goals, interceptions, it is never known what can happen in a game until it happens. I thought the Steelers had XXX won, but they didn't.
I agree about the 2nd half. I have seen both teams lose, or almost lose, a game in the 2nd half. I thought it would come down to which could keep the tempo after halftime. I think that was the biggest factor in this game.
I feel the pain of Seahawks fans. I have been there. I'm just glad the host at the party I was at wore black and gold since I didn't have enough time grab my terrible towel.
