Steelers Win! Official Superbowl 2006 Thread!

That was an all around ugly super bowl. The game, half time show, refs. Just terrible. I'm glad Steelers won, but that can't hang with the last 4 bowls.

Ok i think everyone would agree that this was no classic game and up until halftime it could have gone either way,But all that statistics will reveal is that the Steelers beat the Seahawks and went on to join that exclusive group of teams that has won 5 Superbowls..

I think its the awomest thing ever. this is the first superbowl ive seen with the steelers in it, and im pleased to see them win it.

^ yes, the ball did get over, but he was NOT down. and as you can clearly see in te replay, he was down, and untucked the ball, and then stretced is rm out, over the goal line. i d steeler fans at my house, and even they said te ball didnt get into the endzone.

D-Jack was just trying to get his arm up, and ten the defender pushed off of him. the refs wanted to see that fat ass jerome bettis win one, and i for one am ashamed of the NFL officiating in this game.

Seems like it's time for a rule book refresher course. As long as any part of the ball crosses the goal line it's a touchdown, whether the player is down or not. Secondly, if an offensive receiver pushes off of a defender using his forearm it is not pass interferance. However, if the offensive receiver extends his arm fully and pushes away the defender, then that is called offensive pass interferance. If everyone actually knew the rules of football, there would be less whining about the officials and more enjoyment of the game.

wat i dont understand, is IF the bal was over, y was the ref at first running, signaling the ball was down at the 1 yard, and then after roethlisberg puled the ball out from under his balls, and then moved it, and THEN all for a TD. look at that replay, theres no evidence he made it over officially. the interference call was BS, the both of them were tangled up, if its not ONE players fault, let them play ref. i would of trusted stevie wonder more as a ref than levie, or watever that refs name was.

so much for that TD...

this article basically proves my pint, and its by someone obviously pro-steeler, anti-seattle http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...bayless/060205

Listen bro I understand you're upset and all, but YOU yourself said that the ball went over the goal line before Rothlesburger hit the ground. As far as the pass interferance goes, let's say it was BS and give Seattle the TD. Final score of Super Bowl XL: Steelers 21 Seattle 17. Steelers still win, case closed.

then i watched the replay on ESPN.com, and i saw no evidence that ball went over. plus, those phantom holding penaltys that would have gotten us inside the ten a couple of times killed the hawks, plus the holding calls on the ount returns killed us. the better team didnt win, look at the season stats, the season record, and the game stats. yeah, i am a bit ofa sore loser, but im sure if you were in my position, you would be to. anyone who said the officating couldnt of swung the game around, is living a lie.
