Who thinks the refs of the superbowl were biased?

Next time Seattle, play like you want it. Steelers played more like they wanted it.

Poor/weak calls. Seahawks momentum and gameplan shot down by refs.
Seattle had their way with Steelers Defense. Seattle for the most part of the game shackled the Steelers Offense. Seattle could have plays better and more professional in key moments, so what, teams are allowed to make mistakes. Seattle had a awesome game plan, Steelers bliz didn't work, Steelers couldn't stop Seattle from marching down the field with passed and little runs by Alex.. Where were the calls on the Steelers? If the refs brought a microscope into this game, why was the calls more evenly spread amoung the two teams? I think the refs allowed the fans(mostly for Steelers)vigor and euphoria for the home team to dictate their judgment. This is lame because its not supposed to happen in a SB game.

But please, anyone who says Seahawks should have caught those passes or should have played like their true form are just missing it. I won't even bother to elaborate, its that simple to understand what odds the Seahawks were up against...

So Seattle's total inability to run the ball made no difference.

So Seattle's multiple drive-killing dropped passed made no difference.

So Seattle's inability to make FG's made no difference.

So Seattles getting an uncharacteristic amount of penalties made no difference....and don't tell me that they didn't get a lot of legit penalties that they usually don't get.

None of that killed any of their momentum?

Look, the PI call in the endzone definitely was a momentum shifter. But it was a legit, by-the-book call.

The holding call probably deflated them a bit.

But that's it. The call on Hasslebeck didn't hurt Seattle's momentum any...Pittsburgh already had the ball...the bad pass by Hasslebeck is what killed momentum there.

Again, the Steelers completely shut down Seattle's running game, and Seattle was basically unable to move the ball in the red zone. They moved it between the 20's fine, but you can't stop there.
Jeramy Stevens dropped 3 critical passes. One was really a fumble that the Steelers recovered....don't see anyone complaining about the refs missing that one.

Again, I agree that there was some bad reffing in this game, as there had been all season, but luckily, it didn't cost either team the game.

I am not new to the game of football, so please don't try to dissect the game for me because It won't work.

I know what makes or break a game for a football team. A team has only a handful of big plays during a game, anytime you wipe out points from the scoreboard against a team or reverse hard earned yards by questionable calls you can kiss it goodbye. Each one of those calls against the Seahawk were tantamount to a statistical Turnover in a game. Argue whether it was fair judgment on the calls but thats the fact. Seahawks got robbed in this sense more than anything. The zebras were very insensitive to these ramification.

Why not allow the Ben TD to be re-attemped on a 4th down? The call was too close to make, a good refs should know that and realize there was still 4th down left and let the game be played. The refs weren't blind in their calls, they were blind to the underlying dynamics of a game, especially a Superbowl game.

More could have been done better.

i seem to remember a few weeks ago when the steelers played the team that was supposed to win it all a few bad, i mean VERY bad calls going against the steelers and yet they were able to overcome and win the game...so Seattle fans need to shut up and get over the fact that their team didnt play well
