Um...yeah - I'm the one that needs to get in touch with reality...

Fact is, he botched the last couple of minutes of both halves, not to mention he was mediocre at best for a good portion of the second half. It doesn't make him an awful coach, but it sure makes your claim that he "perfectly coached 58-59 minutes out of 60" sound a bit silly.

holmgren botched or his players botched ? i say his players. i don't think i said he was perfect for 58,59 minutes but what i did say was he had a perfect gameplan and that he coached well for 58, 59 minutes. the gameplan was good, it was the execution that faultered.

.

if you don't believe that the officiating was one sided and had a direct impact on the outcome of the game then yes, you are out of touch with reality.

i'm not really sure what your problem is, but I think all this crackpot conspiracy stuff is a little over the top and that statement up there is highly ironic.

i have no problem, i never said this game was fixed but what i did say was that i would not be surprised if one day we find out that it was. what i also said is that it surely looked as though it was fixed. worse, most one sided officiating i have ever seen. thats my opinion, you don't like it, oh well.

Parcells was interviewed on the radio tuesday, and was asked what he thought about the officiating? And he said he never critisizes the officials and wasen't going to start now, but he did say that he felt that those penalties determined the outcome of that game. He kind of in a round about way blamed the officiating by saying those calls were tough.

Personally I think that game raised a lot of eyebrows of suspicion about the legitamcy of the game.

it did with me as well. i'm pretty sure other sports have had fixed games or events ( example- dale jr. winning that race after his fathers death ). i never thought football games were fixed and i'm still not convinced they are but that superbowl was definately fishy.
