Big List of Bad SB Calls

As far as the Super Bowl goes, I did feel that the game seemed a little bit skewed towards the Steelers, but the only call the was completely wrong the call on Hasselbecks "low block". All the others can be argued either way. Pulling up all the "bad calls" from a thread on the Seattle board doesn't really hold any weight, since the views of the writer are obviously biased.

I just don't buy into the idea that Snyder has anything to do with how a game is called. So what your saying is that the REf's 1 either don't like Snyder (I don't realy see that) or 2 the NFL tells the REFs that they don't want Snyders team to when so call more penalties on the Skins (again that does not make alot of sense). As I've said before that players and coaches make mistakes and so do the REFs. Don't you think that those REFs were as nerves as the players and coaches being on the biggest stage in sports. Its going to happen.

well he was one of two owners to vote no on ref raises or something like that a couple years back

I think its closer to the NBA though, the winners get the benefit of the doubt, and the skins have been losers for a long time. It happened with the wizards last year too.
