It's not like Pitt wasen't doing the same things on third down, it's not like Pitt didn't drop passes, how about we make it a level playing field, let's give Pitt the same penalties on their big play's as seattle recieved and see how well they played once you take them away? let's say just 2 big play's, the 3rd and 28 conversion to the 1, and the TD to ward, just 2 play's and Seattle wins, even with all those ridiculous penalties.

The fact is there was no interference by the ref's when Pitt needed a big play, but it sure seemed like they were Johnny on the spot when Seattle was on the move.

i think you and i might be the only two on this site that actually watched and paid attention to the superbowl.

1. The game wasn't fixed by the NFL or the refs.

2. Seattle lost the game with their less than stellar play but the calls made against them did not hurt the Steelers in any way. And the preponderance of less-than-fully-obvious calls went against the Seahawks.


Now, with regard to the hideously self-serving statement by Greg Aiello, here is what I wrote in my rant for today in my Internet column. If I were ever to be on trial for something where jail time might be one of the outcomes of the affair, then I want Greg Aiello on my jury. I wonder whom he believes shot Lee Harvey Oswald.

I think Pittsburgh's offense was exposed a bit even though they won the game. I think they lose that game seven or eight times out of ten.

I also think the Redskins could learn from Holmgren's strategy of using three and five step drops to throw on first down. At times the Seahawks made it look easy against a very strong Pittsburgh defense. When Pitt can't get pressure, they struggle because they have an average secondary. The Redskins did a much better job against Seattle because they have one or two guys that can actually cover.

I don't know if Pitt's O was exposed I think it was alot of poor execution from both teams.

Maybe we can do a poll? Who outplayed who in the SB.

I thought we should a Ramsey v/s brunell poll.

besides a few people on this site i have yet to talk to or hear someone on tv that thinks seattle did not outplay pitt. everyone i've talked to or seen says that basically seattle lost the game moreso than pitt won. they all point to the bad play of stevens and the "questionable" officiating.

maybe you have talked to or seen people that feel differently, thats great but i'm just giving you a little day in the life of wolfeskins.
