Ha! My dad is a Raiders Nut. He STILL complains about the Immaculate Reception whenever the Steelers are playing. Don’t even dare mention the name Tom Brady within his earshot.
“To be fair, here’s one play Seattle fans seem to be conveniently forgetting: On Kelly Herndon’s 76-yard interception return, there was clearly a block in Roethlisberger’s back. The ball should have been placed somewhere around midfield rather than Pittsburgh’s 20. Which, of course, could have affected whether or not Seattle scores a touchdown on that drive.”
"All in all, I don’t think this game was the atrocity people (and some buzz-mongering media members) are making it out to be. People are making far too many assumptions about this game. We can’t assume the Steelers wouldn’t have scored on fourth and inches had Roethlisberger’s touchdown been nullified. We can’t assume Seattle would have scored from the Pittsburgh 2-yard line.
We also can’t assume the Seahawks would have scored had Herndon’s pick been placed at the 50. Seattle fans can complain all they want, but they are making a lot of assumptions by saying a win was taken away from them. Lest we forget, the Seahawks still had their chances to win. The missed field goals, poor punting, dropped passes and fourth-quarter interception didn’t help."
It was a poorly reffed game, and if you wana say there were worse games than this one, it isnt helping, because it is people like you who keep attending games and buying tickets to watch games that are poorly reffed. Its those who support football still that are the problem, oh well it wasnt as bad as last year or whatever, too bad that doesnt help the situation does it?
Im not a Seatle nor a Pittsburgh fan, I could of cared less who won, but the officiating was pathetic and ruins good football games. If you dont think so, maybe you should read the rules of football. One of the calls was overturned, because it should have been called properly in the first place.
