The vaunted Seahawks offense dropped eight passes (hearing footsteps), missed two field goals, mismanaged the clock, and gave up too many big plays.
Holmgren and Hasselbeck made excuses for choking big time and have disappeared since then.
The Steelers were the real deal then and now they're back.
“Not this junk again. The penalties that were called were legit.”
Sorry, Pal, but when you have referees who are told (or want to) give the game to the Steelers, then that’s the kind of football you get . . . calling a penalty (a totally made-up penalty) on the Seahawk quarterback for tackling the guy who intercepted his throw, then you know the game was given to the Steelers. That was the most lopsided game I’ve ever seen. The NFL didn’t want the Seahawks to win that game because the marketing would have been miserable due to the fact that the Seahawks are an isolated team (2,500 miles from another team) and the Steelers . . . well, they deserved it . . . so we’ll make up penalties, put on blinders and take the game away from their opponents. That’s the way the Steelers play (well, they don’t really have to play). Referees will play the game for them. I’ll bet the Seattle fans are still furious at that farce of a Super Bowl.
