For Seattle, although Hasselbeck had good stats, there is no way that some of the other great QB's we've seen win Super Bowls in the last 15-20 years (Favre, Young, Montana, Simms, Aikman, Brady) would have let their offense fall apart like they did at the end of each half.
That, and clock management, which is a sideline responsibility. Ending the first half with a timeout left was poor, as was Hasselback spending thirty seconds running around calling an audible (or whatever the hell he was doing). That looked Mickey Mouse.
But the worst of the game was the officiating. When the officials are so much a part of the game, something is wrong.
There's an unwritten rule in the National Hockey League when it comes to the refs in the playoffs: you guys don't fight, and we'll let you play.
That's the way it usually works out. There are very few fights once the playoffs start, and penalties aren't called unless they're blatant.
Thus, the NHL playoffs are among the best championship series in professional sports.
Too much interference from the refs in this year's NFL playoffs have made them the worst in my memory.
