Here are a few things for those of you whole still continue to complain about Super Bowl officiating.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1. On plays when there wasn't any penalties...one team made plays...and one team didn't.2. The Refs didn't give up the longest run in Superbowl history.................................................Seattle did.3. The Refs didn't get fooled out of their jocks on a 43 yd trick play, Randle to Ward for a TD, Seattle did.4. The Refs didn't miss two field goals........................................................................... ............Seattle did.5. The Refs didn't drop 4 very catchable balls in KEY SITUATIONS..........................................Seattle's TE did.6. And when the same Seattle TE finally caught a pass, he took 3 steps, was hit by the Safety and fumbled. ....But luckily for Seattle, "The Refs" ruled it Incomplete.7. The Refs didn't carelessly let the 1st half clock tick from 48 seconds ALL THE WAY DOWN to 13 seconds before FINALLY running their next play.................................................................Seattle did.8a. On this play, 54 yds from a FG, 13 secs. left, who foolishly heaved it deep, trying for a TD, rather than a shorter play & timeout to set up an easier FG try which then missed by just a couple feet ?.....Seattle did.8b. Then in 2nd half, 50 yds from a FG on 3rd down, Seattle boneheadedly does the same thing again, they go deep, ignoring trying to get a little closer for the FG which, again missed by a couple feet.9a. On 3rd and 28, Pitt QB Big Ben MAKES a play, scrambling & completing a 37 yd pass to Seattle's 2.9b. On 3rd and 18, Seattle's QB misreads Pitt's zone defense and throws an interception at Pitt's 5. 10. Speaking of 3rd downs, Pitt converted several 3rd downs with plays like the 37 yarder above, QB Runs when nobody was open, a nifty shuttle pass, a shoestring catch by Ward, etc....However, Seattle was only 5 for 17 on 3rd downs, with plays like the INT above, dropped passes, wrecklessly going deep in short yardage situations, etc. 11. Who got a break when Pitt WR Ward dropped an easy TD in the endzone? ......................Seattle did.12. Who got a break when Pitt CB Taylor dropped an easy INT early in the game? ................Seattle did.13. With a Pittsburgh WR wide open in the endzone for a TD that would've put Pitt up 21 - 3, who got a break on a gift-wrapped INT from Pitt QB Big Ben?................................................................................ ..Seattle did.14. Who got a break when the refs missed the Sea. center level Pitt's DE after play was over?....Seattle did15. The Refs didn't fail to step out of bounds to stop the clock late in BOTH halves..................Seattle did.16. Late in the game, needing a TD and FG, in no particular order and currently in easy FG range, who foolishly ignored the FG to fling it deep, throwing incomplete and losing the ball on downs ?.................Seattle did.17. Who kept repeatedly punting through the endzone giving Pitt the ball at the 20?...............Seattle did.18. Who outrushed Seattle and contained their star RB Stephen Alexander (the NFL's leading rusher) enough to force several 3rd downs? Pittsburgh.19. Seattle...the sum total of all the above, your bad coaching decisions & clock mismanagement, breaks on big Pitt mistakes, breaks from the Refs, and your inability to make big plays adds up to...............NO EXCUSES!!!</div>

[/quote]Who is Stephen Alexander? :LMAO:[/quote]You're the Broncos fan [/quote]Yeah Stephen Alexander is a TE. Hence why I put the laughing thing. I remember the incredibly sick one handed grab he had against the Pats I think it was. The Pats or the Skins.
