Super Bowl XL

[kingfc22]

I hope they don't run Bettis again on 3rd down..But it is his homecoming game. He has to go out with a TD in the Super Bowl.


If Cowher was smart he would play-action.

[SunDevil]

How can they do a remake of Posideon(sp? GrantDawg). Wasn't the first one good enough, old yes, but it was still good.

[vex]

TD!!!!!!!!

[SunDevil]

damn

[kingfc22]

line judge came in to spot the ball and then gave him a TD.

[kingfc22]

NO TD!!

[Eaglesfan27]

That looked very close...

[Craptacular]

That side judge should make up his mind BEFORE Ben moves the ball.

[tucker rocky]

No TD!

[TroyF]

What an absolutely HORRIBLE call. My God, what a joke. The ref should lose his job on the spot. That wasn't that close.

[DaddyTorgo]

THAT HAS GOTTA BE NO TD!!!

[biological warrior]

That doesnt look like it got in.

[SunDevil]

short mother f*&^ther

[DaddyTorgo]

wow. that's a huge play

[tucker rocky]

Ball never crossed the goalline

[Craptacular]

I actually think it was a TD, before he got knocked back.

[kingfc22]

These refs this postseason have been awful. WTF, made him change his mind. Does he know that once you are down you can't move the ball forward.

[Senator]

Biased no from me.

[Glengoyne]

The Football gods should be angered if that gets ruled a touchdown.

[biological warrior]

Ah The Overstock.com commercial.

[SirFozzie]

even pittsburgh radio says flat out.. "He was short'

[vex]

That was over the line.

[kingfc22]

Look where the ball is when Ben picks it up and moves it.

[Eaglesfan27]

I think it is a touchdown, although I admit I'm biased. It looks like the tip of the ball breaks the plane of the chalk.

[duckman]

Ah The Overstock.com commercial.
She's yummy.

[SunDevil]

If that makes anyone feel better, most of the crew are in their first SB. Of course this makes no sense because of the rest of the playoffs, but hey its the NFL, its FANTASTIC (ripped from the sports guy about the NBA) :)

[biological warrior]

Those stats on Bill Leavy dont look good. Oh how come Ive never heard of anyone of these refs? Where is Ed Hoculi?

[SunDevil]

BS

[Glengoyne]

I think it is a touchdown, although I admit I'm biased. It looks like the tip of the ball breaks the plane of the chalk.
See my note about the football gods

[Craptacular]

Correct call, but I think the line judge did a poor job originally.

[vex]

TD!!!!!!!!

wooooooooo!

[SirFozzie]

wow. And the crappy officiating strikes again..

[DaddyTorgo]

WOW. that is some serious bullshit. i can see that here at home. someone deserves to be fucking fired.

[biological warrior]

How could you rule that a TD?

[Bearcat729]

I'm not so sure that was a TD

[tucker rocky]

After further review, ball looks to have barely crossed the line, maybe.

[Senator]

Only in the modern era of football do they give touchdowns away so easily.

[TroyF]

Just terrible. There is no way that ball broke the plane and they can't even get it right after watching the replay. Simply unbelievable.

What a terrible call.

[kingfc22]

One TD taken away and one TD giveth.

[timmynausea]

It was inconclusive. You stick with the original call.

[st.cronin]

That call is not a big deal, in my mind. It was close enough that it could have gone either way, and I think Cowher goes for it on 4th and 1 inch, and there's probably a 75 chance they make it. Not a big deal even if it's a wrong call, which I don't know for sure that it is.

[Craptacular]

He had it cradled in his arm, and it looks like the front of the ball just BARELY hit the front of the goalline before his elbow got hit.

edit: not the goalline itself ... the line extended upward

[GrantDawg]

How could you rule that a TD?
By raising both arms in the air. It wasn't that clear either way.

[SunDevil]

F DisnyLand. Does anyone wan to know the cost of how much it costs to get a family of four to get in for one day. Close to two hundred bucks for long lines an overpriced foods. No I am not bitter :)

[miami_fan]

Wow Now we get to hear about the conspiracy against the Seahawks and the entire West Coast!

[biological warrior]

Where do they find these refs?

[kingfc22]

It was inconclusive. You stick with the original call.The problem is that the LJ was originally going to spot it at the 1 and after Ben moved the ball into the endzone he gave him a TD.

[SunDevil]

And yes I am well on my way of getting wasted.

[st.cronin]

penalties, also known as stupid mistakes, have hurt the hawks way more than the refs

[timmynausea]

The problem is that the LJ was originally going to spot it at the 1 and after Ben moved the ball into the endzone he gave him a TD.

That's true. But I can't blame them for not overturning it because the video is inconclusive.

[Huckleberry]

penalties, also known as stupid mistakes, have hurt the hawks way more than the refs
Who calls those penalties again?

I recall at least three bullshit ticky tack calls against the 'Hawks. This has been atrocious.

[st.cronin]

The problem is that the LJ was originally going to spot it at the 1 and after Ben moved the ball into the endzone he gave him a TD.

I don't think it's exactly what happened. I think he wanted to see where the goal line was in relation to what he had seen.

[kingfc22]

That's true. But I can't blame them for not overturning it because the video is inconclusive.Yep and if the ref would have stuck with his original call and not changed his mind after Ben moved the ball. The Steelers would of had to decide whether to kick or not since they would not have overruled it to a TD.

[TroyF]

penalties, also known as stupid mistakes, have hurt the hawks way more than the refs


There is ZERO doubt about that one.

Seattle has to make sure they don't make a boneheaded play here to end the half and get some points or at least go in down only 7-3 and then come out in the second half and play the same way minus the mistakes.

There is no doubt they are the better football team here. None at all.

[Craptacular]

oohhhh let's see that again

[SunDevil]

In bounds bit**

[vex]

wow, that was close.

[Craptacular]

ok .. good call

[st.cronin]

Who calls those penalties again?

I recall at least three bullshit ticky tack calls against the 'Hawks. This has been atrocious.

That's silly. All of the penalties called have been appropriate.

[SunDevil]

F**K when can the Seahawks catch a break

[GrantDawg]

That's silly. All of the penalties called have been appropriate.

Same calls against the Steelers. I'm not seeing the "conspiracy."

[Craptacular]

wow I agree with Madden (not understanding that last play call)

[biological warrior]

WTF!

[Senator]

WTF are they doing?

[kingfc22]

Seattle taking a page out of the Eagles book.

[st.cronin]

Mike Holmgren has proven that he can win a Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame QB. So, I think the Steelers probably pull this one out, even with Cowher's bad record in big games.

[kingfc22]

Don't like any of these recent playcalls

[SunDevil]

At least Hasselback is not puking on the field :)

[SunDevil]

damn

[TroyF]

wow I agree with Madden (not understanding that last play call)


What horrible clock management.

Long FG, Seattle better hope this doesn't get blocked. And now they give the Steelers tim to throw a long one if they want.

[Senator]

That would have been ugly at the high school level.

[GrantDawg]

Bizarro ending of the half.

[miami_fan]

Bad sequence there for Seattle

[st.cronin]

Mike Holmgren owes his team 3 points.

[Craptacular]

Seattle pretty much dominated, and is trailing at the half. Wow.

[kingfc22]

Unreal that the Seahawks go into the half down after outplaying the Steelers.

Hope the 2nd half is just as close. :D

[biological warrior]

If the Seahawks lose this one they have no oe to blame but themselves.

[Buccaneer]

There is ZERO doubt about that one.

Seattle has to make sure they don't make a boneheaded play here to end the half and get some points or at least go in down only 7-3 and then come out in the second half and play the same way minus the mistakes.

There is no doubt they are the better football team here. None at all.
Troy, you speaketh in a lot of absolutes.

[Eaglesfan27]

Seattle hurt themselves with that bad clock management at the end of the half more than the refs hurt them in my opinion.

[st.cronin]

pffffffffft hahahaha

Is Holmgren stoned???

[SunDevil]

Cowher seems calm, Holmgren seems pissed off. Shouldn't this be the opposite? :)

[Craptacular]

During halftime analysis, I'm going back on the DVR for a few things.

[DaddyTorgo]

haha. so is holmgren saying that the booth guys say that the ball didn't cross the line? isn't the booth guy supposed to make the call there, and the ref on the field can't overrule him?

[Greyroofoo]

My squares aren't lookin too good :(

[biological warrior]

Cowher seems calm, Holmgren seems pissed off. Shouldn't this be the opposite? :) He said something about the ball not crossing the line, and something about ''upstairs'' and the refs.

[cthomer5000]

Bizarro ending of the half.
indeed. extremely strange stuff there.

[SunDevil]

I have no desire to see halftime. But then again I want to watch old senile people playing music. Will someone yell BINGO in the middle of a song? :)

[cthomer5000]

My squares aren't lookin too good :(
I just won $75 on the halftime score. Thought i was doomed by that field goal attempt for a second, it was nearly good.

[biological warrior]

haha. so is holmgren saying that the booth guys say that the ball didn't cross the line? isn't the booth guy supposed to make the call there, and the ref on the field can't overrule him? I think the ref has jurisdiction, unless in college where the man above has the power.

[GrantDawg]

I have no desire to see halftime. But then again I want to watch old senile people playing music. Will someone yell BINGO in the middle of a song? :)

Anybody renting whatever perverted PPV being offered?

[SunDevil]

Anybody renting whatever perverted PPV being offered?


I am in, just let me know what channel. ;)

[AlexB]

Thoughts so far...

The Star Spangles Banner was THE worst I have ever heard

Agree with all the calls bar Jerramy Stevens no-catch: should have been a fumble, and maybe one other - not sure of the rules in this case: if the pylon is the goalline, on DJack's OB catch at the end I thought he got his left foot in and hit the pylon with his right knee, although his foot then carried on OB - nobody made any noise, so I assume knee+pylon is OB

How is Randle El walking let alone playing after that hit?

Seahawks have been the better team, but are makong dumb mistakes at bad times

Mike Holmgren got his 2 minute offense playcalling from FOF ;)

Every time I see Hines Ward, he reminds me more and more of Benny from Top Cat!

The game's simmering so far rather than boiling - intriguing rather than stunning

[TroyF]

Mike Holmgren has proven that he can win a Super Bowl with a Hall of Fame QB. So, I think the Steelers probably pull this one out, even with Cowher's bad record in big games.


I dunno. I've said it before, but there isn't any doubt who the better team on the field was that half. They play the same exact way in the second half without the mistakes, Pittsburgh will lose the game.

If the Steelers make adjustments and come out better, the Hawks will be in trouble.

The thing Seattle has to be frightened of is that everything is going Pitt's way in terms of the officiating and the breaks. Hell, even the Stevens non "fumble" was a break for the Steelers. They got the spots, they got the penalty decisions, they got the close calls. Every single one of them. Sometimes the team of destiny crap applies.

[tucker rocky]

Time to get Rolling Stoned.

[Senator]

They are trying to pull in the male viewers for Deperate Housewives it seems by appealing to us from our rugged heroes.

Sorry guys. No thanks.

[Izulde]

Whoot Steelers up at half!

[tucker rocky]

I like the view on that replay, Lingerie Bowl

[SunDevil]

Any accouting of the Lingerie Bowl? Last year I heard it was not that good.

[tucker rocky]

What a tackle, Lingerie Bowl.

[SunDevil]

WTTTTFFFFFF. I have never watched Lost, but what the hell is going on here. Why can't they be like Tom Hanks and either hang themselves or get off the f*&k island?

[SunDevil]

Big enough stage???

[SunDevil]

Ten bucks that Mick will pass out if he tries to walk around the whole tongue stage.

[Senator]

Question:

Do we cherish the Rolling Stones as something to love and see it as an honor to watch or do we feel perhaps they are an irrelevant joke?

[st.cronin]

Ron Burgundy says The Rolling Stones were a baaaaaaaad choice.

[tucker rocky]

Can somebody interpret Mick?

[twothree]

That was a ....weird?... No, silly first half. Makes me think whoever programmed the play-by-play needs to issue a patch. That stuff isn't suppose to happen during a Superbowl game.

Bad clock management, bad ref calls, bad play selection, a new ball used on each play,...is this game being simmed with Maximum Football???

[SunDevil]

holy s#%t did he just make around the tongue stage, damn I am out ten bucks.

[tucker rocky]

Nip slip in the LB. :D

[SunDevil]

And yes I am still in the process of getting drunk

[Craptacular]

After reviewing the tape, Ben did stay behind the LOS on his long pass, he did score a TD, and Mick seems to be forgetting to keep the mike in front of his gigantic mouth half the time.

[Buccaneer]

Most. Overrated. Rockband. Of. All. Time. (not to mention the worse lead guitarist ever). So there.

[sabotai]

Same calls against the Steelers. I'm not seeing the "conspiracy."I'm not either. I think the game has been called well and the only reason the Seahawks are down is because of their mistakes, not because of luck or bad calls.

[AlexB]

Question:

Do we cherish the Rolling Stones as something to love and see it as an honor to watch or do we feel perhaps they are an irrelevant joke?

I know this is probably a minority opinion, but while I accept that the Beatles did more to change music, the Stones' songs hold up better today...

[sabotai]

Most. Overrated. Rockband. Of. All. Time. (not to mention the worse lead guitarist ever). So there.Would you rather have some hardly known hip-hop singers and a boy band?

[GrantDawg]

I'm not either. I think the game has been called well and the only reason the Seahawks are down is because of their mistakes, not because of luck or bad calls.
Best assesment I've seen in this thread.

[biological warrior]

Since its Detroit I would have prefered a Motown type tribute and, or a Barbershop Quartet.

[SunDevil]

I know this is probably a minority opinion, but while I accept that the Beatles did more to change music, the Stones' songs hold up better today...


Hold up better today??? I will take Beatlles songs over Rolling Stones anyday, but I must drunk because I can't believe you said that. But to each his own. :)

[tucker rocky]

Tackling Christy Hemme=10 grand :D

[ThunderingHERD]

:rolleyes:

[GrantDawg]

But are you drunk, SunDevil?

[st.cronin]

Would you rather have some hardly known hip-hop singers and a boy band?

I think the best halftime show ever was U2. Still, this is Detroit. Shouldn't they be doing something motownish, or perhaps get eminem? The Stones just seem so pointless.

[Buccaneer]

Would you rather have some hardly known hip-hop singers and a boy band?
Yes, because they can't be any worse. Always been a Stones hater. Richards only knows how to play the same lick over and over and tonight, he can barely even hold the guitar, let alone play it.

[SunDevil]

True. But I like Mick's last response, at least they still have a sense of humor. And do I, so lets see what happens in the second half, and lets have some fun.

[biological warrior]

I would have prefered some Acappella or a barbershop quartet over the stones.

[Buccaneer]

A Motown tribute would have been cool, esp. with so many of the legends passing away.

[SunDevil]

Can he make it across the tongue for the second time, can we get some 24 hour type tension please. ;)

[SnowMan]

Ok just stopped in at halftime (Stones suck). Seattle looks good, but the scoreboard wins the game. They gotta stop the bad-timing penalties and oversome a couple questionable calls and put some points on the board. Pittsburgh hasn't really stopped them, they've stopped themselves. And to be fair, it sure looked like Stevens fumbled early in the game. Not that a 14 point swing doesn't affect the game. D-Jack's TD overturned was bs, and it sure didn't look like the ball crossed on Ben's TD (but it was VERY close and could have gone either way).

[biological warrior]

NFL really missed out on a good PR story notgiving Half time a MO town feel.

[Senator]

I think Enuff Z Nuff was available.

[GrantDawg]

I would have prefered some Acappella or a barbershop quartet over the stones.

I would have preferred Joss Stone and Jessica Simpson...

[ThunderingHERD]

Keith Richards is one of the greatest musical geniuses of his time. Crafted more memorable guitar hooks than anyone, and wrote all of the vocal melodies for the band with more memorable hit songs than anyone else.

No, it was Keith Richards Depends falling out of his pants.

The Stones honestly look like they all would need a pharmacist to get boners.

I agree.

You sir, are insane. I'm filling a committment immediately!

I "discovered" the Beatles when I was 18 and they hooked me. I brought every one of their CD's, albums, whatever I could get my hands on. Their music holds up MUCH better in my opinion. I'm willing to bet that they will hook my son (should I have one) in 20-30 years. I don't think the Rolling Stones will do that.

I hate local commercials. They just make me feel poor as I sit in my apartment as they talk to my rich scottsdale neighbors. :) (An AZ thing)

Honestly, I agree with Buc.

The Rolling Stones are hacks (now). They need to just hang that shit up. Yech.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles too - but when I listen to them they sound more dated to me. Still great, but more obviously from years before my time.

Wow. You must have a small circle of music you listen too. Or else you listen to the media a lot. The Stones used to be great (like 30 years ago), but they are old and tired now. It's all nostalgia.

By the way, why the fuck haven't you picked yet in the TV draft? It's been a long time. Don't make me put the time-limit rule into effect. :)

2nd Half

[Eaglesfan27]

Ward should have made that catch too. It was a tough catch, but very catchable.

Not so fast my friend.
Really? Why is that?

[SunDevil]

Run the fu3king ball. What happend to going with your strength?

[Eaglesfan27]

Guess who is getting fired first after the Super Bowl.

[Craptacular]

Still think Jackson should get the MVP? Well that ball wasn't even close enough to him even if he did see it ... who knows if it was a bad route or a bad placement by Matt.

[Senator]

Yeah, horses crave to haul things around in harness.

[SunDevil]

You have the MVP as running back. Let him decide if you win or lose, instead of a QB. Whether your resign Alexander or not is all based on the SB, so put it in his hands as well as the awesome left side of the OL.

[Senator]

Really? Why is that?

Because no one really knows anything, yet. It is just a guess, like any opinion at this point.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well that ball wasn't even close enough to him even if he did see it ... who knows if it was a bad route or a bad placement by Matt.

I'm not talking about that one play, I'm just saying that the Steelers are doing much better overall on DJ in the 2nd half. Whether that is from getting pressure on Matt and him making bad throws, it is still the same effect.

[biological warrior]

Really? Why is that? Its still early in the second half. Anything can happen. Remember Cowboys Redskins.

[GrantDawg]

Because no one really knows anything, yet. It is just a guess, like any opinion at this point.

Sure it is, but saying it after the Seahawks yet again didn't get points from a drive they should, what in the world makes anyone think they are going to win this game? The Steelers are in the driver's seat, and the bus is almost in the terminal.

[Craptacular]

I'm not talking about that one play, I'm just saying that the Steelers are doing much better overall on DJ in the 2nd half. Whether that is from getting pressure on Matt and him making bad throws, it is still the same effect.Agreed, although I don't know why I'm even debating something that was supposed to come across as sarcasm in the first place. :D

Do they really need anything but a field goal?
No, but a touchdown would be a back-breaker.

Sure it is, but saying it after the Seahawks yet again didn't get points from a drive they should, what in the world makes anyone think they are going to win this game? The Steelers are in the driver's seat, and the bus is almost in the terminal.


All true. But I have never understood calling a game. The future is unknown.

[Eaglesfan27]

Ben with another TERRIBLE throw. At least he slowed down Herndon.

[Hurst2112]

SEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GET BACK ON THE FUCKING COMPUTER!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK

[biological warrior]

Intercepted!

[kingfc22]

That was freaking HUGE. Now they better get 7 or else it will be a waste.

[ThunderingHERD]

I smelled a turnover, but was hoping it would be a Bettis fumble.

[SunDevil]

YESSSSSSSSSSS

[GrantDawg]

All true. But I have never understood calling a game. The future is unknown.

Because it is fun. But my prediction is in trouble right now.

[Celeval]

Huge. Huge.

[Craptacular]

That pass looked like it frightened Engram.

[kingfc22]

Don't go 3 and out, FG

[SunDevil]

How is it already 3rd and 6?

[SunDevil]

TDDDDDD

[Craptacular]

Stevens caugth one!!

[kingfc22]

Hey, he finally caught the darn thing.

[biological warrior]

TD!

[Celeval]

And just like that, we've got a game again.

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow. This game just became much more interesting again.

[kingfc22]

And we got a game brewing in the Motor City.

Dag-gummit. My wife has suddenly started rooting for Seattle.

[SunDevil]

I am Seattle Bia56ch. In the memory of Rick James :)

Dag-gummit. My wife has suddenly started rooting for Seattle.
I hate when my wife roots against whoever I'm rooting for (which she always does if she is home.)

[Craptacular]

I'm surprised they let them say jackass.

[SunDevil]

Dag-gummit. My wife has suddenly started rooting for Seattle.
What do you mean suddenly. You have always routed for Seattle teams for what I have seen.....

[GrantDawg]

I have? I don't hate 'em, but I like the Steelers better.

[miami_fan]

So who is winning the battle between Porter and Stevens?

[Eaglesfan27]

Unfortunately, I'd have to say Stevens at this point. He has a TD. Porter needs to come up with a big play.

[biological warrior]

Good God Another drop!

[Craptacular]

Unfortunately, I'd have to say Stevens at this point. He has a TD. Porter needs to come up with a big play.getting closer ;)

[biological warrior]

You think at this point they would try to run the ball? Are they trying to prove something by lobbing those passes?

[Eaglesfan27]

However, Stevens is trying hard to even the score. A few more drops and I'll have to say they are all even again.


Edit: Craptacular beats me to it ;)

My wife just called on the phone. She is on the way home from her friend's which means she'll start rooting for the Seahawks :(

[kingfc22]

Unfortunately, I'd have to say Stevens at this point. He has a TD. Porter needs to come up with a big play.Porter is playing? Don't think I've heard his name once. Maybe he called up Freddie Mitchell to see how to disappear in a Super Bowl after talking trash all week.

[biological warrior]

That pass looked like a meatball.

[Craptacular]

nice bounce

[Eaglesfan27]

Great bounce on the punt! :)

[biological warrior]

The stat is indicative of the score with Pitt having 249 net yards compared to Seattles 226 net yards.

[kingfc22]

Catch the ball if it is going to land around your own 17 yd. line.

[kingfc22]

Good play by Hasselback on that run.

[GoldenEagle]

What happens if the Steelers win by four? Are all bets returned?

[tucker rocky]

The Final Quarter.
What is going to happen?

[Eaglesfan27]

It's cool that this is still a competitive game going into the 4th.
