Actually I think the Steelers are a very good team. I also thing that Seattle is good and deserved to be there. I just think there was a lot more happening in the game that caused the loss than just the refs.
This was posted on the first gen board and in my opinion is pretty accurate:
"Seattle had 4 or 5 dropped passes, total clock mismanagement at the end of both halfs, two missed field goals, they were 5 out of 17 on third down conversions, dominated the first half but only put up three points(they could have easily put the game away in the first half) a pick in the red zone, punts going into the endzone for touchbacks instead of pinning pittsburgh deep, punted the ball with about six minutes left and down by two scores, then at the end of the game let the clock run like they had the lead and then everyone wants to blame the refs? Parker burned them on a 75 yard run and they got burned on a trick play for a TD. Thats what lost the game for them. They had the whole game to get it done. They were such a powerhouse that was going to roll the Steelers remember? A few calls shouldnt have made a difference. When the Steelers needed a play they made it Seattle had plenty of chances but couldn't close the deal. "
Allen, you're probably right!
