Tarhog Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I really have to give props to these two teams. To get to the big show, for any team, is such an accomplishment. Given the parity of the NFL today, its even tougher to weather the always unpredictable schedule, to win enough games over a 16 game stretch to make the playoffs, and then prevail in an 'anything can happen' playoff hunt. Heres to Matt Hasselbeck and an opportunistic Seahawks squad. Here's to Bill Cowher and an upstart Steeler's squad that failed to listen to the wisdom of the pundits and took the 'away' route to the Super Bowl, one that rarely ends well. I have nothing but admiration for these two clubs. Regardless of who wins, they've earned the trip, and deserve the spoils of victory. I am SO envious of their fans. Theres nothing, and I mean NOTHING, I'd rather be doing right now than watching our Redskins warm-up for the Super Bowl. Our time is coming, and I can't wait to take part. Enjoy the game boys. Its history in the making, and soon enough, we're going to find ourselves part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 The Seahawks have been underrated and disrespected all year long. The Steelers are a team that reminds me a lot of ours, as do their fans. Here's to somebody besides the Patriots hoisting the trophy, and to our boys lifting it next year. And here's to Russ Grimm, completing a set of four big brass knuckles! :logo: :point2sky :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice how the Steelers let the Bus run out of the tunnel first and the rest of the team waited atleast 10-15 secs before they did? I thought that was awesome, kinda showed how this game is all about him in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its history in the making, and soon enough, we're going to find ourselves part of it. Classy post and well said, Tarhog. I wished the game had been better played thought it had its moments of exitement. I thought both offensive teams left their better game at home, and neither defense was really impresive either other than the 'hawks in the first quarter playing with enthusiasm. All in all, I preferred both teams prior to their display today. maybe I'm just being too harsh. Also thought the refs were a tad one-sided. I think if the 'skins had been getting the calls against them the 'hawks got I'd be apoplectic :laugh: Particualrly with some flagrant Steeler non-calls, but I'm not making any big deal out of it. And what a whiff both running games turned in other than the one big Steeler run, particularly Alexander. I also note the media riding the Steeler/Bettis jock as unashamedly and repeatedly as I've seen in awhile. Just my observations. Now we can focus on what really matters: Our offseason moves :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still sound good though . I teared up at one point though, which has happened to me for a SB in quite awhile. When Aretha was finishing the Anthem with that choir behind her and the camera panning some of the players. That woman still has it. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 This game really has me upset. The ref action tonight was HORRIBLE. I've never seen a game where pathetic call after pathetic call was made. The Seahawks got royally screwed. (and I wasn't rooting for either team, mind you) The NFL needs to adress the officiating issues. It's really cheapens the game. The refs NEVER overturn a field call if there is any grey area. This is wrong. The Rothlisberger TD should have NEVER been called a TD. Nothing on that replay showed the ball crossing the line, but the ref agrees with the call on replay. Why? So he can't be held accountable. It's a loser system and needs a major overhaul. I don't care if EVERY play if reviewed. Let's get the call right -- that shouldn't be too much to ask. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timitim Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Amen to that mike. I agree that this "Irrefutable Proof" rule deverts from accountability. We have taken the eyes off the field and put them in the hands of technology which makes it very hard to do your job in the NFL as an official. But there is right and wrong and if a call goes against what actually happened then your not doing your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
