So "sgol whetever" - are you saying after 6 calls like this , that many people could be seeing the tape wrong? That many calls could just happen to be contoversial? I dunno, it's a longshot.

Oh you mean the game where Roethlisberger didn't cross the goal line but was given a TD, the phantom holding penalty where they showed the lineman who didn't block anyone at all, and the offensive pass interference where the receiver got his wallet stolen? Yeah, I remember that game.

I remember Cry baby Seagull fans that still deny they lost to the Steelers. I also remember a few of their "questionable" calls that the NFL came out and explained.
First I remember they claimed Ben didn't get the Touchdown. Silly because it would have been 4th on the GOAL line and they wouldn't have stopped the Steelers from reaching the ball over, BUT it was actually shown he did break the plane. Most never saw the angle but whatever. I saw it on the Chris Meyer's Interview with him I believe it was(can't remember who the dude that had the Interview show on FSN was).
Second was a Offensive Pass Interference call in the endzone. The Seattle player PUSHED OFF, which is Pass Interference, but rarely called. Since it isn't normally called they whined that it was called on them basically. Well then blame refs who aren't doing their job right.
Third was Hassleback being called for a block below the knees. I can accept an argument on this penalty because he wasn't really blocking, that was his tackle on the INT he just threw.
I can't remember the rest of the ones they whined about but there were like 6 calls I think.
Actually if you watched the game as I said most were correct calls, and a few days later the NFL actually came out to defend them and explain them. There was only one angle that clearly showed where Ben got with the Ball and that didn't get showed during the Superbowl as I remember. Thing is that other calls were made wrong. Commonly forgotten was the Two Step BUT not caught fumble that went AGAINST the Steelers. The guy from the Seahawks got the ball took like 2-3 steps well holding it(Commonly considered POSSESSION) and then fumbled BUT it got ruled an incomplete pass. Yeah I think there were questionable calls, had been throughout those playoffs, but that doesn't mean the call is wrong.

It was awful. I hate saying that the refs handed any team a game, but in the case of Superbowl XL, the Seahawks were robbed by the officials.
Here's a good place to start.

Yes I remember that game. The Seahawks were robbed of a Superbowl win. I still rub that in to Steeler fan faces when I see them. Most of them just sulk and look at the ground when I mention that.

It was SB 40 Steelers vs. Seahawks 2006. It was bad referees.

It was similar to what I saw last night, and against the Ravens.
