DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I don't care all that much about the game either way, but this game was tainted. I could go on and on about the Pittsburgh players being offsides on several penalties called against Seattle/ Frankly, it would take a TON of convincing that it's even possible that the refs just "randomly" blew that many calls against Seattle. Normally I'm not too big on conspiracy theories, but I am wholeheartedly convinced that this game was fixed. Link to post Share on other sites

TheLadiezMan 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Lack of offense? 400 total yards is a lack of offense since when? Maybe their lack of Jeramy Stevens being able to catch the ball but lack of total offense I would say no. Lack of plays being negated by senseless penalty calls, yes.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 All the officiating breaks in the world couldn’t have make up for Seattle’s lack of offence Unless you decide to count about four or five touchdowns that were erased by the refs. Honestly dude, I'm not anti-Steelers or even pro-Seattle, but as an objective observer if you watch that game and all of the replays you'll become very suspicious. I even saw "tells" from the refs. There was one call, where Hasselback fumbled and was CLEARLY touched on the way down, yet the refs were trying SO HARD to call it a fumble. It was as clear as day, but it took these guys forever to finally say, "No fumble." There was shady business going on in this game, I'm dead serious. I've never said this about any other game in any sport, ever. There was cheating going on. That's not to say that Pittsburgh couldn't have won without it, but they didn't. I'm totally convinced.

That or you didn't watch the game????Perhaps he meant the inability to convert that offensive yardage into points. No doubt they got screwed on the officiating, but that wasn't the reason they lost. And it most definitely was not rigged. If anything it is -EV for the NFL for Pittsburgh to win because it takes more focus away from their golden boy Patriots. Link to post Share on other sites

Who said anything about the NFL being involved in the scandal? I don't think the NFL had anything to do with it, but I'd love to put those refs through a lie detector test and see how they fare. They had tells. Totally scared, totally uncomfortable, and they looked like they were lying. Link to post Share on other sites

TheLadiezMan 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 They were the NFL's all-star crew though. They were the ones who were rated the highest at their respected postions all season. I wonder how the rating system is done? Do they get a group of chimpanzees in a room to pick numbers out of a hat and place it on an official's name? If so that would be something quite interesting to see! Link to post Share on other sites

I've never said this about any other game in any sport, ever. There was cheating going on. That's not to say that Pittsburgh couldn't have won without it, but they didn't. I'm totally convinced.Other examples..A. On the disputed Rothelisberger TD. The ref sees the play..originally spots the ball short...and then when Ben shoves the ball in after down for two-three seconds..THEN he signals TD. The replays were CLEARLY inconclusive AT BEST....thus it wasn't overturned. If he hadn't foolishly changed his call....whatever.B. There was a hit by a Seattle DB where he hit a Pitt WR on the back with his arm/shoulder....and they tried to throw a flag for helmet-to-helmet contact..despite the fact that the helmet wasn't anywhere CLOSE to hitting the WR's helmet. NOT EVEN CLOSE. C. On the disputed offensive passs-interference call.....the ref doesn't even ATTEMPT to reach for the flag until the catch is made, then the DB turns around, yells at the ref for a second..and THEN the ref goes for the flag...misses is, then grabs again for it and then throws it. WAY late....and an extremely horrible call. Oh...and little tidbit...this referee that made this particular call.....from Pittsburgh. Big surprise there...D. An EXTREMELY blatant horse-collar tackle by a Pitt player (Porter?) on Shaun Alexander when Alexander was threatening to break off a long run. That is a new rule and is now a 15 yard penalty I believe..but what does the referee do..the referee standing ONE YARD AWAY from the play!??! What does he do....he turns his head away and doesn't even acknowledeg Alexander and the other Seattle players trying to complain to him. Usually..the refs will at least explain their call/non-call..but I guess not this time....I wonder why!?!??!Seriously......IF those officials were really trying their best...they just flat out suck. I am not a big conspiracy theorist....but I must say that if it were somehow shown that some dirty business took place..I wouldn't be TOO surprised. Link to post Share on other sites
