The Steelers did it. What an amazing postseason.
I'm going to hear Seahawks fans moan all day that it was the bad calls. I'll admit that they got some bogus decisions. But I will also contend that it didn't make the crucial difference. The Steelers pushed through at a few points where the Hawks just didn't. And how about the flea-flicker? Genius.
I also suffered for my faith -- a druken Hawks fan shoved me as I was walking out of my apartment building wearing my Steelers hat. I dropped the empty casserole dish I was carrying and it smashed on the ground. Somehow I cut my hand in the whole process.
But, of course, who got the last laugh?

Posted by: John at February 6, 2006 11:41 AMI'll admit it was inconclusive, and if the linesman had called no touchdown they wouldn't have overturned that call either. It was a tough call for the seahawks, and I'll admit that as well. I think the earlier offensive pass interference call was completely bogus.
I'm glad the other two touchdowns were unambiguously beautiful.
Posted by: paul at February 6, 2006 02:06 PMCower said he had already decided to go for it anyway and they would have scored. the first call was definitely pushing off which makes defence impossible and was a good call. Plus Stevenson definitely fumbled and the Seahwks cut a huge break on that one. Steelers won that game because they are the better team period!! Way to suffer for the faith Paul. You will probably be mentioned in Steeler lore as the years go on. the ledgend will grow too probably.
