you can have the 7 back we still win by 4, seattle admits theirself they made mental mistakes , didnt control the clock at the end, dropped pass after dropped pass...steelers played championship football and seattle DID NOT. Next year doesn't have anything to do with it, screw next year IM enjoying this year.
This guys in another forum says it better...
The Interference call was legit..you cant push off, cant do it..especially with the Zebra right there. granted it looked worse than it was...But, the way the play developed had an impact on the guys call. If the ball would have been a second or 2 later and the WR ran further after the push....No Call..Since the ball was there right after the push...Flag.
The Holding call was just plain bad luck...those are called every week in the NFL. If the pass was overthrown, you would have nobody bitching about that call. The Right tackle was getting beat upfield alot and had another holding call i believe. I am sure he was getting an extra look.
Hasselbacks blocking call the the worst of the game. He never made contact with the Pitt blocker before he hit the Interceptor..So, that was bad.
Dont know what you guys are watching, But, Rothlesbergers scored...The ball crossed over the front of the white line when he was in the air..then got hit back by the LB. Crying about that is ridiculous..You just gave up a 3rd and 28..!!! If you Dont give up the big play....guess what.......no TD. Blame the Defense.
But, bottom line is this....You cant give up a 75 yd TD run, a Double reverse pass for a TD and allow Ben R to scramble around for 1 minute on a
3rd and 28 and hit Ward on a 40 play down to the 1. Did Pitt give up big plays like that...
Seattle had numerous opportunities with great field position and got shut down.Go look at the Play by Play. Steeler Defense on 3rd Down was excellent.
Pitt also did a great job tackling and limiting Seattle with yards after catch..part of their plan to give up the underneath stuff ahead of schedule and keep them to minimal gains. Lebeau is excellent and deserves alot of credit.
People who backed Seattle were upset and I can understand that...But, Seattle didnt play Championship Football Sunday. They gave up
3 HUGE plays, their
kicking game sucked, coaching decisions/clock management that was really poor and obviously a few mental mistakes that happened to be costly.
Oh, and for the record...Jeremy Stevens should have shut up ...His game is not ready for smack talk. And if you think it didnt have an Impact on him, your nutz.
OH AND BTW How about that perfect throw trick play by Randel EL
Hope you can get your money back on Pro Bowl....
