Superbowl Gameday - SeaHAWKS vs. STEElers - Page 9

No matter where you rank them this team had the best run in playoff history. Went on the road to the top three teams and won. They beat the AFC 1,2,3 seeds and the NFC 1. They did come out bad in this game and Roethlisberger struggled but the D still played good and the gamebreakers came through. This is a great team. The regular season record would have been better but they lost Roethlisberger for some games.

Did anyone here enjoy the halftime show? anyone at all?

Because I haven't heard one good thing about it.

1) The sound was ****. It was tinny, off, you could barely hear Mick for most fo the third song unless the camera had him to the right or left. Last yar's show with McCarthy was ten times better, and I hate this rehash of everything that's from the baby boomers generation being the only thing that won't scar us from nasty things (like nipples :roll: )
2) Holy **** what the hell happened to that band?! They look like they should be playing shuffleboard, not signing. Richards looked like he was pulling a MIlli Vanille with the guitar, Mick when he wasn't ****ing the lyrics up, look like he was straining to remember them. Also when dancing around, if you're going to pretend that your'e still twenty, at least ****ing work out! Watching your arm msucles wave around like overcooked noodles is not an attractive feature (and doesn't help the "holy **** your old!" thing)
3) WHY DO WE HAVE TO EDIT OUT ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE?! In Start me Up, he's signing away and gets to "you make a deaf man.....". Do what Mick? We know your'e f'in old, but we didn't think that you were senile. Which is a lot better than the corporate schill youv'e become. Can someone tell me what is offensive about the words "come", or "balls"? Tht ahd to be the worst PC bastardization I've seen in years. What's next years act, The Big Bopper? Barney the Dinosaur? Seems that the major networks thin we have the maturity level of five year olds.

What's really sad is that today I watched the Rush show in Frankfurt, which is a band that I'm far form a fan of, a hockey game of Montreal and Philly, and the Super Bowl, and only the Super Bowl failed to entertain. That alone should say something right there, but it won't. Sad.

I'd say good team that was clutch and had some damn lucky breaks.

It's not a meh team, but it's nowhere near the Cowboys, 49'ers, Raiders, Steelers of the 1970's, or the PAtroits. They'll have to do a lot more than that to earn the tag great IMO.

If national interest in this year's Superbowl corresponded with that of the OOTP forum, this will be, by far, the lowest rated Superbowl ever. The Superbowl Gameday thread for 2005 had over 3 times as many total posts.

hear hear. This is also the first time that I've heard almost a unanimous consensous that the officiating stunk. Mostly its about half and half, but not this one sided.

defenitley clutch but mylons would say that there is no such thing as clutch. Remember when the Patriots won their first superbowl they got the tuck rule call, beat the steelers by scoring 21 points from d and special teams. This is a young team and will be contending for some years to come.

The refs sucked all year. The DJs call was pass interference but ill admit that it is never called in that situation on offense. That is the only call that I think hurt Seattle but remember Pittsburgh has had their share of bad calls throughout the playoffs. They were the best team this year. There will be some bitter fans that say they werent but just looked at what they accomplished. Wish I didnt have to work tommorrow because it is crazy in Pittsburgh now.

Well I'm jsut going by what I saw today, as I don't realyl care about football enough to be bitter or anything. IMO the Steeler QB TD and the Pass itnerference (that couldn't knock over a 5 yr old girl, bizaree), was just sad, and would have made the game insanely different in scope.

As for luck I refer to today, and also the Indy game with the QB tackle. If that wasnt' made, it would have probably been Indy. Hence why I said good and not great. History will decide this, but it hasn't yet.

I do agree on the pass interference. The qb touchdown I think he was in the ball crossed when he was in the air but even if it was 4th inches I think they convert. Actually 4th and 1 inch qb sneak all the way up the gut. You are right that only time will tell but Pittsburgh dominated the Indy game and got screwed on a call on the int. The reason why I said great team is not from the Superbowl performance but what this team did to get there.

it does take heart for sure.

And I don't know about a QB sneak, they only allowed one run up the middle that actually gained anything, and the bus was a non-factor in the two tries previously. GUess we'll never know

What is the rule on the orange pad things that are in the corner of the endzone? Isn't it part of the playfield? Like if a runner is hit as he dive for the goal and lands on that orange pad it is a touchdown? Correct me if I am wrong because there was the long pass to Jackson where he got one foot down in bounds and then his outside foot kicked that pad before going out of bounds.

I think I know the one that your'e referring too, and I was told that both feet must land in-bounds, it's not good enough that they pass over in-bounds befoe landing outside.

What! · 02-06-2006, 01:38 AM

I think the pylons are in bounds but dont count as the ground and the reciever still has to get both feet down.

I'd like to see that rule. Either the pylons are in bounds or out of bounds unless there are more stipulations about them not counting for a pass reception.

One wants the Super Bowl to be just that, Super, and not just like a random week in/week out game.

Exactly, just happenstance. It's unfortunate, but it happens. As a Seahawks fan, I'd love a do-over. The Steelers were anything but frightening.

Kekkonen · 02-06-2006, 07:54 AM

Now that you guys mention it, the game did look a lot more like two 7-8 teams trying to close the season on a good note than the meeting of the top two teams in the league.

Well, I suppose it could be worse from the point of view of someone like me who gets to see max. 3 live games a year. I still remember how peeved I was after Finland's first ever live Super Bowl broadcast. It was the first pro football game I'd seen live in several years, but it didn't look like one; it was Dallas's first SB win over the Bills, and instead of a battle of two mediocre NFL teams, it looked like there was an NFL team taking an NCAA team to school. It was over before half-time, and the only memorable play by Leon Lett.

So you're willing to ignore how bad the refereeing was in the Indy game?

Trust me when I say the Steelers did not play up to their full potential dont even think the offense was playing half as good as they did all year. But if I was a Seahawk fan (thank god im not) I would probably feel the same way.
