Post Super Bowl Monday morning QB
Super Bowl XL was a good game however it was plagued by bad officiating. It was as if the referees were biased against the Seahawks and wanted the Steelers to win. I counted three big plays that could have and should have gone the other way.
- A Seahawk TD at the end of the first quarter was taken away by a bogus offensive pass interference call. In the NFL, pushing off happens all the time. If there was any pass interference at all, it was very minor at best.
- The Roethlisberger TD run at the end of the first half should have been reversed. The ball never crossed the goal line. The closet referee to the play, the line judge, was going to spot the ball on the 1 when the other referee signaled TD.
- The holding penalty against Seattle on a pass play that could have resulted on having the ball on the 2 yard line and most possibly a TD, a FG for sure, at the end of the fourth quarter was complete bullshit.
Take away these bad calls and the score would have been 17-14 in favor of the Seahawks. Instead the score is 21-10 Steelers and the Seahawks were robbed.
As for the Super Bowl commercials... GM's Live Green, Go Yellow campaign is lame, FedEx's caveman was hilarious, Honda's Ridgeline spot was dumb, Budweiser's Clydesdale in training was cute, Michelob Amber's touch football shows that revenge can be a bitch (literally), the Pepsi ads were getting annoying and the GoDaddy chick was as hot as always.
If you missed any, you can see them all here again.
