I completely admit, I am no huge football fan and I really don’t care who won the SuperBowl. But after watching the game I have to say Seahawks got ROBBED by the refs, big time.
I heard on the radio this morning that something like 60% of people nationwide (not just the NW) attribute Seattle’s loss to poor officiating. I couldn’t find a link to back that up.
In fashion of poor reporting, that The Oregonian is known for, they attribute the loss to poor execution. Yes, there was a bit of that. But overall there were quite a few good plays and significantly more yardage (70 to be exact) for Seattle than recorded in the statistics because of all the penalties.
And just how many touchdowns were overturned? How many yards lost to penalties? And they still seriously out played, out passed, and overall moved the ball further. Check out the full stats at NFL.com
I do have to say that it was just a dumb, crappy decision to make the “4th & Inches” play a punt instead of going for it.
Overall, Seattle played WAY better than Pittsburgh although neither played all that great. Yeah, they got robbed hard core.
