I just wanna say that I am a Dolphins fan, so I am being pretty unbiased with my opinions about what happened in this superbowl.
That being said, I think the referees did an atrocious job officiating this Superbowl, and directly influenced the outcome of this game.
Four plays immediately come to mind:
1) The Roethlisberger TD run where he didn't break the plane of the goal-line. The ref started to call Roethlisberger down, but then changed his mind after watching Big Ben crawl forward another couple yards into the endzone. That was not a TD. And how was it not over-turned? Geez.
2) Offensive pass interference against the Seahawks in the endzone that negated a TD. Of all the bad calls, this is the one that I could let slide if this were the only bad call of the game, but that is not the case here.
3) The phantom holding call that took away a nice play that would have given Seattle a 1st down at the 1-yard line. This call was really, REALLY bad.
4) And why the heck was Hasselbeck called for a personal foul for making a tackle?
In recap, I can think of reasons for wanting either team to win. I was really just hoping, for a good, clean, exciting Superbowl and these referees really ruined it for me.

I'm unbiased too, I'm a Niner's fan. I was rooting for the Seahawks, and I firmly believe that they lost this one on their own, bad play calls in the 2nd half. Trust me, I really didn't want the Steeler's to win. My apartment complex did not quite down until about midnight here(PA).

Personally, I did not think the officiating was that bad. Seattle lost the game on their own.

I couldn't really care less I just wanted to see a decent game and I didn't. Just means we are a day closer to the NFL draft.
The NFL is not a sport anymore, its a business, its all about the money....You really could tell during the game... enough said.
oh and for the record would you guys really be saying the same thing if it was your team? I know I would still have the same opinion, but I would be more pissed off.
