Excerpt from second article:
Here’s what referee Bill Leavy’s crew did, point blank: It robbed Seattle. The Seahawks could have played better, sure. They could have done more to overcome the poor officiating. We understand that those things happen and all, but even with all the points Seattle left on the field, there’s a good chance the Seahawks would have scored more than the Steelers if the officials had let the players play.
i’m not one who watches much football, but i was exploding over sunday’s game. seattle was playing some solid ball, but they got the title snatched out of their hands with the help of a bundle of bad, bad calls. the steelers really didn’t play so well, and although they pulled off a couple neat tricks, there was no way in a fair game that they could beat the seahawks as it stood. sorry guys; if i were a steeler i’d feel that i don’t deserve that trophy.
