Let's look at the playoff picture though. The Steelers barely made it into the playoffs due to a 3 game losing ;streak. Seahawks had the best record in the NFC leading into the playoffs. They didn't have to face the caliber of teams the Steelers did. We came in 6th seed, and got to the superbowl. That alone is a feat. I honestly don't think the Seahawks could've beaten Cincinatti, the Colts, or the Broncos. Now they have the Steelers, and we are just too physical for them to handle. They are small and fast. We are large, tough, and have a few really fast defensive guys. You can all argue your points like I've argued now, but lets just watch the game and shut up. I'll be here when it is over to see the excuses you Seattle Fans will have for your lame team. Good day to you all!

Seattle did beat the Colts, regardless if the Colts had Manning all game or not.

P.S. I'm no Seawhawk fan, I'm just defending Seattle because they get no respect from anyone.

I don't know, to me that looked like the tip of the ball broke the plane. But yeah, it was very questionable...and the thing is that there has to be conclusive evidence to overturn it, and I think it was a bit of a toss up.

Also, what the hell was Seattle doing on that last drive, that was a pretty poor attempt I must say, they should've at least have come out with fieldgoal, but whatever.

Holy crap, the rolling stones are old. What an awful show.

Honestly, I know they aren't your taste, but why don't thet get someone like Metallica to play a song like "Enter Sandman"? I'll never understand how this crap ties into football. Not to mention the stones look like they need some of the Aleve that Spock took an hour and a half ago.

Concerning the touchdown:

I'm a Steelers fan, so my opinion is automatically biased in every way, shape, and form, but I think the tip of the ball did break the plane. It was close, but the ref needed to have conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field, right? He just didn't have that.

Gotta go watch the second half... see ya!

Guests of honor at Pittsburgh's after game party? Zebras! Woot. hehe

Yea that Linesman made an acrobatic catch in the endzone did you see that? :shifty:

Just kidding, but Seattle did screw up at the end of both halves. I mean, throwing down the middle with no time outs and needing two scores? Yea there were some questionable calls, but what game doesn't? There is always something to complain about involving the refs. Bad decisions and lack of discipline screwed over the dirty sea birds.

I'm not saying the Steelers won because of it, but I haven't seen a Superbowl that was this poorly officiated. The touchdown that never was, the 15 yard penalty on Hasselbeck on the interception, the 'pushoff' in the end zone on Seattle's TD that was called back...ticky tack as it was...the 'holding' that negated the pass that would have put Seattle on the 1...they call that, and I saw 5-6 legitimate holding penalties on both teams that were ignored....

That being said, Seattle has no clock managment abilities whatsoever.

Like I said earlier...and I'll say it again...statistics don't mean anything in the Superbowl, and I was proved right with the Steelers winning. The Superbowl is a whole different game. Anyways, way to go Steelers!! And on another note, I was expecting a higher scoring game. Also, the worst thing now is that we'll have to deal about Seahawk fans complaining about an unfair game. They never are in the playoffs...and I didn't think this one was bad at all, there was the one questionable touchdown, but that's it.

The officiating deserved the MVP award for sure. When all the bad calls go against one team, you start to wonder whether certain people were interested in the game being thrown.

And Seattle is a bunch of f-ing morons. End of 2nd and 4th quarters. Horrendous. Idiotic. All the adjectives you want.

the refs totally screwed seattle

1) the "pushoff" on seattle's first TD that was called back.. there was hardly any contact on that play

the back judge saw that pitts defender was complaing then thought for a second and threw the flag

2) rothlisberger's "touchdown" - he didn't break the plain of the goal-line - side judge screwed seattle over

3) the "holding" penalty on the right tackle when seattle got the ball down to the 1 yard line - no holding there

4) hasselbeck's "clipping" penalty

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
