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

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
