Anyone who doesn\'t know what i\'m talking about then go google it. Super Bowl XL is almost here so does anyone have any predictions or comments. (Who the teams will be. Who will win it all etc.) I personally hope the Seahawks win it all anyways, what about you guys?

I\'m cheering for whoever wins the AFC championship. Not only do I like both teams more than the remaining two on the NFC, they both look more like championship teams to me. Seattle did not look that impressive to me against the Redskins. Yes, they won. And without Alexander. But it\'s not like Washington looked very strong in the post season. They only got that far because of turnovers in the Buccaneers game.

Whereas I think the Broncos and Steelers both look strong. Indy did give Pittsburgh quite the scare last week in the fourth quarter, but regardless, the Steelers looked good. I\'d be happy to see either them or the Broncos win.

Yeah, I\'m gonna have to go with the Seahawks on this one.

Personally I\'m for the Seahawks, because they\'re my home team:D

I may be a Jets fan, but Seahawks are who I\'m rooting for. They are killing tonight folks. 27-7 current score!!!! If they lose they\'re messed up to the max.......

Mine too.

SEAHAWKS FOR THE WIN!

I am going for the Panthers but, right now they are getting owned by the Seahawks so:(.

Well at least I won\'t have to watch the Redskins lose this year. Stupid crappy home team.

Steelers are going to win, I\'m not questioning this. Maybe it\'s just cause I live near Pittsburgh, my original team was Pats though. Couldn\'t beleive the Broncos beat them. All I know is my pap is dancing in his grave that the Steelers are going this far.

Denial is a sad stage.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

Don\'t be so confident. Pittsburgh took down the top three seeds in the AFC. They\'re not to be taken likely and they can win the Superbowl.

*agrees with Necro* As much as I hate to admit it (and I really do hate to admit it because my home team is their rivals) the steelers have a good shot at this if they can shut down Shaun Alexander.
However, I still want the Seahawks to win just because this way the Browns rivals don\'t win. GO BROWNS!

And it\'s the first stage you\'ll be in after the game =P

But seriously I\'m hoping we\'re seeing the beginning of a Steelers Dynasty. And that Bettis doesn\'t retire. But I\'m thinking the only way we\'ll lose this year is the dual loss of Polamalu and Ben Roethlisberger. But don\'t count on that.

The Seahawks I haven\'t watched that much... Ok at all. But looking at their Season this should be a good one.

Your right Necro, there is a very good chance Seahawks won\'t win but they\'re pretty pumped and they are my home team so I\'m for\'em

Pah, simple banter, Necro. \'Tis all.

What do you call it when a bird flies into a girder?

A Seahawk victory, of course.

Heh, it\'s supposed to be \"Seahawks vs. Steelers\" but I\'m rooting for Seattle, too.

Ahh yeah! What\'s that? Steelers for the win? Yeah baby. I told you so! =D

Haha, you know how to pick them Nekuro-sama.

*shaking head in disgust* HOw did they **** up that badly. HOW?! Oh, well I drew a mustache on HInes WArd\'s face so i\'m even.

Pssh. That first touchdown was rigged. He was behind the line, I tell you! :O

Magic friiidge...

OMFG SUPER CRAZY FIVE-HUNDRETH POST

You can say what you want, but the refs were not fair.

As Necro stated to me on another board, it\'s not like the points gained from some of the so called \"rigged\" \"cheating\" blah blah calls were so important to the game anyway, it wasn\'t like Steelers were winning by only 4 points. They would have won regardless.

So ha. >.>

That, I can agree with. It should have been 17 - 14, in favor of Seahawks.

[Goes to beat a Ref.]

I disagree. The Steelers got one touchdown they shouldn\'t have won, and we didn\'t get one we should have.

Now, you\'ll hear a lot of people say it was rigged. I don\'t think so. I just think the referees were incompetent.

There were two calls that I think were funny. The holding call that brought the Seahawks back from the 1 yard line and the penalty against Hasslebeck. Those I agree were bullshit calls, but one cannot say that because of the former the Seahawks were robbed of leading 17-14. That\'s not giving the Steelers the proper respect; it\'s possible that they could have held the Seahawks to a field goal. Yes, Alexander is a superb running back and the league MVP, but his play in the Super Bowl was somewhat lacking and Pittsburgh would have known that they\'d give him the ball. Or maybe the Seahawks would have gotten the touchdown. We\'ll simply never know.

Regardless of whether it was a bad call or not, Hasslebeck still screwed up afterwards. Sometimes bad calls happen, but he dug the Seahawks woes even deeper with the interception. There wasn\'t even a Seahawk in the area he threw the ball to. That, along with the two missed field goals and the poor clock management at the end of the first half and game cost the Seahawks. The Seahawks failed to come up big when it mattered and they lost the game. The Seahawks could have had another possible 9-13 points regardless of the calls. Or possibly 15-19 if you consider that it\'s possible they could have scored on the last drive of the first half and the end of the game if they didn\'t manage the play clock so poorly. Again, regardless of the calls, the Seahawks still lost the game for themself.

As for the touchdown that got called back for the Seahawks, that was a good call. You cannot interfere with another player\'s chance to make the play. Had it been the other way around and the defensive player had done that to Jackson, the Seahawks ball would have been placed on the one yard line and nobody would have questioned it. But because it\'s the other way around the refs should just let it go because the Seahawks got the touchdown? Jackson stuck out his arm and pushed off the defender, interfering with the defender\'s ability to try and stop the pass. You cannot do that.

As far as Roethlisberger\'s touchdown, nobody really knows if that should have counted or not, and anybody that says they do is full of crap. The very tip of the ball only had to touch the white line; he did not have to make it into the endzone. It was impossible to tell exactly if the ball had touched the white line even the slightest from the replays, and because of that, they had to follow the rules and stay with the ruling on the field. Did Roethlisberger actually get a touchdown? Nobody will ever know. Did the refs make the right call? Yes, with what they were given.

Seahawks fans need to stop complaining that they had the game stolen from them and grow some class. Yes, the Seahawks lost this year, but instead of complaining over it, you should have faith in them for next season.

And now.. go Patriots in 06/07. ;p

What\'s interesting, is that the NFL has the highest amount of criticism about it\'s referees, since--out of itself, the MLB, and the NBA--it\'s the only one that doesn\'t hire full time refs.

But in any case, we did get robbed. And I\'ll be damned if we don\'t go back and win next year\'s superbowl to prove it to the whole goddamn world.

Go Seahawks!!

I\'m all for the Seahawks, but even though they didn\'t win, at least they got there.
