Usually im with the NFC but seeing as the damn seahawks gave us a rough time in the reg season, im a Giants fan i want the Steelers to thoroughly spank them hard

.

So go Steelers, but honestly i dont really care who wins tbh

Mmmm, nice cheerleaders

Hm, coming to end of the 1st qtr, still 0-0.
Is the ITV showing delayed then?

Seems not, TD disallowed for steelers

Creature · 5 Feb 2006 at 23:59

The kick from Brown is good. Seahawks 3-0 from a 46 yard field goal.

It seems they have a break about every 5 minutes in this game? Can't the americans play for a full 45 minutes without a break?

Nope thats why a 60 minute game last 4 hours

They have to change between offence and defence every so often. When they do they discuss tactics etc.

Psycho Ned · 6 Feb 2006 at 00:23

They have breaks because they need to change teams (offence, defence, special etc)

Plus when US telly is flogging a 30 second ad slot for $5 million its no wonder there are loads of breaks!!

Psycho Ned · 6 Feb 2006 at 00:26

Actually that play just then has reminded me of a noob question about NFL I have.

How do they decide where the ball has finished? is it where the carrier stops moving?

Creature · 6 Feb 2006 at 00:30

When the carrier hits the ground.

Its based on foreward motion so if he runs into the defence who push him back the ball is marked at where they hit him not where they finally pushed him back to.

Blimey big call there on that touchdown, god knows how you could see one way or the other there.

Anyway 7-3 Pittsburgh

Creature · 6 Feb 2006 at 00:47

Clearly not a touchdown, ball didn't break the line.

Sleepy · 6 Feb 2006 at 00:51

But the video review does not clearly show the ball not crossing the line. So the call stands.

Looked like it broke the line to me.

It was a stupid call from the linesman in the first place :mad:

How the hell could he tell from where he was standing (far away).

And how was that pass interference on the Seahawks TD!? These referees are rubbish...

Agree

wtf is this, rolling stones are awful and i just heard a feed from sky sports.

IceBus · 6 Feb 2006 at 01:10

Two awful calls have cost the Seahawks a 14 point swing...

First off I've never seen such a weak offensive pass interference in a playoff game let alone a Superbowl.

Then the LJ giving a touchdown when his first indication from the QB sneak was to indicate a spot...

Two Red Bulls in and feeling fairly awake at this point. I just hope the Seahawks can get back to playing like they were on their first drive.

Roethlesberger hasn't looked too hot so if we can keep jamming their receivers and giving him no time we should be OK.

Also, why does the ABC feed look so washed out when the Sky feed looks oversaturated?

I assume no-one in their right mind is choosing the Sky Sports commentary?
