According to a prognosticating Californian monkey, the Seahawks will win.
The monkey has a 7 to 1 record so far for predicting the Super Bowl winner.
If he's right again, maybe that will be a blow to the relevance of accurate prophesy in the Bible, since even monkeys can do it.

Some post-game thoughts:
1) That was not offensive pass interference on the Seahawks receiver in the endzone. That SHOULD have been a touchdown. That was a huge call and the refs BLEW it!!!
2) Ben DID NOT score a TD on that play. I can somewhat understand the play not being overturned because the evidence wasn't completely conclusive, but I do believe the ball didn't cross the line. Another huge play.
3) Seattle had horrible game management at the end of the game. They passed in middle of the field instead of going for sidelines. When they could have kicked a FG they went for another passing play but failed to stop the clock which ended the game.
I'm not saying that would have changed the outcome but still.
4) Stevens dropped like 4 passes!!!! If you're going to run your mouth before the game you BETTER come through in the game. Yes he did get a TD but he dropped a few BIG passes.
5) When Matt Hasselbeck threw the INT and they threw a flag when he tackled the guy. It wasn't a foul!! They said Matt was blocking someone but he wasn't, he was tackling the guy who intercepted the ball.
6) On the play where Matt completed a pass to the 1 yardline but it was brought back because of holding: John Madden said it wasn't holding but I wasn't completely sure. It may have been. That was a huge play though that was possibly questionable.
7) At the end of the 3rd Qtr Seattle wasted a play trying to get one last play in before the time ran out. They should have just let the clock run and had a 1st down in the 4th, instead they didn't complete that pass and started the 4th on second down.
8) I can't think of anymore.

Am I the only one who thought the commercials sucked big time!
There was like at the most two that I remember laughing at but I can't even remember which ones they were. Overall this was a crappy year for commercials. :down:
Here is a link to some of them:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11136085/
The Hidden Beers, Airport Security, Magic Fridge weren't too bad.
The Budweiser with the fans in the stadium was pretty cool.
The Heart Paddles one was pretty funny :chuckle:
So maybe there were a couple more than I thought were funny, but still not a great year for commercials.

I don't know. It wasn't blatant, but he did push off. The Steelers had an offensive interferenc call against them too, so....kmoney said:Some post-game thoughts:

It was close, but I think he broke the plane when he was in the air (not when he came down).
I agree, the Seahawks do suck.
Yeah, you can't be running your mouth and then not be able to come down with the ball. I was disappointed in Porter's game too. At least he didn't make any mistakes though.
Can't argue with you on this one. That was just a bad call by the ref. I think it's a stupid rule to begin with anyway, but he wasn't even guilty of breaking that rule.5) When Matt Hasselbeck threw the INT and they threw a flag when he tackled the guy. It wasn't a foul!! They said Matt was blocking someone but he wasn't, he was tackling the guy who intercepted the ball.
I didn't see a problem with that call. I'm sure there are cases of holding on every play that were as bad as this one, but he just happened to get caught.
Again, I agree- the Seahawks suck.:chuckle: I don't know what Hasselback was thinking at the end of the first half or the end of the game. He played pretty well the rest of the game (with the exception of his 1 Int.), but seemed to lose his mind everytime the Game Clock got down under 1:00.
I think was less than stellar (especially for such a big game), but I don't think it changed the end result of the game at all. I just find it interesting that the Steelers came out and played a lack-luster game, yet still put up twice as many points as the Seahawks. Just shows how weak the NFC was this year.

He definitely pushed off. He stopped the movement of the defensive back. Good call.kmoney said:1) That was not offensive pass interference on the Seahawks receiver in the endzone. That SHOULD have been a touchdown. That was a huge call and the refs BLEW it!!!
From a couple angles, it looked like the ball broke the plane while Ben was in the air. It was inconclusive, so the play stood. Good call.kmoney said:
Good call, kmoney.kmoney said:
He sucked hardcore...kmoney said:
The referee made a mistake during the call, but Hasselbeck tackled the defender with his leg (tripping). Good call.kmoney said:5) When Matt Hasselbeck threw the INT and they threw a flag when he tackled the guy. It wasn't a foul!! They said Matt was blocking someone but he wasn't, he was tackling the guy who intercepted the ball.
Questionable, I agree. I probably would have let that slide.kmoney said:
I think they were just trying to catch the defense off guard.kmoney said:
I liked the analysis. :thumb:kmoney said:
My Seahawks didn't do it. :taoist:
However, I am glad that Jerome Bettis got to retire in glory. :BRAVO:
