Post superbowl thoughts

Get over it Seahawk fans.

1) The pass interference call on D.Jackson was the right call. On the replay, he clearly extended his arms on the defender to create some space.

2) The Big Ben touchdown was ruled a touchdown on the field. Therefore to overturn the touchdown, the replay must show indisputable evidence that the ball didn't cross the goal line. In the replay, the motion blur prevented us from seeing whether the ball crossed the line or not. Therefore, there was no indisputable evidence. Touchdown stands. Personally, I don't think the ball cross the line, although it was damn close.

3) The phantom holding call. Well that was definitely questionable, but then again holding happens on every play…. It just depends whether the refs call it or not. Then again, you can’t blame the refs for that brutal Hasselback INT.


Lastly, I don't understand why everyone thought this was a bad superbowl. I thought it was entertaining with the dramatic momentum swings. It was better than a lot of other Superbowls (ie. the Broncos crushing the Falcons in SB33)
