Works for me. Steelers won. All that matters. Steelers > Patriots. It's not like I have some huge grudge against the Steelers, I just think that they benefitted from some extremely questionable calls. As for Steelers>Patriots, good luck with that. The Patriots were easily the most injured team this season and still almost made the playoffs. I would not have wanted to play them at the end of the season. Plus Patriots SB wins in my lifetime>Steelers Super Bowl wins in your lifetime.

Every media outlet has said that the Adrian Wilson 'roughing the holder' was a justified penalty. You just can't do it. A player has to maintain control of his body in that situation. And Pittsburgh did play them near the end of the season. Destroyed them, actually.

Plus, the whole Patriots dynasty* was started on probably the most questionable call sports have ever seen. The Patriots thrived off of ridiculous luck.

Let me get this straight, you are arguing the Tuck Rule- which has been universally accepted as a correct interpretation of a rule- but you're saying that I can't say anything about the Wilson play. That makes no sense. I'm also unsure what other "luck" the Patriots had in winning their Super Bowls. I suppose you're just upset about the two times the Patriots beat the Steelers in the Conference Championship game.
As for the Steelers destroying the Patriots, the Patriots also won their last four games of the season (including a 40 point win over the Cardinals). They were easily the most injured team in the NFL last season- yet they went 11-5 in a superior conference than the Steelers.

The Patriots had one of the weakest schedules in the league.

He also said Warner clearly fumbled at the end. He also said the Steelers would've had another play at the end of the first half even if Harrison wasn't in the endzone. He also explained why Santonio wasn't flagged for his celebration. Basically, he told people like you to shut the hell up and stop whining.

But Play is right, it's not worth arguing with you. The officiating was not even, or fine. The worst part is, I don't really care. I don't mind that the Steelers won, and I feel like I can say with no reservations that I'm completely unbiased. Not sure why you had to go after the Patriots either, especially when I never brought them up.

Not sure why you had to go after the Patriots either, especially when I never brought them up. I don't like the Patriots very much. And being so set in your opinion that any outside information (not coming from me, but just about everyone else) has no effect on your opinion doesn't show a little bit of bias? Right. You say so definitively that the officiating wasn't fine or even but fail to provide any legitimate proof. A couple judgment calls could have gone either way, but by and large the game was officiated well enough. I could come up with as many missed calls against the Cardinals as you could the Steelers. I guarantee that.
