Steelers - Winners of the 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2009 Super Bowls.

[MrPerson]

If you don't count the cheaters.

[joeybee12]

1. If you count the cheaters, Seattle and Arizona won 2006 and 2009...

...interesting that the worst referring in the history of super bowls are the last two times the SteAlers won.

[MrPerson]

2. Whine all you want.

But the refs didn't let Willie Parker go 80 yards.

The refs didn't not cover Hines Ward on the flea flicker.

The refs didn't let the Steelers drive 90 yards on the Cardinals.

The refs didn't not tackle James Harrison.

So go call the WAAAMBULANCE.

[joeybee12]

3. Eh, you can dish it out but you can't take it...

...admit it, you feel dirty about those two referee-enhanced "wins."

[MrPerson]

6. Never gave it a second thought.

[madinmaryland]

4. Though. accordingly, the Steelers would have had two less victories

had they not cheated when they played the Cowboys in the 70's. Lynne Swann being getting away with offensive interference on nearly every play.

Yeap. Dallas would have seven super bowl victories had the squealers not been cheating.

[MrPerson]

8. Lynn Swann was getting clobbered on every play.

[madinmaryland]

10. Not quite. He was pushing off on every play.

Absolutely shameful.

[MrPerson]

11. That little guy couldn't push to save his life.

Michael Irvin - now that guy pushed off.

[madinmaryland]

12. All Swann had to do was look at the defender and he would drew a flag

[MrPerson]

14. And that is pushing off? You can do better than that.

[MrPerson]

9. And the Steelers made Jackie Smith drop the ball.

[Upton]

5. Seattle was outright robbed in 2006

the Steelers have been the beneficiaries of cheating as much as any team in NFL history.

[MrPerson]

7. Nope. Taping is cheating. Refs making judgment calls is bad luck.

And Big Ben was in.

[madinmaryland]

13. Dude. They had video tapes in the 70's too. Makes you wonder how

an average team like the squealers could have won those super bowls.

[MrPerson]

15. Steroids. Legal Steroids.

[madinmaryland]

17. That's called cheating, cboy/upton!

[MrPerson]

18. It was legal back then.

[madinmaryland]

19. So you really are cboy/upton!! Rationalizing the use of Roids!

:rofl:

[cboy4]

35. When have I rationalized the use of roids?

Never. :eyes:

I said it hasn't been proven Bonds knowingly or unknowingly took steroids.

[MrPerson]

16. Also 4 Steelers drafted in 1974 made the HOF.

[madinmaryland]

20. Tainted by the Roids you just suggested they were using.

:shrug:

[MrPerson]

24. Legal. Ask Lyle Alzado.

[madinmaryland]

29. Nice post, cboy.

[Upton]

21. Bad luck?

The Steelers sure have had a lot of "good luck" thanks to the officials in big games over the years. ask John Madden about the "Immaculate Reception" ask Mike Holmgren about the 2006 Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh is not the deserving winner of anything except as the 2008 most polluted city in America...you earned that.

[MrPerson]

22. The film proves it was not touched by Tatum.

Madden can whine until he chokes and dies on his lard-induced vomit, it will not change.

[Upton]

25. You're correct...the film proves it was not touched by Tatum

it was touched only by Fuqua...meaning under the rules of that day it was an illegal catch.

[MrPerson]

26. Yep. Fuqua admitted as much. But the play stands as called.

Hee hee.

[MrPerson]

27. BTW. We didn't win a Super Bowl that year. Miami did.

[MrPerson]

28. We won in 74 when we made the Raidahs our bee-hutch.

[Upton]

32. A favor the Raiders returned in '76

[MrPerson]

33. Only because Harris and Bleier were injured.

[MrPerson]

23. Holmgren can shove his laminated clipboard up his ass.

The Steelers outplayed his whiny Sea-Chickens.

[Upton]

30. You outplayed the Seahawks?

Seattle had more total yards (396-336), more first downs (20-14), fewer turnovers (1-2), and a longer time of possession (33:02-26:58). You can't lose winning all those stats unless the officials are against you...behold:

Your buddies the officials reversed a Seahawk touchdown because of "offensive pass interference" (which analyst Michael Irvin says he would do "a hundred times a game"). In one of the strangest calls I've ever seen, Matt Hasselbeck was called for an illegal block, an impossible call to make since he was tackling, not blocking. Then there was the phantom holding call on a Seahawks pass play to down to the 1-yard line (a play in which replays showed the Steelers were actually offside). There were other things too, like Roethlisberger getting a TO despite replays showing the play clock reading zero.

Seattle was robbed of that Super Bowl and everyone outside of Pittsburgh knows it.

[MrPerson]

31. The were holding Haggans on every play. They had to call it

sooner or later. Dood, they lost 21-10.

[Forkboy]

34. Tell it to the judge.
