Default Great season, disappointing ending

Thanks for asking.

Certainly, the officiating sucked. I was actually much more upset about Djack’s phantom push-off than I was about Roethlisberger phantom TD, which admittedly could have gone either way. Djack’s TD, on the other hand, was 100% clean.

But the NFL has had lousy officiating all year, and great teams overcome it. And though the Hawks might be a great team, they certainly didn’t play a great game. You can’t win a Superbowl w/ poor execution and miscommunication. The Steelers got it done. Seattle did not.

I’ve watched the team all year long, and this was one of the worst games they’ve played. It’s sad to see it happen when it mattered most. But even a disappointing end can’t take away from a phenomenal season by a team that exceeded all expectations.

In the meantime, go Sonics!
