The personal foul for roughing the holder was a joke on the field goal.

They missed an obvious block in the back against Pittsburgh on the 100 yard return at the end of the first half.

It was the same way the last time the Steelers were in the Super Bowl.

I don't know what game you're watch rosebud, but that was probably one of the best officiated games of the season.
I thought the RTP call Walt mentioned was a little picky but overall they had a "super" game. Pittsburgh was not given anything and that is coming from someone who does not care for the Steelers.
I do though, care about the game and it was exciting, competitive and superbly officiated.

I think that a possible reason people think the game was poorly officiated was because there were so many penalties and it caused the game to slow down immensely. However, all of their penalty calls were completely justified.

And those same people would have complained if they did not call those penalties. You cannot win either way. And that is why you cannot care what people that do not officiate think.

you guys are a joke, you cant ever just admit that the officiating was one sided (for the 1st 3 quarters) and it effected the outcome of the game.

Obviously the NFL game is too hard to officiate 100% correct, Oh well its fun trying to convince you to at least consider this one was more than slightly lopsided. Just like the last steelers game vs Seahawks.

Mcually is a flag happy, and did not give Arizona the benefit of the doubt all night. I wish Mike Carey would have done the game tonight, Or even #85.

Actually, I thought the *line play* was the worst I've ever seen at the NFL level -- the number of hook-and-turns and simple takedowns were more than I've ever seen in a game. You just don't let that go cause you "don't want to throw a lot of flags."

OK, I'm done playing with the troll.

That wouldn't have changed a thing. The fouls would have still been there and they would have flagged them. It is obvious that you know nothing about football or officiating.

In an ealier post you made mention that the referees in the Super Bowl were terrible. That is not even close to accurate. Referees is singular as there is only one.

Now go away, your ignorance is showing!

I thought the crew did a fine job. They had several close calls that looked fine to me.

I have no idea how anyone could say the holder was barely touched. And I think it was one of the announcers these trolls love to trust who said the holds did effect the plays they occurred on.

Next up for the fanboys: bashing the Final Four and NBA Finals refs. I can't wait.
