Game wasn't great.

A lot of controversy stateside with people saying the game was fixed. The oficiating was poor to say the least with 2 very questionable decisions

Rigged? really, why?

Party was great - free food was shite, but the rest was good.

OK, Liberty-X were crap too, but at least they knew it and were suitably embarresed to be there

Agree with G on the game - more than 2 marginal calls which changed the flow/outcome of the game.

The Steelers trick play - don't know how to describe it properly - counter, reverse sweep, RB pass for TD- fantastic - best play of the night.

Rigged? really, why?

Not realy sure, there was a touchdown that was called back for aleged pass interference then a touch down that was allowed after review that showed the ball not crossing the line. The seahawks were called for every penalty where as the steelers were not.

All in all it didnt show the NFL in the best light

By the letter of the law, that was pass interference, but a very harsh call as there is no way the defender would have got anywhere near the ball anyway.

As for the TD, I reckoned it did break the line, but only just. The angles used were not 100% conclusive, and it's purely down to individuals opinion.

I don't think the game was rigged, I just think there was some bad calls.
