Fred,
That was $10,000 that Vegas won off of me! Based on your "reliable information"! What's your home address- I'm headed your way! On second thought- we both better lie low- until these Steelers fans come off of their high!
Well, things are interesting here in Pittsburgh this am. Consensus is it was an ugly win. Me? I got so ticked-off when Big Ben threw that stupid interception in the second quarter that I went to bed. That's right, I was in bed at 7:40 pm eastern time. I had the game taped so I figured if they lost, I would spare myself 3 hours of aggravation. The only hope I had was that as crappy as the Steelers were playing the Seahawks only had 3 points. So, I was awakened from sleep with a phone call from my daughter (away at college) informing me of the win and my wife barging into the bedroom shouting at me that they won and I missed "a helluva game." Now I can watch the tape tonight with no worries. Ugly but effective. Good thing you didn't accept my small wager, Fred!
Congrats Doc. I enjoyed the game with a few ice cold Yuengling Lagers......I needed them since the refs blew the 1st Qtr and didn't allow Seattle the TD score. That took 2500 dollars from me for the 1st qtr box

SwingNorthtoSouth,
Sorry for your $ loss. I'm pretty sure if the Seattle receiver does that push-off move anywhere but DIRECTLY in front of the official it doesn't get called. However, if Ben gets ruled as down at the 1 inch line I still think they go for it and get in with the QB sneak. I guess we'll never know.Good teams get past the questionable calls---just look at the calls made against Pittsburgh in the Indy game. Then again, if the Seahawks tight end catches a few passes..........
I still haven't seen the tape of the game, just going on what I heard and the first 1 1/2 quarters I watched. Maybe this weekend I'll take some Valium and watch it. Talked to a doc at the hospital this am who went at the last minute---he ran into Jim Furyk who is a huge Steeler fan and said he was very friendly. My buddy was at a casino the night before the game and ran into a couple of Seahawks fans. They said to him, " Wow, you guys really hate us." His reply was, " No, we hate the Browns and the Ravens. You guys are just sorta' in the way!"

First Mike, NO ONE said to go put the house on the line . Second I would have preferred to see a well refereed game regardles sof who won. Being a Seattle fan I am a bit more bitter, however, had Stevens hung onto the football every time Hasselbeck hit him in the hands, the score would have been very close to what I predicted....

Neither team played as well as they were capable. Because both teams were spotty, the refs had plenty of calls to make. If both teams performed better, you would NOT have seen the refs at all. And, BTW, Ben DID SCORE A TOUCHDOWN. A football coach I respect said that it was definately a TD. All that is needed is the nose of the ball over any part of the white goal line (which is 4"-5" thick). He most definately got a part of the ball over the white line before being knocked backward and downward from the contact with the defender. Seattle moved the ball well, but killed themselves with penalties, poor clock management and missed field goals. The Stillers made big plays. Seattle is clearly the best team in the NFC, but having said that, I also think that they played pretty well, the Stillers did not play well at all, and still won the game. I also feel that Cincinnati, Indianapolis and probably Denver would beat Seattle as well. Right now, the AFC is much stronger- but that is something that goes in cycles, and will change.

Fred,
I love that quote! Classic!
Take it easy- we'll get out and play in March.
On second thought- we both better lie low- until these Steelers fans come off of their high!
