Where are all those Seattle fans now!!!!

[kathy14-0]

Huh? Huh? WHat happened to them? Pittsburgh hardly played their best game and they still won by 11 points. It's sad when a team beats you by 11 points and they didn't even have a first down till the half.

Congrats to Pitt fans!!!

[HuckleB]

1. There's nothing worse than a sore winner.

And I spent the game rooting against Paul and Company.

[kathy14-0]

5. Except sore losers!

I wasnt even rooting for Pitt until their mouthy fans got on here and started acting like the game was over a week before it began. I was just wondering where they all went. They sure talked up a big game up for the last two weeks and now they're all mysteriously absent.......things that make you go 'hmmm.'

[HuckleB]

6. Whatever you say.

I was rooting for the Steelers, er against Paul Allen.

Still, if you weren't rooting for the Steelers, why post such a thread? Mouthing off before games happens every year. And Seahawks fans are hardly the worst.

7. If the Steelers had lost I'd have done the same but they werent as mouthy

There was one Seachickens fan in particular on here who always had something to say. You can't come on here every single day and talk up your team and say theyre gonna shut out their opponents then get beat by 11 by a team that didnt even get a first down until the second quarter. If you make that mistake you can expect to be mocked!

[HuckleB]

8. Sure you would, and sure they weren't.

LOL!

That's a hoot of a post from a poster who refers to Seattle as the Seachickens (Umm. You can't do better than that handy toddler-inspired tossback?),

[kathy14-0]

16. No, I can't

It just seemed a fitting nickname for them :)

[JVS]

28. Steelers fans try to keep quiet and not Jinx the thing. Those who...

claimed that the steelers would win the most were fans of other AFC teams who claimed that our conference was way better than the NFC

[HuckleB]

30. Hmmmm.

I have to say that's not my experience.

[LisaM]

31. What are you talking about? Sore winners are the worst

Kinda like Republicans, if you ask me.

As for the officiating, I think they pulled in those Sun Belt refs from the Alamo Bowl. It wasn't good, and it certainly seemed biased. However, they should have gone to someone other than Jerramy Stevens. I haven't liked that guy since he drove his truck into a nursing home, ran off, and then lied about it!

[democracyindanger]

13. Ain't that the truth.

I wasn't rooting for either team, just wanted a good game, and what I saw was one of the worst officiated games in any sport that was my misfortune to watch.

It's interesting that if you go to the various fan forums for other NFL teams, the overwhelming majority think Seattle got jobbed time and time again.

[Feenicks]

2. Seattle had TWO opponents-- the Steelers AND themselves

Too bad-- it would have been a lot closer if they hadn't shot themselves in the foot so many times! :cry:

[opiate69]

9. Actually, they had 3 opponents.

Firstly, the refs (sorry, but when the "winning" QB's final rating is less than 25, it's gotta be a hollow feeling.), secondly the Steelers, and of course themselves.
And before anybody wants to accuse me of 'sour grapes" simply because I'm a "homer", here's a discussion about the obviously biased officiating.

11. Didn't Seattle score their first points thanks to

the missed fumble no-call?

I didn't have a pony in the race, but it seemed that the officiating wasn't any worse than it normally is. The NBA still has the worse officiating hands down in sports.

[erpowers]

25. Which Missed Fumble No-Call

Could you please explain that for me. The only one I can think of is the Hasselback call where he was ruled down by contact. That seems late in the game so I am thinking that is not the one. So which one is it.

[kathy14-0]

17. Thats odd because it sounds like sour grapes to me

Want some cheese with that whine or are you good? :rofl:

[JVS]

29. LOL

[fishwax]

3. i don't really remember a lot of seattle fans

:shrug:

[kathy14-0]

4. There were two very obnoxious ones in particular

They;ve been mysteriously absent tonight. Probably sulking.

[opiate69]

10. Nope.. just taking a time out so I don't wind up

saying something that will get me banned.

[kathy14-0]

18. Too bad

It was a um, good game. :rofl:

[chimpymustgo]

14. Did you join DU just for THIS? This really isn't our spirit, sis.

Especially when the refs so blatantly controlled the game in favor of the Steelers. Crowing in the face of that is quite unseemly.

[kathy14-0]

15. Oh please

I forgot to mention Seachicken fans were WHINERS too.

[HuckleB]

22. You don't actually watch the NFL do you?

The Steelers led the league in whining this year.

[kathy14-0]

23. I don't see them here blaming "bad officiating" for their loss

They lost that game, for lack of better words, fair and square. They need to STFU and move on.

[HuckleB]

24. Are you that out of it?

Most of the people here talking about the officiating are not Seattle fans. Seattle fans are conditioned to lose and to accept it. And that's what they've done. It's fans of the NFL in general that are making this an issue, as they are worried about the future of a sport the love.

How about you posting a while on topics that matter at DU, and then coming back here? I think we'd all like to see that.

[kathy14-0]

34. How about you don't tell me what to do and where to post?

Thanks!! :hi:

All I hear is a bunch of you whining and throwing a temper tantrum because you lost fair and square. Get over it, you lost, you went home losers. Pittsburgh went home the champions and they deserved to win.

[HuckleB]

35. You don't read much, do you?

Where's the temper tantrum? That would be in your original post. And, of course, you ignore the fact that I rooted for Pittsburgh. Apparently because your arguments can't stand up to muster without your imagination.

Sad. Very sad.

But seriously, if you are going to join in at DU, you have to post elsewhere.

[HuckleB]

21. I was wondering the same thing.

It's bizarre.

[Broken_Hero]

12. I'm a Seahawk fan and I'm here now...

Good game, you won, Seattle shot themselves in the foot, had the oppurtunities to overcome, but didn't, they had some ticky tack calls which shouldn't have been called, but the plain and simple truth is this...Pitt made fewer mistakes, and made the big plays, and Seattle didnt...the refs helped out in that regard to a certain degree, but I dont blame them, for Seattles loss...Seattle lost, Pitt won. There are probably like 50 seahawk fans(just being sarcastic) outside of Washington state...I am one of them...it was a good game, I am happy that they made it to the dance...there were over 30 other teams this year that didn't make it, and Sea lost by one freaking game...they were close. There is always next year, barring W doesn't get us into a Nuke war....:) Now its time to focus on the Canucks, and Baseball!!...:)

[ticapnews]

19. I think they are zebra hunting

But that's just a guess.

[Beetwasher]

20. Not A Seattle Fan, But WTF Are You Talking About?

Seattle hardly played their best game either and the Refs really blew it.

Neither team deserved to win that game.

[chimpymustgo]

26. I didn't care who won, maybe had a slight preference for Steelers going in

But I do like football - and I'm a staunch fan of fairness.

That was a shameful "job".

[JVS]

27. Pissing and moaning about penalties

[qanda]

33. Talking about the stain that's been left on the Steelers

And the only stain seems to be all the sour grapes they are stomping on all over DU.

[Lefty48197]

This planet needs more class.
