Change just that one totally $h!t call and leave all the rest and Hawks are the champs.loafoftatupu":2dk9n0ga said:..........It was that garbage call in Super Bowl 40, Haggans comes offsides by a mile, Hass completes to Stevens at the 1 and the flag for a holding call on Locklear immediately follows, it wasn't even holding! In addition I do not think that holding should ever be called on a player that is offsides. That was the killer, it was the one call that changed everything. Even with all the others that were thown to call back big yards or TDs the Hawks were going to do it against a struggling Pittsburgh..........
Refs following the script
You may be right, but the refs weren't sure so they quickly followed it up by calling Hasselbeck for an illegal low block when he had the audacity to try and tackle the guy that just intercepted the pass he shouldn't have had to throw.
The "illegal block" is the call that convinced me it was fixed. I've never seen a penalty called like that one at any time, at any level, except in that Super Bowl.
