article on how golden tate catch changed nothing

Yeah..in the end you'd still be 10-6 with the 5th seed and GB would have won their division with a 10-6 record as they beat Chicago twice.

Huh?

Here's another post from the guy about the Seahawks from right before week 17.

He's saying that regardless of the outcome, both teams made the playoffs either way, so that game that was such an issue ultimately ended up being no issue. It doesn't cost either team a playoff game, and Green Bay didn't have a first round bye anyway. Either way, they both play in week 1 of the playoffs regardless of the winner of the Seattle/Green Bay match up in week 3.

Yeah, tell you what. I would concede that game (errantly!) If the NFL did the same for every bad call made this year! Never gonna happen so...

Go Hawks!

That is why when the Seahawks made the Superbowl I wasn't surprised for a minute. Disappointed? Beyond words. But not surprised. I had seen that movie before.

The NFL will move indomitably upon anything shining the light of truth contained within that article no doubt. I too, wasn't surprised about the outcome of XL*. Giving Bettis the Key to the City a week before the game was played told anyone paying even half attention that the NFL script had already been written. The unwitting actors simply had to take the stage and the ending was predetermined. How they got to that predetermined ending was the only part that was ad-libbed. I just assumed it was because the NFL didn't like the Seahawks. I wasn't smart enough to chase the money trail which gained true access to the truth.

Don't forget not only did they give Bettis the key to the city a week before XL*, but 75% of the what, 5 hour pregame show focused on/was devoted to Pissburgh and its players. The Seahawks were nothing more than an afterthought in the scripted "Steelers are a great franchise and just won another Super Bowl" bullshit.
