Is this the best you can do?

A QB with the worst quarterback rating in superbowl history,a team that had fewer total yards on the field.

The refs calling back TD after TD and even stevie wonder couldve saw the game was fixed.Yeah you sure told us so.........

I shouldve known the bettis story all but guranteed the stealers a win."STEALERS"

I thought superbowls were to be played on a nutral site,they were giving away terrible towels to any fan who wanted one at the door.And were selling stealer XL cahpion merchandise before the game even kicked off.

But no seahawk towels no seahawk XL championship merchandise......this game was fixed and everyone saw it.

If more than 2,000 people showed up to support the Seahawks, people might have made towels for the Seahawks. However, no one really cares about the Seahawks so why would they waste money making blue tissues when no one would want them???

I was listening to NPR the other day and they had a writer on from Seattle... cracking up about how the men where going to cry when the Seahawks lost... I thought he was joking... I thought wrong.

Not smack, just just something from my experience.

If "they" were giving away terrible towels, it could have easily been some other group doing it. When we went to Houston, the Boston Globe was giving Patriots stuff to everyone on the street - even offered stuff to us. We declined. I wished that a business in Charlotte would have stepped up and done something similar - maybe next time.

Detroit was a neutral site - but it just so happened that it was a 5 hour drive away for Pittsburgh natives. That's just bad luck. When it's in Arizona, Seattle will have the advantage over the East Coast teams, so if Seattle makes it, their fans should take advantage of it.

You possibly could be right,the towels were handed out inside the stadium to any fan that wanted them.

It could have been a private group,but watching the thousands of towels being swung around on TV just made me sick to my stomach when my buddy called my cell from the game and told me.

Pittsburgh outrushed your team. That's a more telling stat. And Roethlisberger had 5 3rd down completions for first downs to keep drives alive. He also ran one on 3rd down for a first as well. All in all the team was 8-15 on 3rd down conversions while Seattle finished 5-17. They got some yards, but couldn't sustain enough drives to get to the endzone often enough.

LMMFAO at "giving away terrible towels to any fan who wanted one"!!!!!!!!!

Buddy I was there, and I can assure you nobody was giving terrible towels away. They had them for sale, but they were $10. This is the superbowl man, you think Steelers fans just jumped on the bandwagon? Dude, 3 Rivers and now Heinz Field have had a sellout streak longer than the Seahawks have been in fuging existance. Terrible towels were hard to come by in Pittsburgh the week before the game. No Steelers fan showing up would hardly be without one. All those terrible towels you saw? Ninety nine percent of them were brought in by the fans, including my own.

The problem was that Steeler nation is 20 times bigger than Seahawks nation, and they carried that ratio into Ford Field. Pittsburgh fans bought the tickets, stayed at the hotels, and showed up to support their team. The Seahawks had home field all through the playoffs, but their fan base just wasn't big enough to help them much in the Superbowl.

Why didn't the Seahawks just come up with their own "towel" knockoff?

They coulda been the:

Caffeinated Kerchiefs

Boeings Bandanas

Microsoft Manes

Drizzling Dusters

Rain Rags

Oh, the possibilities are endles!!!! lol

    • It can happen but it’s nothing like the NBA. One player doesn’t make the difference in the NFL that one player can in the NBA. Also, there are just not the same amount of trades and even opportunities. Because the NFL isn’t just one stud away, you don’t get a lot of opportunities like Miami did with Tua or the Jets did with Zach Wilson. Both teams got multiple 1sts for players they traded (Jets had 5 1sts in 2021-2022 and Miami had 5 1sts in 2020-2021) and both got top 5 picks to select a QB. They both made some good and bad picks but Miami turned Tua into multiple playoff appearances even though Tua isn’t elite. Wilson was just so bad that the Jets still sucked. We had our opportunity in 2022 where we would have had 6 1sts and 4 2nds in 2023-2025 and probably had a top 5 pick in 2023 or 2024 for a QB without trading up. Unfortunately, Fitterer didn’t have the foresight to realize a full rebuild was necessary and when a team offers you 2 1sts and a 2nd for a non-QB like Tunsil and Burns, you take it. One thing I wish trades had in the NFL that they have in the NBA is protected picks. A moron like Fitterer could have a top 5 protected pick so his terrible GMing doesn’t accidentally give the Bears the #1 overall pick because the moron Fitterer incorrectly thought we were 1 player away from the playoffs.
    • Anyone that believes getting a couple late season wins to end the season at 4-13 while picking 9th in each round, other than 2-15 with the 1st pick in each round is not being realistic.  It happens nearly every other year, Jags gave the browns a insane package to move from 2nd to 5th. If not for late season pointless/everyone forgets late season wins the Panthers would have gotten that franchise changing package. Not to mention Panthers would have had Herbo and Sewell in other years, but nope. Do I need to bring up da bears??? The goal is long term winning in order to make the playoffs, one season to tank could spark it with a Burrow that's gets sacked 60 times on the way to a SB.  I want to win as bad as anyone, but the second the Panthers are eliminated from playoff contention, the ONLY solution is to lose the remaining games to gain a better chance to never do that again. No other answer.
