Refs called a lot of penalties on both sides, which we knew would happen with that crew. Calling a holding penalty on Pitt in the endzone and then on the first play of that winning drive shows balance, I think.

But it was obvious. Refs called against Pittsburgh only when it was obvious, like when Harrison abused that guy on the punt.
The roughing the holder play against Arizona was RIDICULOUS.

"Balance"???!!! What game were you watching? That was the worst officiating I've ever seen in a Super bowl. It ranks right up there with the hosing the Seahawks got in '05 from guess who?!
I thought the refs were too big a part of the game, but i didn't think they favored pitt. overturning the first roeth td was no gimmie. could have gone either way and went in favor of the cards. other than running into the snapper, which was a dumb play but should probably not have been a penalty, what else was so egregious? harrison should have been thrown out, but that rarely happens. the last warner fumble should have been reviewed, although looked like the right call.

up until the holding call in the endzone, the penalties appeared to always come in key situations and always go against the cards. i will say the holding penalty in the end zone HAD to be called. That guy was going to at the very lest bat the ball down and with that head of steam he was going to get to Roth prior to even throwing the ball.
And, by the way, on the 100 yard INT for a TD, I thought his elbow clearly hit the ground while the ball was on the 1/2 yard line.
And, no review on the final play. what's up with that.
You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.
