text: do you feel that the referees in the super bowl game influenced the outcome of the game?   well, of course, the refs influence the outcome of everygame. even if they call a perfect game and don't make any mistakes, their calls will influence who wins the game.  but i don't see what the big deal is with the refs in the superbowl. overall, they did a good job. the only call that they missed was that block by hasselback, other than that, they made all the right calls. people just want someone to blame for their team losing, unfortunately the refs are the easiest people to place the blame on. anyways, if the refs had called a mistake-free game then the steelers still would have won.
