In that game not really. A lot of bad calls were made, especially the Bowman fumble, "head to head" hit, as well as others. I agree overall Seattle is better, but they should have lost that game.
And please quote me on this. ANY team from the NFC West can beat the Broncos.

That last part. Is that a fact of an opinion?

An opinion. All the teams are built like Seattle in the NFC West. They are tough, physical defenses. They like to run the ball with big, bowling ball backs [bar Arizona], and have success in it. They have mobile QB's who can air it out when need be. Even though they might not be as good as Seattle, I am saying there is no way Denver can take on Arizona and San Fransisco, and the Rams pounded their starters in the preseason. Of course Denver won with it's back-ups, but it is clear who was better out of the starters.

I wanted Seattle to win, I like Seattle better, and they are a better team; but it was obvious the referees were out to get them. The Rams play Seattle much better than they play the 49ers, and that is why I hate the 49ers.

Probably not. A good odds maker never looses. You're just taking money from one poor sap, taking your handling fee, and handing it to the next guy.

This is not the only sport this happens in. Clearly Miami Heat refs love to not make calls or give calls to Miami that were not there. I wish I could find the picture. But yeah it's sports in General. I'm a Patriot an and the refs give us calls that are like wow really but IDC I'm a Patriots fan

I just don't get why the NFL would rig the game in favor of Seattle. The 49ers are a much more storied franchise with a bigger fan base, so if they wanted to rig it they would have rigged it for them.
Most of the calls in that video are very close, and get called the majority of the time, such as that first one. That is getting called helmet-helmet 99% of the time. When we slow it down and go frame by frame, we see that its clearly shoulder to shoulder. But at full speed from the ref's perspective that's the exact type of hit they're taught to call. Its just the way the game is these days.
These plays in this video really aren't bad calls, you see them constantly throughout every game of the year. That "hold" that comes after the TD reversal? You see that not get called 10 times a game in the NFL. Every offensive lineman grabs on to the defensive player, and when they pull away you'll see the jersey get pulled a little and then they let go. It never gets called. The rest are borderline plays that are just like that. I would imagine you could make this exact same video showing the game being rigged against the Seahawks.

seattle was picked to be in the superbowl before the season even started , plus they were a better team overall ... i like kap but wilson is just more poised and above the shoulders he is just better ... but i agree with the notion any team in that division could have beat the broncos , the NFC west is just that good. Seattle and san fran to me were the most complete teams.

Wasn't rigged. Referees just suck a lot.
In the Chiefs game against San Diego when we were playing our backups it came down to a field goal and the Chargers had an illegal formation which should have been called giving Ryan Succop another shot at the goal. He almost definitely would have made the second kick. We lost in overtime because of it and while it really had no negative impact on us since we were in fact playing our backups and were already slotted in the playoffs the Chargers winning prevented the Steelers from going to the playoffs. Referees apologized later that day but it was too late to do anything about it.
