funny how the steelers fans were up in arms a couple weeks ago for a bad call in which they won the game, now they get a BUNCH of bad calls in their favor and not a peep from them. Why didn't they thank the refs, just saying they deserve most of the credit. I'm tired of arguing and I'm not a fan anymore. 25 years of football is enough for anyone.

1) Bad call or not, they still won -- winners win, losers whine.

2) In the Colts game, I actually said the Colts would challenge and possibly win, because of all of the talk about the rule after TB's game tying TD against WAS was taken away the week before.

A few points: 1) Officiating wasn't perfect, for sure. The Steelers came out ahead on the bad calls THIS game (for a change) and I freely admit we were fortunate to get the calls that went our way. 2) Quite a few of the worst calls were the ones that weren't made...tons of holding by the Seahawks offensive line that did not get called at all. 3) Referring to people that hold grudges for decades...that would be Madden, whose dislike for the Steelers will last to his dying breath. 4) The Seahawks are a fine team that lost. Live with it; we Steeler fans have certainly had our share of that.
