The Pittsburgh fans whined about it for at least a week and at least one Pittsburgh player said the refs were trying to give the game to the Colts. Not only that, but many Colts' fans on here acknowledged it was a horrible call, which is more than I can say about many Steeler fans in discussing yesterday's game. If any Seahawks players whined and complained on the field yesterday, I didn't see it.

Being that the NFL came back and said that it was a bad call, what's your logic?

Also, recommend you see previous post from busstopsindetroit. He makes excellent points.

There's a bit of a difference between a ref making a bad call on the field and one looking at a replay tape and chooisng to OVERTURN an obvious interception. That said, I don't think it was an attempt to give the game to the Colts, but it certainly was a giant (NFL admitted) mistake that could have cost the Steelers the game.

The calls in question here are (with the possible exception of the Hasselbeck penalty, which certainly didn't hand the game to the Steelers anyway)legitimate calls-some of them are judgement calls to be sure, but they weren't blatantly wrong and they didn't give the Steelers the game-Seattle's poor play did. There were also bad calls that went against the Steelers as well, but they seem to go unmentioned in most of the media frenzy.
