You give a lot of thought to this. I agreed that had the Colts won we would be complaining. So I dont' know what else I can do. Regarding the Colts game, can YOU admit that the calls were bad and slanted toward the Colts? Regarding the SB - the touchdown was reviewed in the booth. Holmgren had 3 calls reviewed in the booth. Not all the calls went the Steelers way, but if you choose to believe that, go ahead. As you say, just because we won, does that mean that the Steelers fans have no legitimate complaints regarding the fumbles and personal fouls on behalf of the seahawk players?

I absolutely believe most of the calls went the Colts' way and admitted it during the game, as did the 20 or so Colts' fans I watched the game with that day.That's the difference, we acknowledged it. But, the Steelers got some calls that day too, just none as controversial as the overturned interception. I would have been embarrassed had they won that way.

Like the Colts/Steelers game, some calls went both ways during the SB, but it appears to me, and many (most?) others, the more controversial ones went against Seattle, thus the complaints about the officiating. You apparently think the officiating was fine, or at least fair/equally bad, so others have no basis in their complaints. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

BTW, again, I'm not trying to take anything away from the Steelers as a team. It's the officiating I have a problem with, including the bad call against TP in the colts' game, as an example.
