I don't think the NFL fixed the game, but I do think it is quite possible that most if not all of the refs got together and pooled some money and made a big bet on Pittsburg to win (and cover). It would be very easy for them to do, and who would ever know? Many of those calls were very questionable and the fact that every close call went against Seattle is highly suspicious.

Ummmm THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF FIXED.

The ref's fixing it is different from the "NFL" fixing. If the NFL fixed it, they told the refs what to do rather than the ref's doing it on their own, for profit.
Most of the people posting are thinking the NFL controlled it from the top, like Tagliabue ordering it, and refs are following orders.
I think the refs acted alone, and as part-time employees had the motive and means to carry it out.
