I have never seen a guy get a 15 yard penalty for tackling the guy with the ball as Hasselback did.

Yep, that was the lone terrible call of the game, although it was probably balanced by the non-call on the interception return by Seattle when Roethlisberger was clipped from behind as he chased the defender.
15 yds. - 15 yds. = 0 yds. net advantage for either team.
The better team won the game.

Congratulations to the Steelers and their fans.

Two wrongs don't make a right.


But three lefts do. ;o)

Maybe the phanton holding call on the play preceding the steeler interception, or the non call the next play when Joey Porter horse collared Alexander. Or perhaps the non call when Big Ben called timeout when the clock was already at 0 and the next play he made the first down on a bootleg
...Everybody this morning is laughing about the terrible officiating and the concensus seems to be that the Steelers were on the receiving end of the vast majority of the calls. As for the clipping you refer to, that is laughable, Ben turned his back as the guy was blocking him
