I have never seen such a one sided game in terms of the officials. The phantom calls on Seattle were incredible. I have never seen a guy get a 15 yard penalty for tackling the guy with the ball as Hasselback did. Was it my imagination, or did Holmgren not even come out to midfield to shake Cowers hand. Not a conspiracy theorist here, but I think Bush wanted the Steelers to win and Abrahamoff bought off the officials. I see a congressional investigation led by that goofy Senator Patty Murray from State of Washington...

Pittsburgh's quarterback did not cross the goal line on the first TD, the holding call against Seattle was non-existent, as Madden said, and the offensive interference against Seattle was a joke, as Steve Young said. They were all game changing calls.

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.
