So, Paul Tagliabue, how does a team lose when it outgains an opponent by 57 yards, controls time of possession and wins the turnover battle?

You don't get points for outgaining your opponent, time of possession, and turnovers. Seattle couldn't put the ball in the endzone or kick a long field goal or move the ball in the red zone. That's how you win the statistics and lose the game.

Sure they did and could and the refs kept taking it away from them. Offensive interference, and Holding.

That's the same thing as putting more stock in exit polls than the actual ballots cast.

Seattle couldn't put the ball in the endzone...

Although I'm delighted that the Steelers won, I still don't get the "Offensive Pass Interference" call against the Seahawks (when they did get the ball into the end zone.)

The Steelers made three scores as a the result of a great pass play, a great running play, and a great gadget play. They deserved to win.
