Ah yes - the Roethlisberger interception - where he himself went to tackle to seahawk who caught it, and was blatantly pushed in the back so he could not complete the tackle. Most people call it a 'clip', but it was never called. Watch the replays.

There were botched calls on BOTH teams, but it seems the Seahawk fans only look at the ones against their team to complain about losing.

The referee's blew calls, yes. But it was against both - get over it and quit bellyaching - the final score showed who won.... jeez....

Absolutely right, that's one that has gotten lost in the Seattle "whine-fest."

I had forgotten about that. The missed (blatant) block in the back cost the Steelers far more yards than the bad "low block" call cost the 'hawks.

You are right, it WAS a clip.
