First of all - I am a Jets fan (talk about whining opportunities!).

Second, the BS calls against the Seahawks definitely changed the character of the game - noticeably so.

Third, (although I have just changed it) my "There is no substitute for victory" tagline was a paraphrase of Gen. George Patton... "In war, there is no substitute for victory!"

Don't make too many assumptions, FRiend. I complain about the officiating because I firmly believe it severely detracted from the game - and the victory on behalf of the Steelers, for that matter.

The 75 yard run, BTW, was a brilliantly executed play - and a real b@llbreaker for the Seahawks.

The long TD pass was a direct result of bad calls against Seattle, though - both the spurious holding and the tackling below the waist flags.

Bottom line - The Steelers didn't win it. The Seahawks lost it, but the Steelers didn't win it. JMHO.

Is it true that they make Jets' quarterbacks fill out Workman's Compensation forms on Day 1 of training camp, just so that they'll be ahead of the game on the paperwork? ;)
