Are you also aware that bad officiating cost the Steelers "D" two fumble recoveries. And that the Steelers QB was pushed in the back, dead in the numbers after he threw an interception, with no penalty called?

I agree that the officials did a poor job against both teams.

Do you agree that the Steelers won the game anyway? That they were the better team and deserved to win?

One was down by contact, the other rolled out of bounds and would have been a very large gain for the Seahawks. So, wrong.

And that the Steelers QB was pushed in the back, dead in the numbers after he threw an interception, with no penalty called?

I didn't see it, would have to see a replay on it to offer an opinion.

Perhaps you missed this from one of the articles that has been posted:

Consider: The Seahawks lost 161 yards to penalties when you combine the penalty yards (70) and the plays the flags wiped out (91). By halftime alone, when it trailed 7-3, Seattle had had 73 hard-earned yards and a touchdown eliminated.

The Steelers did not lose anything close to 161 yards from ref calls.

Do you agree that the Steelers won the game anyway? That they were the better team and deserved to win?

Absolutely not. They might have won, but we will never know because of the world class horrific officiating.
