Whatever. Bad calls happen. The view we see on replay from booth level and the mobile sideline level are NOT always the same view that an umpire or linesmen see. Bad calls are going to happen. Like I posted earlier, the Seahawks lost because Pittsburgh played better. They lost becuase of bonehead plays like Hasselbeck thinking he was Peyton. They lost because they let Big Ben get loose once too often, and they lost becuase routine kicking and receiving plays werent completed. But if it makes you feel better to blame someone other than Stevens and the rest of the receivers and ends, who when they werent dropping passes, were catching them out of bounds, be my guest. If you want to blame NFL offciating for Holmgren not using the League MVP in the role that brought them to the Bowl, knock yourself out. But dont criticize my assesment because your team didnt play as well as the team that won. Take your lumps and get'em next year. SEA is an excellent team, they WILL be back..
It's statements like this that undermine your whole post. No, they didn't play better. They won because, at the end of the game, they had more points on the board...but they were outplayed on Offense, Defense and it was about a push on special teams.
LOL........ those guys had "alligator arms" and played the sidelines poorly.
