I agree, the call could have gone either way, and either way both sides could have insisted they got robbed. Was the call a blatantly biased one that gave the Seahawks the game though? No way-if it was such an intentionally wrong call, let's face it, reasonable people would not be disagreeing about it. It's a matter of an inch or two, seen by the human eye in a flash of an instant, and not even visible enough on replay to conclusively say one way or the other.
In any case, don't you think Bill Cowher goes for it and gets the TD on fourth and 1/2 inch in the Super Bowl? Based on past experience I'd say that's a 99% probability.
Same thing with the offensive pass interference. If Seattle apologists would be honest with themselves and imagine that play as a Steeler on offense and Seattle on d, they know damn well they'd be SCREAMING for that OPI call.
Look, I don't mind people questioning this call or that call, but to say it was some kind of concerted effort is ridiculous-these are split second calls, there's not time to think "Ok, that wasn't really a penalty but I really want the Steelers to win"-these are not OBVIOUS mistakes like the overturned Polamalu interception.
I agree 100%.
