The officiating did not affect the final victor in this game.

Seattle had some bad breaks, but they also played poorly and not up to the caliber that they should have. Missed field goals, an untimely interception, 50% pass completion by Hasselback and less then 50% on third down conversions. All of that added up to a loss. The stuff ab out officiating is bull. Which call(s) do you feel prevented them from winning?

Untimely interception was a direct result of a bad holding call that should have been 1st & goal at the 1 yard line, adding 7 to the Seahawks and subtracting 7 from the Stealers because they got the ball at midfield because of another bad call the Hasslebeck tackle/low block or whatever., Again 50% pass completion, how many passes were taken away because of penaltys? 1 in the end zone, and 1 at the 1 yard line. thats 14 points. 50% third down conversions.. well if you keep getting phamtom 10 yard holding and interference calls id like to see you make it.
