Yep - there were missed calls on the Seahawks. The one I am aware of (and I'm sure there are more) is a clipping non-call on Roethlesberger (I'm sure I butchered that spelling).

There was also a bad ruling on an apparent catch-and-fumble that went against the Steelers.

However, rarely do missed calls alter the flow of the game like the made bad calls against the Seahawks - nullifying one touchdown and calling back a pass to the 2 yard line, both when the Seahawks are only down 4 points.

As a fan of football (my team is the Jets - but don't get me started on THEM), I thought this years big game was anything but super. If the two teams had slogged it out sloppily, I would have been happy. As it is, I believe that the refs changed the game in a big way.

I don't believe it was a conspiracy, mind you. But they definitely affected the game for the worst with their blown (and some missing) calls.

BTW, I didn't understand "W-E" from your post.
