It wasn't the officials that screwed up the clock at the end of both halfs.

True ... Seattle deserved to lose because they made several key errors.

Still, the referees were too visible in the game -- they were calling Seattle very closely, and the Steelers not nearly as closely. The crucial holding calls, for instance, most of which were cheap, and wouldn't have affected the play in any case. And the flagrant Steelers offsides on one key play ... how in hell did the refs miss that?

This is total BS. The call I observed that was CLEARLY missed (unlike the others that it was unclear or were clearly correct) went against the Steelers. I forgot the quarter, but Seattle caught a pass, then fumbled and the Side Judge ruled incomplete. Pitt would have recovered the fumble had the whistle not blown.
