Very true. Seattle was on the bad end of almost every close call. That is not arguable. I will even agree that on the holding call, the Pittsburgh rusher that was held was clearly offside too.
The only bad call against Pittsburgh was the Non-call on the clear Block in the Back of Rothlesberger after the interception.
I will also agree that this was one of the most poorly officiated games I have ever seen. The Refs injected themselves on calls that should not have been made, ignored clear penalties on both teams on other plays (as they say, you can call holding on every play if you so desire).
But, despite all the bad calls, Pittsburgh would have won the game anyway. Seattle just made to many mistakes. Poor time management, dropped passes, missed FG's, etc. Pittsburgh made the big plays when they had too.
Pittsburgh also bowed up in the 4th period and ran the clock down with a running game that Seattle had stuffed all night, but could not stop when they has too. Which goes right to what I was saying, Seattle played good football all night, except when they HAD TO.
And the reception that was fumbled but ruled incomplete.
Well, there was also the "incomplete" Stevens catch-and-fumble and the incorrect overturning of Hasslebeck's fumble (by rule, he was not down by contact, but the referee blew the call on the replay).
