Only in the echo chamber of Pennsylvania.

Yes, and other districts of realityland.

Which play do you wish to complain about that hasn't been explained before?

Ben's TD? Official makes the call. No indisputable evidence available. Call stands.

Holding calls? Don't hold.

Holding calls lopsided? Heath Miller was called for holding on a Steelers successful screen pass. Gave us 2nd and 20. But we scored on the drive anyway.

Hasselbeck's illegal block? Dumb rule, but called according to the rule and according to prior use this season, including a call against Pittsburgh.

Other than that, the game featured two questionable non-turnovers by the Seahawks. And one block in the back against our QB.

Come on, you're defending the personal foul call on Hasselbeck? We're supposed to at least pretend we're trying to be objective when we defend our teams. Well, anyway it's been fun visiting Steeler Nation but I have to take off for the day. Have fun all.

One more thing: Did you guys know that the official who kicked this whole thing off with the "I-can-technically-get-away-with-calling-this-so-I-will-and-besides-the-Steeler-is-asking-me-to" pass interference call on Darrell Jackson is a Pittsburgh native? I'm sure the guy didn't have a preference for who won the game though...just a little bit of Super Bowl XL* trivia.
