Unfortunately the Steelers 'D' allowed many more yards to the Seahawks than the Steelers gained. If you add the yards which the refs stole from Seattle, not to mention the points, Seattle would have had about 500 yards. Without the terrible calls the Seahawks would have had scored at least 11 more points. When the Steelers were nearly robbed in the INdy game, I said so, and when Seattle got screwed in this game, I say so. I heard the old Packers announcer Jim Irwin on Monday and he had it right. The officials should not call marginal calls in the biggest game of the year. The offensive pass interference was a perfect example of a situation where the Steeler DB had his hands illegally on the receiver twice during the pass route, and the two players were basically handfighting at the end. The holding call and phantom tackle at the end of the game were beyond poor calls. With the biggest game of the year headed towards a fnatastic finish, it should have been the players deciding the game, not the refs. BTW I find it hard to believe Pittsburg played the second half without committing ONE infraction? Give me a break.........
Yeah and no Seahawk ( or Steeler ) OL was holding. I see it every play.
If they called every penalty the game would take 5 hours.
I am all for dropping all penalties except, offsides, certain illegal procedures ( movement and number of players on field ), and certain personal fouls ( spearing and fask masking ).
You want to ground it fine do it.
If high dollar WR's want to tlka smack, then play on an even field and earn those catches. Open season on QB's if they have the ball. I for one am tired of watching rushers having to let up so as not to get a "hitting the QB" penalty whaa whaa.
Kind of like government less is better.
