Yeah the officials did your kicking and managed the clock for you. The Steelers "D" holding your high powered offense to 10 points was luck I guess.

Yeah, the mighty Steelers are allowed to call time out after the big clock behind the end zone gets to zero. They're special.

You might want to watch ESPN. Even those guys pretty much unanimously agree that the officiating sucked and that it was virtually all against Seattle. But Seattle didn't play well enough to overcome the refs and they committed as many huge mistakes as the refs did. Watch for the NFL to 'apologize' for at least one of the calls or for the commish to 'acknowledge' that there were problems with the officiating.

Its not the classy thing to do by Holmgren to bring up the bad officiating. But think of how you would have felt if Gore had been given the 2000 election because the Democrat vote counters changed the rules and starting giving Gore votes out of thin air. Oh wait, that did happen and you and I and every other GOP member yelled, screamed and hit the street to protest until we got a just outcome.

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.........
