... Again I go back to Cowher, if you lose "because" of the refs then you really lost because you put yourself in a position where the refs mattered too much. ...

I think he meant it if one or two calls were against you. This wasn't even close. The refs were either incompetent or corrupt. Not sure which is worst. No team benefits from poor officiating.

Both teams were not themselves during the game and the final product shows it.

Too bad the NFL is being corrupted like all great American institutions that liberals can't stand.

I don't exactly see the liberal link here, but nice stretch.

When Cowher made that statement was after the 4th time in one season the league apologized for blowing calls that cost the Steelers a game, reverse those 4 games and the Steelers go to the playoffs which they didn't do.

The officiating was so-so, not incompetent or corrupt. Not great either, but not half as bad as the Seattle fans are saying. All the calls the Seattle fans are complainig about the most were 100% correct at all times.
