Sorry. I forgot to specify. I was talking about Olympic Shuffleboard.
I figured you didn't see the Colt's game when the NFL came out the next day and apoligized for the bad calls against the Steelers. But they overcame those bad calls anyway --- that's what CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS DO.
As to yesterday, IMHO, there were only two calls I question. The 3rd quarter holding that negated a pass inside the Steeler five yard line, (at least I didn't see the hold) and the chop block on the interception return --- that was just a wrong call. On the first, Seattle may get a TD, or may get a FG. Either way, it does not change the outcome. On the second, it's still the Steeler's ball only on the 30 instead of the 45.
The offensive interference was the correct call -- a receiver can not push off, and he did it right in front of the Ref and it wasn't a subtle push. I called it exactly when it happened. On Ben's TD, the ball did break the plain of the goal before he was pushed back. ABC only replayed the view from the far side. If you paid attention to the original near side view, it was obvious the ball was over the goal line before he was pushed back. Thats a TD.
Folks not familiar with the rules of football might not like the outcome, but those are the rules. And Championship teams understand that bad calls can go both ways and neither are excuses for losing. Seattle lost that game for only one reason --- too many dropped passes. There is no one but themselves to blame for that.
