Right, the refs tried to give it to the Steelers and couldn't, because of the instant replay. They couldn't get away with that one.
And who makes the call on the instant replays? Answer..............the same refs!
Here is the long and short of the refs calls on the game:
Pittsburgh Phantom touchdown .... OK, take seven off the board for Pittsburgh. Now it is 4th and inches..........Field goal? at least, maybe a touchdown. Net effect: minus four for Pittsburgh.
Seahawks Offensive pass interference: He did push off, but was it enough to justify a call? maybe maybe not. Seahawks go on to score a field goal on that drive. Net effect Seahawks + 4
Seahawks --- No Catch at the one yardline. That was the right call. Net effect none.
Pittsburgh --- Fumble recovery. Overturned. Refs made the right call on replay. Net effect none.
Seahawks -- Holding call negating first and ten at the one. Is that what it comes down to, a holding call? Holding can be called on just about any play, it is usually only called when flagrant. Seattle still had the ball and still had opportunity.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 17 Seattle 14.
