He PUSHED OFF right in front of the Ref. Had he not done so that ball might have been picked. Jeeze, why have rules?
"Phantom hold" my Aunt Sadie! THere are holds on dang near every play. The number of obvious holds by Seattle in the 4th quarter NOT CALLED clearlty showed the refs were showing favoritism TOWARDS the shehawks
And how about the OBVIOUS clip on Big Ben when that pick was being run back?
Calls went both ways. The game went one way. Towards the best team.
Or are you going to blame Alexander's complete dissapreance on the refs too?
The so-called push-off by DJ - look at it again; yes, he stuck out his hand, but it made no impact on the defender, who was NOT pushed back or off the play, and who - himself - a nanosecond beford - had HIS hand on DJ. it should have been a non-call; it was ticky-tack.
The Steelers won on one gimmick play, one fluke TD where a guy goes 70 yards off-tackle, a broken play on third-and-long when a Seahawk defender slipped, and 4-5 BS calls by the refs. To see this as some dominant performance by the Steelers is sheer idiocy.
