For me: Snow Job

mtbykr said:Conspiracy or not--the officials completely sucked and made it look like they were on the take. The NFL is lucky that they did this to seattle who has tame (er) fans. If this crap happened in another city (boston, pitt, denver, ect...) there would be riots! -- and that would end up being the headline. Thanks NFL for desicrating a good thing!
BJ_McWild said:it was surprising they called Roth's run a TD. that was short of the goal line.
the offensive PI on Darrell Jackson wiping out a TD was borderline but not insane.
there were some holding calls.
did I miss anything else?

There was nothing that even came close to the replay ref overturning Polamalu's interception against the Colts. But, guess what? The Steelers found a way to overcome that and win the game.
hwc said:What happened yesterday was simple. The Seahawks played like crap and the Steelers made a few big plays.
Do we need to count the ways the Hawks stunk up the joint? How 'bout four dropped passes by the TE? How 'bout the punter never once keeping the ball out of the end zone, blowing opportunity after opportunity to pin the Steelers deep and control field position? How 'bout clock management at the end of the both halves that made the Rev. Herm Johnson look like a genius? How 'bout the Seahawks receiver not even making an effort to get the second foot in-bounds on an easy TD catch down the sideline? How 'bout two missed FGs? How, 'bout letting a simple off tackle run go 75 yards untouched into the end zone? How 'bout giving up a 3rd and 28 conversion to the goal line? That's just bad football.
Look, it was a sloppy game. The Steelers figured out a way to put 21 points on the board in an ugly game. That's why they won.
