Steelers? Seahawks?

Well, I think only Ben's elbow broke the plane, the touchdown brought back by holding wasn't holding, and the "push-off" wasn't really a push off as the defender wasn't affected by the contact. I do agree that the Seahawks didn't take advantage of their better play, as they did outplay the Steelers, but in pivotal situations, the refs blew it. There were a few times the announcers even made comments about bad calls. Yeah, I think Stevens did fumble the ball, but that was obviously a blown call. As for the holding not being called, it always happens in the NFL without being called. But I also noticed the Steelers center starting to lean backwards before snapping the ball. Isn't that a false start? Never called either.

Steelers baby, awesome.

Hasselbeck also got called for a "chop block" after he threw the interception when he was trying to tackle the db that intercepted it, that added a 15 yard penalty and was another to add to the bogus call list. Of course, he shouldn't have thrown the interception in the first place.

How about the Stones? That was a horrible performance.

Great pic Jody. Looks like a TD to me. Hopefully Sean Alexander will sign with Pittsburgh next year.

I should have put this at the end of my post, I am glad that Bettis got to go out the way he did. I wouldn't mind seeing Shaun Alexander somewhere else, although I have gotten used to seeing him as a Seahawk, Gotta pull for former Crimson Tide players.

MVP should have been given to ref, Bill Leavy......

I was not sober at all by that time, but I did think the same. He sounded bad

The Stones are coming to Vegas. I checked prices for good seats, are you sitting down, no sit down, 400.00 and up per ticket, WTF.

You guessed it - I passed.
