So far the penalties in question are the interference call, the Roethlisberger Td, and the holding call. The interference call was interference he extended his arm on the defender. Is it called a lot in the NFL no but is it a penalty yes. The Roethlisberger TD I think he got it in when he was in the air but if he didnt it is 4th and one inch not a yard but an inch one qb sneak away. The holding call might have been the wrong call but that happens. Look at the Steelers they had a lot of calls not go their way in the playoffs.

Also Seattle did not play well enough to win the game. They made no big plays, had bad play calling, and made mistakes. Pittsburgh played poor for most of the game as well especially on offense but made the big play when they had to. Even Roethlisberger who might of had his worse game of the season made big plays through the air and blocking. Seattle got a good team and im not taking away from them but they did not come up with the play when they had to and the Steelers did on offense and defense. Seattle had a great year and will probably be in contention in the NFC for several more years but the Steelers where better this year and will be looked at as the greatest run through the playoffs.
