I've never cared for Seattle (not a dislike, just apathy towards them) so we rooted for the Steelers because my ex-wife came over to watch and shes from PA. But holy cow, we were all making remarks about how one sided the penalties were at key moments. But still, Seattle just flat out lost the game. They played well enough at times to overcome the penalties but would consistently shoot themselves in the foot without the refs help. But that still doesn't excuse the bad performance by the refs. The Steelers played badly. The Seahawks played worse and lost. The refs had nearly as bad a day as the Seahawks.

A totally embarassing game on the field IMO. Nobody has anything to be proud about. The Steelers just happened to be lucky enough to play a team that had a worse day than they did. Both teams seemed to play to "not lose" rather than to win while the refs seemed to "not want to make a mistake" themselves right into mistakes.
