The officiating didn't cost Seattle the game, sorry. I'm tired of hearing this. There were two bad calls made -- the Clark Haggans holding call that brough back a big play and the Hasselbeck block that added 15 yards to an already momentum swinging Ike Taylor interception. Some of the other calls were very close, but they were the right calls to make. The ball obviously crossed the goal line on Ben's TD dive (the officials even reviewed it) and there was a pretty obvious push off on the offensive pass interference in the end zone. The Steelers didn't play nearly as well as they have for the past 7 weeks, but if any team deserves this game, they do.
