The Steelers were the better team and deserved to win. Its too bad Holmgren and the Seahawks found it easier to blame the refs than admit that they were not good enough to win.
I am not a Steelers fan but it drives me nuts to hear the Seahawks whine about the refs, when they had nothing to do with the loss.

The refs DID take two TD's from seattle on two brutal calls, they DID hand #7 a TD, sure they would have been on the half yard line ... but who knows what would have happened. Remember what happened they were on the 1/2 yard line in their previous game vs Indy? And they helped Pittsburgh with better field position after that awful, nasty, dirty play by Hassleback trying to make that tackle.
And the previous post is right, most coaches would have been fined what what Holmgren had to say.
I've been in ball for a long time, and I know that after all that work all year long, and you get to a lifetime goal, not being allowed to compete because of the refs is beyond frustrating.
