And it's clear Pittsburgh deserved to win and Seattle is a bunch of annoying whiners?
If I was Holmgren I'd be ****ed an bring the brutal officiating out in the open.
You'll note they said their piece then moved on, nobody has said anything in 06. They don't dwell on it ... and to say Karma has bit them in the a$$ by injuring #37?!?!

1. What brutal call? The block? Not that brutal and didn't really set up Pittsburgh
2. They gave them 4 max. Easy FG at the minimum and on the half yard with a great o-line and great RB's.
3. The call was weak but had been called plenty of times in the season. No screw job there.
So at most the Seahawks were screwed out of 4 points and the Roethlisberger TD was so close that it is hard to really complain about it. It wasn't like he was out by a yard or two. Realistically they couldn't stop the Steelers and couldn't score either. If Stevens could hold on to the ball perhaps they wouldn't have had to resort to whining about the refs.
