The calls sucked, the fix was in big time.
Pittsburgh would not have come close to winning without their zebra buddies.
They took 14 points from Seattle, assuming they scored from the 1 yard line. The offensive pass interference was very questionable at best and a late call. The holding call wasn't questionable: it was simply wrong. And also a late call. Do we see a pattern here?
They gave Pittsburgh either 7, 3 or no points depending on what Pittsburgh did from the 2 inch line. The Bus would have put it in for sure...or maybe not, but we'll never know. Why run a bothersome play when your ref buddy can change his mind while running in to mark the ball?
Let's factor in the correct calls and see how the score and game would have progressed following that first legitimate Seahawks touchdown.
I really, really hope these teams play next season.
