Holgrem is one of the class acts of the league. He and his wife go on missions to foriegn countries every year to help people. His wife missed the game because she choose to be in Africa on missionary work. Name one NFL coach who has mentored more assistants and groomed more head coaches than Holgrem in the past decade.

To work so hard to go all the way to the superbowl, and then have a bunch of incompetent refs destroy any chance to compete fairly in the game was inexcusable.
Even a class act like Holgrem has a right to be utterly pissed off. The game was a complete discrace.

If those calls had gone against Pittsburgh, there would of been riots in both Detroit and Pittsburgh and half the city burned to the ground.

Gloat all you want about Seahawks whining, but if the tables were reversed, the Steelers fans and team would be acting 100 times worse.

Up until now, true.

...a bunch of incompetent refs destroy any chance to compete fairly in the game was inexcusable.

LOL

Hyperbolic much?

Maybe Holmgren can then explain how the refs tricked his team into dropping passes, missing field goals, and squandering time during the end of the second quarter and the end of the fourth quarter....

hehe, those refs are ticky indeed....

Sorry but Seattle was plainly mediocre.
But frankly, so was Pittsburg.
Pittsburg just happened to bust off ONE )and only ONE) great run during the entire game, and a couple "trick" plays.
add these three fairly decent plays to some truly bad calls, and you have a winner, or in this case, one team simply wasn't as bad as the other...IMHO

They're acting 100 times worse in winning.
