how many field goals did the sehawks miss? If they were that good, they could have gotten more points. They were moving the ball well but did not do squat in the red zone. How bout that nice fancy play the steelers pulled off with whats his name... I don't like either teams but watched anyway... I think the sehawks screwed themselves. They looked better but could not get it done... its all about points. it is what it is...

Very good point. An extra 6 points would have changed a lot of strategy.

Matt Hasselbeck hits Darrell Jackson for a 16-yard touchdown pass for a 7-zip lead? Nope. The incidental contact that occurs on nearly every NFL passing play was, actually, offensive interference...
Darrell Jackson pushed off of the defender, leaving the defender with no chance to catch the pass. Just because it happens on a lot of plays doesn't mean the penalty shouldn't be called when they are caught red-handed.

No poor ref calls prevented Seahawks from tackling Willie Parker or breaking up Antwaan Randle El's throw. I think the Seahawks were unlikely....Rothlesburger was in by a hair and that reciever was out of bounds by a hair, but they were the right calls.
