The Hawks actually did outplay them, IMHO. They just didn't make the plays when they had to. They didn't make them when they needed to score, which is why they lost. Seen it before.

They lost fair and square in the score.

Seattle fans are used to whining....they all sound like Bill Gates.

Right. Doesn't matter who outplays whom. The final score is the game. If a team feels the refs are against them, they should kick it up a notch, not back off.

Well, the plays they needed to make the refs took away, like the TD for the non-existant pushing foul...7 pts, and the ball in the 2 yd line with the Alexander and his ability to get into the end zone...almost certainly another 7 pts. And more debatable, but I believe also a wrong call was the Roethlisberger TD where he pushed the ball over the line after he was down...would have had to settle for a FG...4 pts.

They lost fair and square in the score.

I'd say they lost by the score...thanks to the refs.
