How many Steelers should've been called for holding when Parker had his miracle run?

Oh good grief. You complain about a holding that was called on Seattle and then complain about the fact that there should have been a holding call on the 75 rd run. If you are going to start bringing non-calls of holding into the discussion then you might just tip the scales of poor officiating in the other direction, but now complaining that the officials didn't take enough control of the game to enforce the rules on the Seattle O-linemen who got away with circumventing them nearly every time they were beaten by the defensive end or linebacker.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason it appeared that the calls went against Seattle was because Seattle committed more penalties, which is why more were called against them. I bet after the Steelers got flagged for false starts twice on their first 3-and-out possession you weren't thinking "Oh boy, the refs are on our side tonight" were you.

Actually, I was thinking. "These Steelers are overrated." After watching the game I'm convinced of it.
