AGREED
So far only the Steelers (apt name), Steeler's fans and Rush Limbaugh think they won - the rest of the country thinks that player number 127 should be named MVP for the game ....
Just my humble female opinion

When a receiver puts his hand on the DB's chest and delivers a stiff arm with a full extension for the push off, that will almost always be (correctly) called offensive pass interference, unless the receiver's name happens to be Randy Moss. Get over it. It was a correct call regardless of what Michael Irvin (not the most objective source on the subject of offensive PI though one of the more experienced in the area), Steve Young, and John "Oh heck that wasn't a penalty" Madden have to say about it.
When an offensive lineman is flat out beaten by the defensive end so he throws an arm around the guy's neck or shoulder to try to ride him off of the QB (in one case literally tackling him in the other simply slowing him down enough for the QB to get rid of the ball), it will be called holding if it is the 33% of the time that the back judge or ref actually sees it. "Holding, Number 75 Offense" should have been called two or three times more than it was, but the two times that he got called were both good calls. Just because the one that resulted in a big pass being called back was slightly less flagrant than the other one didn't make it a bad call.
Forget the game, what about ABCs production? I thought they thoroughly sucked. Al Michaels acted bored, and as usual we often went to commercial with no expanation-time out? end of quarter? what happened? Madden goes off on wild tangents and the two of them have long conversations about some off the wall thing and ignore what is going on on the field. Just another Monday night in my opinion.
Did you watch the game? Are you aware the team that ends the game with a higher score is the winner?
Maybe you think Seattle played better at points throughout the game but the simple answer is the Steelers won.
