Assessment so far, ok game, not much drama, ok commercials, and a bland HT show.

Roethlisberger absolutely lost his mind on that pass. 10-14 point swing there. Un-freakin-believable. The Seahawks clearly have all the momentum now, and the Steelers playcalling is getting suspect.

This series seems oddly familiar to the Steeler's one late in the first half.

That one was weird, but in going for the tackle he also took out another player below the knee. I don't see how they call that a block, though.

Well, Al offers a reasonable explanation of what the refs must have been thinking.

That being said, I think that was the first really bad call by the refs tonight.

Ugh, this postseason has been so hard to watch with the refs screwing someone over in every single game.

It was a ref that threw the interception?

That was a horrible call. Who in their right mind thinks the QB, who just threw an interception, would illegally block the man running right next to the guy with the ball? He was obviously going for the tackle.

Have yet to see it called this year, even though it was added to be called a penalty this year.

I hope to God the refs at least gave the Seahawks some Vasoline before the game.

This is beyond ridiculous. The holding call was horrible and the "block" call was beyond horrible.

The NFL needs to clean house. The reffing in the playoffs has sucked. And the reffing in this game is reprehinsible. There is no excuse for this.

Back to the interception. I can't see how the ref even announces that play. On the interception return, the QB who threw the INT is throwing an block?

Nope, the Seahawks can blame themselves. They've been the better team throughout and consistently have shot themselves in the foot.

But for a ref (ANY REF) to give a 15 yard penalty on a tackle should be immediate dismissal. These guys are so far over their head it isn't even funny. And it's been decidedly one sided when it comes to calls in this game.
