Like it would've stopped the Steelers scoring with that fake reverse anyway. If the Steelers had been 15 yards further back would a Seahawk have caught Ward? Nah. <br /><br />I think the only reason people question the holding call is because the officials ignored so many more blatant ones by the Seahawks that day. Something that seems to plague the Steelers every year.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983531752932655524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-44767257955538250262010-08-09T15:31:15.715-04:002010-08-09T15:31:15.715-04:00Way to set the record straight. i wouldn't nor...Way to set the record straight. i wouldn't normally accept it, but since you said it anonymously....

And a few bogus calls went against the Pittsburgh Steelers all post-season long ... especially at Indianapolis in the Divisional Playoffs.<br /><br />Dale, love the way you cover the Steelers!

I can find as much fault with Holmgrem's time management as I can with the referees. "If" he had done a better job they might have won. And "if" my sister had balls she'd be my brother. It's over, time to move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
