(I watched the first 20 minutes in the vain hope that it would transform into something watchable, as if they had the REAL Puppy Bowl just waiting around the corner. I switched back later for the kitty halftime show but it turned out to be more of the same horseshit, except with disco music instead of Starbucks bluegrass. I have cats, I can just fuck around with them whenever I want.)
(I probably deserved this, as I read the Directv info box description beforehand and elected to believe it wasn't meant to be read literally [it was]. There were only two words: "Puppies play".)

This doesn't even make sense. Turn off the delusional Seattle fans network, dude.
I really, really don't get the big hard on everyone has this year ("this year" etc) for announcing every. single. game. the "worst officiated game ever." mostly everyone on thread OTM upthread about how if Seattle wanted to win they shoulda paid attention to the REAL clock and the REAL 75 td runs instead of the REAL score or the REAL penalties/calls???? Rofflesberger looked in to me; I mean he def threw up chalk so it was just a matter of when his knee hit. The Hasselbeck call was crap, true.

1) Kimo von Oelhoffen cost the Bengals a clear SB victory and should therefore be suspended by the league and possibly jailed.
2) Tom Brady would have never been called for a 15-yard blocking penalty in the SB which is why he has three rings and Hasselbeck has none.
3) If Peyton Manning was the Steelers QB then they would have been ahead 41-3 at the half and nobody would be talking about the questionable officiating because GREBTNESS doesn't require a CHICKENSHIT assist from the officials, etc.

Which is, like, a td + go for 2 + field goal, wtf?

But perhaps Seattle brought this on themselves by coming out of the tunnel to The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony." Note to the Seahawks: That's probably not the best choice of pump-up tunes. Next time, why not just play Beck's "Loser"?
I'm not griping about the officiating because I'm a Seahawk fan, or a Steeler hater, but because I was hoping for a good, close, exciting game, and if the "breaks" were not so lopsided, we would've probably got one. The offensive PI call, and the Roethlisberger "TD" call could've gone either way (and I have few doubts that the Steelers would've punched it in on 4th down anyways). The two holding penalties --- I'll watch again tonight, but nobody disagrees with how badly the officials missed the Hassellback "chop" (I have more doubts that Randel-El's TD pass would have necessarily been called, or been as successful if that 15yrd penalty had not been called).

You did get a fairly good, well played game, you just didn't get a close score. Tom Brady woulda scored 73 points to make up for "worst officiating ever".

Actually, the ref's first instinct looked like he called it down before the end-zone.

He still signaled touchdown. He NEVER signalled down at any point.
Not only that, replay shows the ball threw up chalk. Which means it did, in no uncertain terms, break the plane--so the ref was correct about that to begin with. So now you're talking about a replay judgement call as to whether or not the ball broke the plane BEFORE Roethlisberger's knee went down, or afterwards. It appeared to me, as it did to the refs, that it was not 100% certain, but certainly nowhere near any kind of evidence that the ball DIDN'T pass the plane before his knee was down.
And that is how the rules work. People can piss and moan all they like, and they'd be right to bitch about the Hasselbeck block, but the bottom line is that Seattle got sonned in a Bettis beef and if they deserved to win the game, they would've won it.
Is this really that hard for people to get? See also: The Pitt/Indy game where, by all appearances, the refs stopped just short of just SHOOTING Pitt players on the field.
