I haven't seen people here say that Seattle was the better overall team. I just read people saying that the better team lost. Were they better overall? I dont know. I don't know enough about Seattle, being that they play in an entirely different conference. But the NFL playoffs aren't the BCS (which certainly has many of it's own faults). That's why they're playoffs, and not bowl games.

Even if the officials did affect the outcome, again, two missed field goals, many dropped passes and out of bounds passes, and poor clock management. I disagree with you on the clock management, because I don't believe they made efficient use out of the second half 2 minute drill either. I also believe their use of timeouts during the second half was shortsighted in that they really needed them later on.

Both teams played ugly football. Both QBs were pretty crappy (I don't think i've heard one Pittsburgh fan say our QB played well... even the people who practically worship him). Both teams made a lot of mistakes.

It's a game. Someone has to win, that's the point of a game. It's fine to discuss and dissect, but i've seen a number of people, both here and elsewhere, get so personally offended and upset. If you have that much emotional attachment to a game, then perhaps it is best to stay out of discussions. (disclaimer: this is a general you, not directed towards any specific person).

Some people are taking this so personally. It is just a game. No one died because of it. It's not going to personally affect any of us in any significant way. There are much bigger things in the world to get worked up about.

Well said.

Now, will you tell them that I'm not and don't look anywhere near "that number"?!
