Its bad sportsmanship if you pull a Matt Leinart and and gloat about how you are still better than who you lost and that the game was a fluke. I watched three different shows onn ESPN and all of the football analysts said that the officials definitely affected the outcome of the game.
The only question of clock management was at the end of the first half when Seattle audibled twice and used up 22 seconds.

I agree with pretty much all of your statements in this thread, except for the statement that Seattle was the better team in isolation.
For my money, Seattle is pretty much a poor man's Broncos (slightly better line, decidedly worse receivers) - but again, I won money Sunday, so I might be just as biased as you, but in the other direction. There's no doubt, however, that the Steelers did not play championship football on Sunday - it was a messy ass game, no doubt.
