DJack's penalty was NOT a bad call - first of all, had the DB pushed off like that, it would be a GUARANTEED pass interference call . . . plus, he actually moved the DB off his spot. That defines pass interference. The worst part? He didn't NEED to push off, he had position and would have scored. The WRs for Seattle played like boneheads - how many times were they out of bounds on TDs? How many first downs did that soft TE of yours drop?
Say what you want about the rushing TD by Roethlisberger, but there wasn't conclusive evidence to overturn it no matter what you think. You simply couldn't see the ball as his knees hit.
Hasselbeck's penalty is the definition of nit-picking - take it easy, it's only 2 months until the Mariners begin their 110-loss season.
