Officials are humans too and to blame them for the Steelers loss is absurd considering how they played for the first 2 1/2 quarters. And we know how laughable Seahawks fans still sound (and how in recent days, Ranger and Flyer fans sound) when they cry about the refs. So all I wish is that these refs are reprimanded and emphasis is made to call all penalties at all times, no matter the game situation - like the NHL has demanded (how about that?!? Saying the NFL needs to follow the NHL's lead!). We've heard these post game apologies many times before and it doesn't seem like they are getting fewer and further in between.
Playoff flag that wasn't thrown

Mike Pereira, the NFL's head of officiating, admitted yesterday that his crew working the Steelers-Jaguars playoff game erred in not calling a holding penalty against Jacksonville on a crucial play that allowed the Jaguars to kick the winning field goal.
Quarterback David Garrard scrambled on fourth-and-2 from the Steelers 43 and made the first down. Three plays later, Josh Scobee kicked a field goal, giving the Jaguars a 31-29 victory. Several Steelers players complained there was blatant holding on Garrard's run. Nearly three months later, Pereira agreed with them.
Tomlin declined to comment on Pereira's admission.
