I remember a Packers playoff loss to San Fran a few years ago. San Fran had clearly made a catch, with both feet down, full control, taking a step to run, when the receiver fumbled the ball and the Packers recovered. That ended the game, as it was very late in the fourth quarter. Alas, the refs actually said the receiver dropped the ball, allowing San Fran to keep it and have another crack at a touchdown to win the game.

Still, yesterday's game even had the Steelers fans I spent the day with shaking their heads. Sure, they enjoyed the calls, but no one could believe the number of calls made, not to mention a couple of non-call holding penalties that may have cost Seattle a score or two. It was fun to watch a game with such honest fans! It wouldn't have been so much fun, if they weren't so honest, however. Still, I'm happy that Paul Allen lost!
