I think the defense should be allowed to tackle the refs.

As would the Bucs, a thousand times over. I can hear it now.......
....Hocules steps back in the pocket....he looks to his right....he pump fakes......OH! Did you see that? Simeon Rice just blew by the center and layed a huge hit on Hocules! Wait, the flags on the grass....Derrick Brooks recovers it!! Hocules is writhing on the ground! The crowd is on their feet! Hold on....was his arm going forward before Rice stripped the flag? Oh God, not another booth review......

Joe Seahawk fan here.

3 terrible calls by the refs.
1. Interference on apparent TD catch.
2. Rothlesberger didn't score. (Not sure Stealers would not have scored anyway.-Who knows what coaches decide after missing 3 opportunities less than two yards from goal.
3. Holding. Yes, it was holding, but the referee must have been looking for it. This is usually a no call.

Yet, Seattle has noone to blame but themselves.
1. Receiver catches ball near 1st down marker and does NOTHING to get the first down. Result: 4th and less than 3 inches. Punt, no score. (-3 to 7 pts.)
2. Receiver catches ball near goal line. No effort to keep second foot in bounds. Result: no score. (-3 to 7 pts.)
3. 2 missed FG opportunities. Result: no score. (-6 points)
4. Clock management at end of 1st half. Result: Missed opportunity at at least 3 points, maybe more.

That's at least 15 points Seattle left off the board. Subtract the 14 points Seattle practically gave away and the game could have ended much differently.

Maybe this will be motivation for the Seahawks. It worked for Pitt this year.
