Next year in Miami!

Alas, the Seahawks didn't win the Superbowl. Not for lack of trying and being able to move the ball fairly well against the vaunted Steeler D, but for the lack of officiating. How in the world does a helmut across the goal line constitute a touchdown? How does a catch for a touchdown get negated simply because the offensive player touched the defender? How does a player get called for holding when no hold was evident and that cost the Seahawks a first down on the two? How does a player who is trying to tackle another player get called for a personal foul block? Yes, J. Stephens did drop two balls, and not everything went the way it was supposed to, yet the clear evidence was that the refs favored the Steelers throughout most of the game. I am not one for conspiracy theories, yet this begs the question, why were the Seahawks penalized whenever there might have been a chance that they could score on the Steelers except when there was no more chance for the Seahawks to win? Is it possible that the Refs were instructed to stop the Seahawks? Is it possible that the Refs were paid to stop the Seahawks? I hate to think that there were any shenanigans of that nature perpetrated on the fans of the game.
