It seems like Holmgren always gets screwed by the refs. Maybe it's something to do with him being on the competition committee. A play that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet is the holding call on that long punt return. I sure didn't see much of a hold. The pushoff in the end zone was an okay call, except that you almost never see refs make that call against receivers. The "illegal block" against Hasselbeck was the worst. An absolutely putrid call. I would be very angry if I was a Seahawk fan. But lucky for me, I wanted Holmy to lose.
By the way, I don't think the games are fixed. The refs just suck. We've been seeing this sort of officiating all year long. Why should it be any different now? Well, maybe it should be different because the best officials are supposed to be calling the Super Bowl. But that doesn't explain why Jeff Triplette, the worst ref in the league, was officiating a playoff game.
