Yesterday in Seattle Mike Holmgren bitched and moaned about the officiating.

Well, Mike, the refs didn't allow Ben to complete a 37-yard pass on 3d and 28. The refs didn't let Willie Parker run 75 yards from scrimmage. And the refs didn't leave Hines wide open for a TD pass on the gadget, a play the Steelers had also used against Cleveland, which you might have known, Mike, had you bothered to watch the films.

And we won't even begin to talk about your clock management at the end of both halves.

Maybe if hadn't been so concerned about the officiating going into the locker room at the half that you didn't answer the sideline reporter's question but chose instead to bitch about what your guys in the booth had told you about the Steeler TD, maybe if you'd made some adjustments at halftime, Mike, like the Steelers did, you might have been able to win this game.

But you lost your focus, and your team allowed the Steelers two huge plays, and you lost.
