One thing I think is kind of funny about people criticizing the officiating is that every assumes that if the Roth TD was overturned on replay, that one of the best red zone teams in the league wouldn't have found a way to get one inch on 4th and goal to score the touchdown anyway. Yet the very same people all assume that but for the the holding call, Seattle would have scored a touchdown from the 3 yard line.
You see what you want to see, I guess. Seattle made too many mistakes to win a big game against a good opponent, and that's not the officials' fault.

rulesmaven,
I agree with you that Seattle lost the game but I was disappointed with the overall performance of the crew.....
